B L Kashyap, a construction and infrastructure development company, has engaged All-e Technologies (Alletec), a provider of enterprise business solutions, as its technology partner to implement Microsoft (MS) Dynamics NAV (the ERP solution from Microsoft) across all company offices and project sites.
The solution is based on the Alletec vertical solution for infrastructure companies – NaviConstruct and has been designed to address the needs of companies in ‘Projects’ business. The new ERP solution has been introduced with a view to enable B L Kashyap, process information of varying criticality, easily and effectively. The solution also facilitates seamless integration of all processes within the company.
Prior to having Alletec on board, B L Kashyap had been facing business challenges in terms of generating financial MIS, getting online inventory positions across projects, optimum utilisation of fixed assets and its online tracking etc. Moreover, the legacy systems deployed were technically not scalable enough to meet the growing needs of the organisation.
Eventually, driven by the need to have flexibility towards incorporating business specific features, B L Kashyap decided to replace the current IT system. Therefore, a core team was formed which analyzed a number of options to boost up the IT infrastructure and manage information/ data intelligently. After a detailed survey of market offerings and an in-depth analysis, the company selected MS Dynamics NAV as the solution that seemed to best meet its business objectives and ‘Alletec’ as its technology partner.
Prashant Tyagi – director (Projects), B L Kashyap said, “Our key objective was to standardise technology platforms, business processes and implement a single point of information. MS Dynamics NAV and Alletec have helped us achieve this objective efficiently and cost effectively”.
The implementation process was completed within a short timeframe of four months making B L Kashyap more competitive with improved data flow and management and with accurate and timely MIS (Management Information System).
The new IT support system has helped the company achieve its key objective of enabling top managers with accurate information, onsite inventory and purchase, contracts, stock transfers and comparison with budgets. Standardisation of the technology platform has reduced the IT administrative costs and led to efficient planning and project management.
