Power Generation service provider plugs its operations into Ramco ERP

THE COMPANY

Someone has rightly said: “In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words: people, product, and profits. Unless you've got a good team, you can't do much with the other two.”

The ace team of this Hyderabad-based power generation service provider agrees no less and believes that people are the lifeblood of an organization. Headquartered in Hyderabad, the company provides end-to-end support solutions to customers across the power generation spectrum, around the world.

“…Quality people make quality organization,” is the vision that has driven the company from strength to strength and has led to its exponential growth in the last three decades. The company, which once began with a modest team size of four people, has grown into a skilled workforce comprising 500 employees. Its workforce has extensive domain expertise and proven mission-critical skills in bringing technology and engineering together to provide innovative services to the power sector industry. The services include operations and maintenance, turnkey erection, testing and commissioning of steam, gas, and hydropower plants, overhauls, inspections, etc.

Quality of the highest order and impeccable service commitment are the core values that drive the work culture of the company and have become the hallmarks of the company’s success in the power sector industry. No wonder, it has acquired large mindshare in the power services industry and built its capacity to handle multiple power projects at the same time.

RODE THAT WAS TAKEN…

Hence, to tide the loose business ends, the search for an agile and comprehensive transaction management system began, which on the one hand would empower the company to manage its growing number of power projects and enable the project heads to make near-perfect project cost estimations (as project bottom-line was directly enough to scale up along with the business.

The company evaluated several ERP solutions, including Ramco Systems' RODE (Ramco OnDemand ERP)—a full-blown ERP solution, which is offered via the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. Since RODE is a cloud-based ERP platform, the scalability of the solution played a critical role in swaying their decision in favor of RODE.

The business modules that the company implemented include:

General Ledger, Inventory Management, Payable and Receivables Management, Purchase, Sales and Shipping, Service Management, Discrete Production, Human Resource Management System (HRMS), and Management Information System.

WHAT’S IN THE OFFING?

With multiple projects in its kitty and more pouring in, the company is surely marching towards a promising future—all set to move up the value chain of power services. It is consolidating its strengths in erection and overhauling services. Going forward, the company has plans to introduce a range of new services to its portfolio. To achieve these objectives, it has plans to recruit more technical manpower and enhance the existing skills, set up a new manufacturing/workshop facility, et al. The company is hopeful of achieving these goals by effectively leveraging its powerful IT (RODE) setup.
