About the Customer

Platinum Baz General Trading Company is a long-established organization specializing in the import and export of tobacco products. Founded in 1995, the company has grown into a multi-role trading enterprise operating as an agent, developer, distributor, exporter, importer, manufacturer, wholesaler, and retailer—supported by a workforce of 100–1000 employees.

As business operations expanded across multiple functions and markets, Platinum Baz required a modern ERP platform capable of unifying systems, improving planning accuracy, and delivering real-time operational intelligence. To achieve this transformation, the company partnered with WMS Middle East to implement SAP Business One on HANA, enabling connected workflows, stronger reporting, and efficient stock management across the organization.

Business Challenges

Before implementing SAP Business One on HANA, Platinum Baz faced several operational limitations:

  • Disconnected legacy systems created departmental silos and reduced coordination.

  • Absence of real-time information exchange slowed operational responsiveness.

  • Limited business intelligence and analytics restricted performance visibility.

  • Lack of structured planning and forecasting impacted decision-making and growth.

  • Inefficient stock management and tracking made it difficult to maintain optimal inventory levels.

These challenges constrained operational transparency, planning efficiency, and the company’s ability to scale effectively in a competitive trading environment.
