Obegi Chemicals (LLC), a member of the Obegi Chemicals Group (established in 1905), has grown into the largest independent network for the distribution of chemicals in the Middle East and Africa. The company's remarkable increase in the volume of business over the past few years has prompted the opening of a number of satellite units across the region, and the need for a complete ERP solution to improve the business flow and supply-chain management. The hunt was on for a top notch solution to effectively handle the operations of Obegi Chemicals (LLC).
Together ICICI and Obegi Chemicals (LLC) applied ORION, a top of the range Oracle based ERP solution. Regional Manager, Mr. Ghassan Kilani believes the ORION solution is perfectly suited to understand the needs of Obegi Chemicals (LLC). "We decided to go with the ORION solution, for the simple reason that it has the capability to cater to the complex and diverse requirements of the chemical distribution industry. We are confident that ORION will enable us to meet our objectives successfully by streamlining the company's business processes and enhancing both internal and external communication."
The ORION@Chemical solution implementation will take place at the Obegi Chemicals (LLC) Dubai office over the coming months extending to remote access facilities across all of their offices, including their headquarters in Lebanon.
ORION@Chemical solution is a powerful end-to-end collaborative business information solution based on ERP II and designed to meet the specific needs of the chemical industry. ORION@Chemical addresses the specific needs of any chemical business and these include; process planning, integration with process control system, management of the production of dangerous materials, material safety data sheet management, quality control tracking, production security, purchase-sales-inventory analysis and consignment sales tracking.
The ORION implementation at Obegi Chemicals (LLC) will result in an effective and profitable relationship management system with online capabilities in place enabling them to more effectively monitor inventory, track collections and sales returns, handle supply chains and ensure real-time order tracking.
"Over the next few months, the ICICI Infotech team will be integrating and standardizing Obegi Chemicals (LLC) operations with the help of ORION," said Kalpesh Desai, Executive Vice President and Operating Head, ICICI Infotech MEA Ltd. "With ORION in place, access to reliable data will save Obegi Chemicals (LLC) valuable time and provide them with enhanced decision-making capabilities, synchronizing production schedules with sales cycles."
