Abu Dhabi Precast LLC has been manufacturing precast concrete products since 2001 and is now one of the leading companies in the precast construction industry in the region . It has built an enviable reputation for the quality of services coupled with excellent stakeholder relationships . With state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and a team of domain experts , the company is committed to continuous improvement and delivering the highest quality product through process optimisation and implementation of cutting edge technologies .

Despite the parent group already using another well-known ERP , ADP found it challenging to map its precast specific requirements to a generic manufacturing ERP . Explaining the decision to deploy Epicor ERP , Jushak Rahman Chukkan , Operations Director at ADP , said : “ Epicor ’ s verticalised precast concrete solution , which was designed by its partner Index InfoTech , could cater to almost all our business scenarios out of the box and needed minor customisation . The solution became even more compelling as all features are available on the cloud , a consideration of great significance , particularly in light of the pandemic .”

“ Furthermore , Index InfoTech has already established a strong track record of successful implementations of this precast specific solution at several leading manufacturers in the region . This really gave us the confidence that this solution was the right fit for our business .”

By implementing the new concrete and precast specific ERP , ADP will have access to critical features like Revenue Recognition , Scheduling and Material Requirement Planning , Project Management ,

Transport and Contractor management from day one , as opposed to any other solution that would require heavy customisations to achieve similar functionality . The ability of Epicor to also integrate with design solutions and third party project management products will ensure that users can hit the ground running as the project goes live .

“ Running mostly disparate , legacy ERP systems , our customers were struggling to run processes , achieve efficiency , increase production or reduce costs ― all critical success factors in the manufacturing sector ,” added Murtaza Ezzi , CEO of Index Infotech . “ Through our membership in the National Precast Concrete Association ( NPCA ) – the world ’ s largest Precast Concrete body headquartered in USA – we have perfected some of the industry best practices and are now able to provide an end-to-end solution that addresses key requirements of the industry . I have no doubt that our solution will give our customers the growth platform they need , and I am delighted with the way the concrete industry is responding to our solution .”

Paul Flannery , VP of International Channel Sales at Epicor , said : “ It ’ s great to see that Abu Dhabi Precast LLC has selected Epicor ERP for this crucial project . Abu Dhabi Precast is in great hands with a wealth of industry expertise from Index , but also Epicor ’ s vertical specialisation will enable it to realise the full benefits of an Epicor Cloud solution .” �
