Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organisation, has been selected by Aramex, a leading global logistics provider, to carry out and implement enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform consolidation.

Aramex aims to simplify and transform its business globally by migrating its finance, human resources, procurement and operations functions onto a single ERP system, said a statement.

Bringing these operations onto a common platform will streamline these processes, provide a single view of the business and allow for central data management and information sharing across all business lines, it said.

Once implemented, the ERP including configuration, customisation, training, post go-live support and program management, will enable Aramex to continue delivering the most innovative services in a more efficient manner, it added.

Iyad Kamal, chief operating officer of Aramex, said: “We believe that this ability to rapidly introduce new technology solutions gives us a strong competitive edge.”

“This platform consolidation will perfectly allow us to strengthen collaboration across all business units. It will also help ensure that we maintain exceptional levels of service, for our customers and partners as well as our employees around the world,” he said.

“This is a natural, logical step in further streamlining our global business operations. Having TCS implement the program will ensure the transition to the new platform will be efficient, effective and seamless,” he added.

Varun Kapur, vice president and head of Middle East and Africa, TCS, said: “Our strong domain knowledge of transportation and logistics coupled with our experience in delivering large ERP transformation programs was key to this partnership.”

“Aramex has been a pioneer in the industry and we are excited to be its strategic partner in this journey. TCS has been helping organisations in the Middle East region for over 20 years now and this is a step further into its commitment to bringing its global best practices and success to this region,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
