Electronica Tough Carb replaces SAP with Infor to accelerate business growth


Infor, a provider of business application software serving more than 70,000 customers, claimed that Electronica Tough Carb Limited, an SRP Electronica venture company, and a leading manufacturer, supplier and exporter of Tungsten Carbide products, has gone live with Infor LN to achieve the next phase of its business growth. Additionally, Infor ION will provide integration between Infor and third-party applications to help drive agility, speed and incorporate better business intelligence. Infor partner Godrej InfoTech Limited implemented the Infor solution with accuracy and speed for the metal tools manufacturing pioneer.

As a pioneer in providing a complete range of industry-leading Tungsten Carbide-based products, Electronica Tough Carb Ltd. (ETCL) follows stringent quality control processes for every stage of product manufacturing from raw material to finished product. With Infor LN completely replacing the existing ERP system from SAP, ETCL aims to automate business processes across locations, gain more complete visibility into inventory and operating expenses and streamline costing procedures to drive increased efficiency, accuracy and accountability of resources on a centralised platform.

News Points / Achievements

·        In a bid to make its operations and business processes more efficient and profitable, ETCL was using generic ERP tools from SAP to address the complex business operations of producing Tungsten Carbide products. Infor LN provides deep micro-vertical functionality for ETCL through a purpose-built application to streamline business operations and raise operational efficiency.
·        ETCL was facing issues with inaccurate inventory management due to previously having to manually reconcile its raw materials and finished goods stocks. Additionally, the company lacked visibility in tracking materials movement and registering cost of repairing faulty instruments. With Infor LN, ETCL aims to drastically increase accuracy in material reconciliation by automating recoveries and non-recoveries of its inventory. Infor LN is also expected to help ETCL smooth material movement processes and align registration of instrument repair costs. 
·        Additionally, the company required better accurate operating cost visibility for each batch operation and sought to eliminate standardised costing for different product orders. Infor LN is designed to deliver real-time insight into the progress of each batch for calculating accurate utilisation of material and processes involved in a production cycle. This added insight, in turn, helps the company  calculate the actual cost of product; reduce operating expenses and retrieve reliable information for its accounting division to factor in accurate costing and billing procedures.
