Arabian Gulf’s leading maritime repair and fabrication facility set to streamline business processes

Arab Shipbuilding & Repair Yard (ASRY), the Arabian Gulf’s leading maritime repair and fabrication facility based in Bahrain, has signed a contract with Infor to implement a new state-of-theart facility-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to spearhead its digital transformation.

ASRY, established in 1977, handles the repair and conversion of ships, rigs and naval vessels, in addition to offering fabrication and engineering services covering onshore and offshore industrial components.

The company has more than 2,000 employees and operates large-scale facilities including a 500,000-deadweight drydock, two floating docks, 15 repair berths, and a 250,000+-square-meter fabrication area. ASRY completes around 250 projects annually.

Digital upgrade

As a pillar of the region’s maritime sector, ASRY’s directors were keen to streamline and automate processes across every department in the company and upgrade ASRY’s digital integration to industry best practice.

The company selected Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise which will run on Amazon Web Services, delivering high performance, scalability and security to replace the existing ERP system.

Infor’s solutions will help ASRY improve the quality of service for its global customer base, and help it tap into a global marine port and service market that is expected to reach US$ 97bn by 2025, according to research firm Lucintel.

Modernisation

“As part of ASRY’s modernisation, this project is a digital overhaul of the entire company’s processes and procedures,” commented Mazen Matar, Managing Director, ASRY.

“ASRY’s use of AWS for the new ERP also creates further integration with Kingdom’s burgeoning ICT sector,” continued Matar. “We are the latest in a wave of businesses and government entities tapping into the advanced and secure technology infrastructure being developed and expanded throughout Bahrain,” he added.

“Infor helps organisations improve productivity, efficiency, and visibility across their operations, enabling management to make better-informed choices. We’re thrilled to be working with ASRY on its digital transformation, and we look forward to helping it achieve its business goals in a dynamic industry,” noted Amel Gardner, Vice President MEA, Infor.

ASRY-Infor partnership

ASRY and Infor aim to complete the deployment of the first phase of Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise within 11 months. The platform will incorporate all divisions of the yard, including commercial, supply chain, production, finance and general services.

There will also be modules for a new cloud-based human capital management (HCM) capability to help ASRY deliver streamlined workforce processes, as well as a new customer relationship management (CRM) module.
