Before implementing the ERP system and connecting it to the B2B platform e-bridge, the company used several functional systems which, collectively, were known as the ‘Old MIS’. This included a sales recording system, an inventory management system, and a financial accounting system. Relative to these former systems, the operational benefits of the new ERP system and its linkage with the B2B platform can be characterized as follows:
The order-to-delivery process has been shortened from four to two hours.
The time for financial closure for all subsidiaries, including all platforms, has been reduced
from fifteen to three days.
