Boosts efficiency across 34 business areas
The National Agricultural Development Company (NADEC) of Saudi Arabia has successfully implemented SAP Signavio, leveraging the technology to advance the company’s digital transformation strategy.
The initiative is aligned with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, and aims to enhance the efficiency of NADEC’s services, supporting diversification of its products and enabling it to enter new sectors in the food industry. It will also support expansion into local, regional, and global markets while improving customer satisfaction and product quality.
Supported by the SAP Customer Success program, NADEC achieved the deployment within just five days, and customers, staff and partners are already benefitting from the results. In total, 51 business processes have been transformed, including finance, procurement, warehousing, production, quality control, sales, transportation, and plant maintenance.
Operational excellence
“Achieving operational excellence is fundamental to NADEC’s goal of supporting a diversified economy and contributing to regional and global food security strategies. Through the SAP Signavio business transformation project, we have integrated and streamlined our business processes, automated tasks and gained greater visibility, insight, and control over our diverse operations,” asserted Saad Saud Alhowaimel, NADEC, Vice President-Digital & Technology.
The NADEC SAP Signavio project was so successful that it outperformed competitors across global industries to win the category of ‘Best Achievement in a Business Process Management Program’ at this year’s prestigious Business Transformation & Operational Excellence Awards held in the US, according to a press communique.
