Carmart Ltd., has selected solution partner Pristine Solutions Ltd., to implement the SAP Business One ERP to automate the operational and financial aspects of the business. With a special emphasis on handling multiple branches and automation of Carmart’s after sales facilities, the solution will cater to the unique requirements of the industry. Carmart is the agent for Mazda and Peugeot brands in Sri Lanka with over 60 years of experience in the automobile industry. It is the oldest continuously operating Peugeot importer in the Asian region, and one of the oldest in the world. Covering a broad spectrum of requirements, SAP Business One will act as a single integrated application covering areas such as Finance, Procurement, Inventory Management, Customer Relationship Management, Order processing and Service Management while leveraging on the in-built mobile readiness to give Carmart’s staff unprecedented access to information at any time.

One of the key highlights of the solution is to facilitate operational information through SAP Business One’s in-built business Intelligence dashboards. In turn this would assist to serve a customer either from the point of an enquiry or to status of an ongoing job. Carmart CEO, Yasendra Amerasinghe, stated that access to current and accurate information, as well as streamlined operational and decision-making processes were key to providing exceptional customer service and increased efficiency. “We contracted Ernst & Young to harness their experience in doing a thorough study of our business processes, from which we conducted a comprehensive study of solutions available in the local and global market and finally decided on SAP Business One for its extensive functionality, broad integrated functions and ease of use.” Implementation will consist of using SAP’s accelerated implementation methodology that will act as the framework to improve business processes and to provide a landscape to optimise workflow efficiency in enhancing turnaround time for delivery.
