SAP Business Transformation Study | Mill Products | Emami Cement Limited Emami Cement: Meeting Customer Demands and Beating the Competition with SAP S/4HANA® ©2016 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. Producing more than 2.5 million tons of cement annually across its seven plants, it’s critical for Emami Cement Limited to be competitive in the crowded, local cement sector. As a relatively new player in India’s cement market, Emami wanted a best-inclass solution to provide superior analytics and real-time inventory tracking. SAP was a clear choice of IT partner with its dominant presence in the cement industry segment. Emami’s top management drove the decision to invest in SAP S/4HANA® to avoid any migration needs down the road. The company has placed SAP S/4HANA at its digital core. The software will help maintain tight cost control and generate higher revenue by meeting the demands of its customers. By constantly capturing and tapping in to critical data on its competitors, market, prices, and discounts, Emami will be able to proactively communicate with more than 200 of its customers. And the road doesn’t stop there – Emami will increase transparency with access to real-time inventory information for its customers with SAP Fiori® apps, making it even easier for them to get the right quantity of cement when they need it.
