          Overview

          The story behind the project

          The company traded across two countries with separate processes, fragmented data and no reliable group-level view of stock or margins — making decisions slow and uncertain.

          We implemented one Ala ERP across both countries, standardising core processes while respecting local requirements and giving leadership a single, consolidated view.

          The challenge

          What needed solving

          Operations were split across India and the Philippines with inconsistent processes and fragmented data, leaving leadership without a single view of stock, sales or margins.
