| Sumita Pawar |
Aramtec, one of the UAE’s longest-established food service companies, is delivering on a year-long strategy to become cloud-based and digitally empowered through solutions from global technology company SAP SE (NYSE: SAP).
The strategy, according to the report, is to fully automate and improve Aramtec's import of premium food brands and goods, as well as its online store Butchershop. As a result, the company has committed to a transformation journey, including an upgrade of its ERP landscape.

The new Aramtec strategy, titled Project Phoenix, will enhance the company’s food services it delivers to hotels, restaurants, airlines, and other commercial F&B outlets.
With a need for flexibility, agility, and scalability, Aramtec’s adoption of cloud computing using RISE with SAP and S/4HANA solutions met all these criteria while delivering a tailored strategy based on SAP’s deep expertise in supply chain management and the food service industries.
Edgard Chalhoub, general manager of Aramtec, said, "Our objective is to capitalise on the digitization and automation benefits of technology to run our business more smoothly and to optimise our productivity and efficiency."
"We are set to achieve greater visibility and control over all areas of Aramtec’s operations, as well as our complex supply chain and distribution network, as we have more than 2,000 stock keeping units (SKUs) distributed to thousands of customers." "Ultimately, Aramtec will have the capacity to respond quickly to our customers’ needs and changes in the supply chain environment," Edgard Chalhoub added.
The report further stated that Aramtec’s move to the cloud was accelerated through its adoption of RISE with SAP, which provides a pathway to the cloud for any customer, irrespective of starting point or complexity.
The offering goes beyond a technical migration to the cloud, instead enabling an adaptable and sustainable transformation of a company while realising a faster time-to-market for new capabilities and applications.
The Managing Director of SAP UAE, Zakaria Haltout, said, "Aramtec's commitment to becoming an SAP-designated Intelligent Enterprise means it is in line with regional plans for digital transformation and improves the services it offers to both existing and new-market customers."
Managing Director of SAP UAE concluded that by leveraging SAP’s cloud-based S/4HANA, Aramtec will benefit from the latest SAP technologies and updates. It will enjoy precise stock control and record keeping, 360-degree views of all operations, automation of business processes, a reduced total cost of ownership, and the ability to manage business change and scale operations rapidly.
The implementation of the SAP solutions at Aramtec, which will also include SAP Payroll, is expected to go live in the third quarter of 2023.
