MRF Tyres Implements SAP ERP

MRF Tyres has gone live with an extensive SAP ERP application across over a thousand users. The SAP application replaces the Oracle applications that had previously been deployed by MRF.

MRF has implemented SAP’s ERP and CRM solutions, based on the SAP NetWeaver platform, across the head office, six factories and over a hundred sales offices to provide a single comprehensive view of company information. The solid IT foundation will help MRF gear up for future challenges.

Prince Azaria, CIO, MRF Tyres, commented, "This collaboration with SAP will be a key enabler in optimising our core processes for achieving the vision we have set for our business transformation".

The SAP system offers real-time visibility into key data, systemises the tracking and calculation of transportation and shipping costs and helps with procurement management. It also allows for integrated and simulative Web-based planning for monthly sales and production targets using BI-IP, while the Document Management System facilitates high volume storage of R&D data for easy retrieval.
