🏢 Client Overview: Elumatec
Elumatec is a globally recognized leader in manufacturing machines and solutions for processing aluminum, PVC, and steel profiles. With decades of expertise and a footprint in over 50 countries, the company serves customers across sectors like construction, automotive, and industrial fabrication. Their machinery is known for its precision, efficiency, and reliability.
The UAE division of Elumatec plays a critical role in serving the GCC region. However, despite having an ERP system in place, the implementation—carried out by another vendor—was poorly aligned with the operational and regulatory requirements specific to Dubai. This caused reporting gaps, inaccurate inventory records, and accounting discrepancies.
To restore control and build a reliable digital backbone, Elumatec UAE partnered with KoderXpert Technologies LLP to refactor and reimplement key modules of their existing ERP system, primarily focusing on accounting, inventory, and custom reporting.
❓ Challenges Faced
Although an ERP system existed, it was broken in critical areas. Elumatec UAE experienced the following challenges:
- Non-Compliant Accounting Setup
The existing accounting structure did not follow Dubai-specific standards, including VAT handling, multi-currency rules, and audit compliance. - Inaccurate and Disorganized Inventory Records
Inventory data lacked synchronization with sales and purchase flows, leading to mismatched quantities, missing valuations, and inefficient stock planning. - Lack of Financial and Operational Reports
There were no custom reports to support financial audits, management review, or procurement decisions. Teams had to rely on spreadsheets and manual reconciliation. - Access Management Issues
User roles and permissions were not well-defined, creating risks of data leaks, unauthorized changes, and poor accountability. - Low System Trust
Due to inconsistent data and missing controls, teams hesitated to rely on ERP outputs for critical decision-making.
🌟 Goals & Objectives
Elumatec's leadership aimed to bring their ERP system back in alignment with business needs. Key objectives included:
- Refactor the accounting module based on Dubai VAT and financial compliance norms.
- Implement accurate inventory valuation and synchronization.
- Design and deploy custom financial and inventory reports.
- Define role-based access controls and improve data security.
- Rebuild system trust among users through reliability and training.
