KTDA has completed the rollout of the SAP (Systems, Application and Products) across its 71 managed factories in a bid to enhance efficiency and productivity.
The system whose rollout commenced in 2016 will be used to run various functions across the tea value chain including green leaf management, factory processes, logistics, human resource, finance and sales and marketing.
SAP is a leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that provides solutions to help businesses manage various aspects of their operations, including finance, supply chain, human resources, and customer relationships. It integrates all business functions within a single database and enables faster access to the data to enable businesses make decisions.
“This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of all stakeholders involved. I also wish to thank the project team for their dedication to the project,” said Collins Bett, Managing Director, KTDA Management Services. “We are excited to reap the benefits of this transformative project and continue to drive efficiency and growth within the tea industry.”
KTDA MS handles extension services, processing, logistics, marketing, accounting and warehousing of teas on behalf of more than 700,000 farmers across the country.
KTDA says that SAP will enhance efficiency, improve integrated management processes, strengthen information security, enhance processing of growers’ payments and enable real-time data entry and reporting for better decision-making significantly enhancing KTDA’s overall productivity.
