RAK Ceramics has agreed with SAP to deploy its software solutionsin its plants to increase its process efficiency.
The two-phase project will see SAP implement a comprehensive suite of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools across the company?s 12 UAE factories, before rolling it out to five international locations.
"Embracing cutting-edge IT solutions from SAP is a major step in making RAK Ceramics run better, improving end-to-end process integration and harmonisation, and driving sustainable business growth," said Khaled Abdulla Yousef, board member, RAK Ceramics.
