Securing Operational Excellence: How ASSA ABLOY Transformed Its Saudi Operations with eXerterp

ASSA ABLOY, a global leader in access solutions and security systems, embarked on a mission to digitally transform its core operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With a fast-expanding regional presence, the organization faced challenges in streamlining financial operations, managing complex supply chain processes, and improving HR workflows across multiple departments.

To address these critical needs, ASSA ABLOY partnered with Maiprosoft to implement a tailored ERP solution — eXerterp — that could unify operations, ensure compliance with Saudi regulations, and drive operational excellence. The project involved the deployment of eXert FAS (Financial Accounting System), eXert SCM (Supply Chain Management), and eXert HRM (Human Resource Management) modules across the Saudi operations.

ASSA ABLOY faced several critical challenges:

  • Lack of real-time financial visibility, causing delays in reporting and decision-making.
  • Disconnected supply chain workflows, which led to inefficiencies in procurement, vendor coordination, and inventory accuracy.
  • Manual HR processes that made it difficult to maintain employee records, calculate payroll with GOSI compliance, and track performance.
  • The need for an agile, compliant, and centralized ERP platform was critical for their long-term digital roadmap.
