The latest organisation to join the exclusive and elite corporate segment of Microsoft Dynamics ERP is the exporters of coir based substrates worldwide; Tropicoir Lanka Ltd.
Tropicoir stands tall after being in the industry for 17 years as the leader in quality and innovation with over 200 dedicated employees who are fully committed to the company’s vision. They maintain a close relationship with their clients in order to keep up with the fast changing technologies in the global horticulture market. “As the company grew each day, we saw the increasing need to streamline processes to improve productivity and reduce costs,” stated Tropicoir Lanka Ltd. Managing Director Dinesh Fernando.
To improve operations in their organisation, Tropicoir group wanted to replace its existing system which until then used manual processes.
While looking in to all possibilities to streamline operations in their organisation they came across Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 which has been used by over 100 customers in Sri Lanka since its inception in the south east region in 2005. Microsoft Dynamics is a fully integrated business system solution which carries the capability of cutting across areas of finance, manufacturing, trading, supply chain management, inventory management, service management and many other critical business modules.
This is when Jinasena InfoTech Ltd. was chosen to do the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009.
“We were thoroughly comfortable with Jinasena InfoTech as our ERP partner during the selection process as they have successfully completed the Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP implementation which is the most advanced version of the Dynamics ERP family within the Jinasena group and many other organisations in Sri Lanka. We were very keen on working with them due to the enthusiasm shown and as they have done their research and development activities at ‘ONAK’, another subsidiary company of Jinasena InfoTech that is dedicated for ERP training and R & D activities. We were extremely happy to have the young yet experienced team of functional and technical consultants from Jinasena InfoTech work on our project. This energetic team of young local talent worked very hard until the success of the project. We didn’t have any doubts selecting them for our project as they have the genetics from the well-established mother company Jinasena,’’ said Fernando.
Jinasena InfoTech Ltd. Managing Director Senaka Attygalle stated that to make an ERP implementation successful, it is very important to do a comprehensive process mapping with the required Business Process Reengineering. The BPR work done during the process finalisation stages will bring greater benefits to the organisation.
Attygalle said that he was proud to announce the entire project was successfully completed by our very own local talent. “Our dynamic team worked tirelessly day in and day out to get the implementation going smoothly. I am proud to see the completion of this project due to our vision and hard work in this venture. We identified Tropicoir Lanka as the market leader in exporting environment friendly coir substrates recognised globally, their main buyer being Europe and Australia. Our prime vision was to venture in this project while preserving the core values of the 110 years old mother company, Jinasena Engineering group, ‘Quality’, ‘Service’ and ‘Integrity’.” Furthermore he added that it was a pleasure to have a leading industry in Horticulture such as Tropicoir Lanka, making the right choices in their path to becoming a truly ‘dynamic business’ and as a result give their best to their clients in return. With this move tropicoir will be able to enjoy a successful Microsoft business solution that can scale as they grow and deliver long-term value for many more years in business in this competitive environment as the country’s leading exporters of coir based substrates worldwide. Attygalle finally said, “As a strong and stable organisation in Sri Lanka we have diverse plans in our IT ventures to provide total business solutions with quality service and support levels for our customers.”
