Jumbo inks deal with Al Madani Group to implement proClarity business intelligence solution

Jumbo Electronics, the leader in UAE consumer electronics and retail sector for over 30 years, has announced a partnership with Al Madani Group of companies (AMG) - the region's leading fashion retailer (with reputed brands like Hang Ten, Levis, Gas, Dockers etc.) - for the implementation of ProClarity Business Intelligence Solution which will help the Group to analyze and generate critical management reports with speed and simplicity.

The implementation, which utilizes Microsoft Analysis Services and ProClarity Business Intelligence solution, will help AMG produce critical management reports in real time; make overall report generation easier, simpler and quicker and allow critical decisions based on analysis of current business trends.

Speaking about the partnership, Mr. Mohammad Al Madani, Chairman & CEO, Al Madani Group, said: "As we continue to grow our presence through the region, we needed a single, automated solution for our increasingly complex operations. We have selected Jumbo Electronics as our implementation partner for its proven track record in software solutions. We are also certain that ProClarity's BI Solution will enable us to be more agile and be responsive to the changing market needs."

Mr. MNC Ray, General Manager, Enterprise Solutions Division, Jumbo Electronics, said: "We are proud to partner with AMG, one of the leading names in UAE'S burgeoning fashion industry. In an industry faced with the daily pressures on margins, performance and the bottom line, ProClarity BI solution offers AMG a proven customer-focused innovative solution to succeed today and to adapt to the changing industry landscape of the Middle East market. AMG is currently generating its critical management reports through a manual consolidation from various systems making it a very time consuming process. By choosing ProClarity Business Intelligence Solution, AMG will be able to conduct in-depth analysis of reports leading to faster, smarter and informed decisions which are critical to any company's success."

Jumbo has earlier implemented the ERP solution (Microsoft Great Plains) as well as Microsoft Retail Management System for all 36 AMG stores across the Middle East. This has led to an overall improvement in distribution operations and a significant enhancement in efficiency.

AMG believes that it is essential to continue to explore its functionalities and add more features at the reporting level in order to fully leverage the ERP system. Although the solution generates detailed and accurate reports, in order to get the maximum mileage out of the available technology, AMG feels it must continue to upgrade for business success.

Once complete, ProClarity will enable the creation of sophisticated analytical reports for AMG's key decision-makers helping them easily monitor business activity, spot business trends and respond quickly to market needs.

The team at Jumbo will soon begin a comprehensive study of the existing reporting information at AMG in order to have a smooth introduction of the new system. In September last year, Jumbo announced its success in providing leading-edge IT Consulting and Software services to companies across the Middle East region with over 75 implementations at over 200 sites within a span of five years.
In a matter of six months, the company has undertaken 10 implementations and won 6 new clients. Jumbo achieved success in key industry verticals - namely Manufacturing, Retail, Trading / Distribution and Hospitality.

Leading corporations across the Middle East such as Habtoor Hospitality, PMK Consultants, Dubai Projects, Baniyas Co-op Society, and Sara Trading are amongst several others join a growing list of companies that have chosen Jumbo as a implementation partner to enhance operations and processes.
