Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) has adopted SAP AG’s ERP ECC 6.0 solution.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will implement the project and it is expected to go live in 18 months. The deployment will also include other solutions such as SAP SRM, Real Estate Management and BU-BI Analytics.
“Airports today want the right competitive advantage; real-time business processing drives stronger outcomes and helps increase bottom lines. SAP has been aiding airports in India and across the world to get up-to-speed, become transparent and achieve greater profitability by enabling sound management,” said Mr Mathew Thomas, Vice President – Strategic Industries, SAP India.
The solution will enable the different departments of CIAL to be connected over a unified network and aims to facilitate smoother information flow and access.
CIAL has over 500 employees and an annual turnover of Rs 250 crores. The company needed a solution suite that would integrate the functions of different sections and departments on a single platform and include internationally accepted best practices and features. The solution will be integrated with CIAL’s existing cargo and duty-free shop system and will boast of the ability to send live dashboard reports to senior management.
