Technology makes promises to business-real-time analytics & reports, systems modernisation, intelligent supply & demand chains, revamped operating models, and finally, digital transformation. So, what happens when digital transformation leads to stronger outcomes: Intelligent enterprises unlock new business value and drive business growth.

The Challenges

When Ascend -a Medical Technology & Solutions company in Saudi Arabia, transitioned to the digital economy by harmonising data across sales, customer care, billing, project management, and medical device and equipment inventory, with legacy systems, both the challenges and opportunities were of a giant scale.

With the business expanding at a rapid pace and with no existing ERP for medical devices and equipment in place, Ascend required a powerful, cloud-speed, flexible, and intelligent solution. A customised solution for healthcare that could seamlessly streamline their daily business operations, reduce their risks, and save them time and money.

The Solution

While the chief goal of SAP Business One for Healthcare was to improve the efficiency of their business operations, increase employee productivity, and respond intelligently to market demands, Ascend chose Abacus as their preferred SAP Business One partner for their outstanding reputation of success.

Established for rolling out SAP Business One across a broad range of operations, Abacus delivered an intelligent, cost-efficient, paperless- cloud-based digital roadmap for their healthcare operations by automating core modules, such as financials, inventory, supply chain, purchasing, project management, and customer relationship management.

“Being a Medical Technology & Solutions company, we selected SAP as a platform for our Commercial and Operations activities. We truly believe in SAP capabilities to get all the benefits of automation and integration of business operations. We are proud to have a world-class platform implemented by a very professional partner like Abacus. We are looking forward to implement further solutions and modules of SAP” — Asif Ullah, CFO/COO at Ascend Healthcare Solutions The Results

With Ascend management able to render accurate data for better forecasting, planning, and aligning of financial and daily operations, the results were better-informed decisions, allowing them to deliver stronger quality customer care through the delivery of relevant products and services. Most importantly, SAP Business One for Healthcare helped Ascend gain financial control, maximising profitability and margins.

“The biggest benefit for us is that SAP Business One for Healthcare gives us the complete package: our operations are linked from the moment the sales teams identify a potential opportunity.” — Umar Rahim, Financial Controller at Ascend Healthcare Solutions.

This is just one example of how Abacus-a top SAP Business One partner, has helped many of the world’s leading healthcare organisations better their bottom line and improve business efficiency.
