Leveraging RISE with SAP will allow Gulftainer to adopt new technology solutions
Gulftainer, a leading operator of regional ports and terminals, will migrate its core ERP to the cloud, adopting RISE with SAP and S/4HANA to enhance its regional and global operations, as part of its wider digital transformation roadmap.
Under their expanded collaboration, Gulftainer’s Group CEO, Peter Richards, recently met with Marwan Zeineddine, Managing Director, SAP UAE, alongside senior representatives from both companies including Vinay Sharma, Director-IT, Gulftainer, and Johannes Dressler, Chief Operating Officer, SAP Middle East South, to formalise a new chapter of this strategic partnership that will advance Gulftainer’s digital capabilities, providing a competitive edge to customers and partners.
“In a dynamic and fast-paced supply chain and logistics industry, technological innovations are the key driver for our transformation journey. Gulftainer has long been at the forefront of accelerating technology trends, setting an ambitious strategy to implement new technologies and innovative solutions within our operations,” commented Richards.
New technology solutions
Leveraging RISE with SAP will allow Gulftainer to adopt new technology solutions, reduce operating costs and cut time to market with customised solutions, aiming to realise its digital ambition of becoming more innovative and resilient.
Additionally, the adoption of RISE with SAP will grant Gulftainer access to advanced analytics, machine learning and robotic process automation (RPA) technologies, fostering improved business operations and insightful decision-making, while helping the company meet its environmental commitments.
Future proofing
“With SAP S/4HANA deployed, the company will benefit from increased efficiencies, real-time data insights, and greater visibility over its operations, enabling the agility to respond quickly to changes in the market and take advantage of opportunities as they arise,” explained Zeineddine.
“The adoption of RISE with SAP will ensure unparalleled operational efficiency – from streamlined updates to more robust security features – the solution will empower Gulftainer with advanced technological data to enhance our business operations, licences optimization and customer service,” concluded Sharma.
