Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard (Asry), the Bahrain-based ship and rig repair yard, has gone live with Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise, a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that enables the company to digitise its business while raising its efficiency, sustainability and ability to innovate.
The achievement was marked by a celebration at the Gulf Hotel Bahrain Convention and Spa with the presence of Infor international executive vice president Wolfgang Kobek and Asry managing director Mazen Matar.
The Gulf region’s biggest maritime repair and fabrication facility, specialising in ship, rig and naval repair and onversion, and maritime fabrication and engineering, Asry’s facilities include a 500,000-deadweight-tonnage drydock, two floating docks, 15 repairs berths, twin slipways, a +2,500,000sqm fabrication area, and a full range of workshops and service centres.
With the implementation of the cloud solution, Asry will be able to keep track of orders involving thousands of specialist parts and components, both for servicing customers and for running and maintaining its own operations especially concerning its substantial scale and scope of business.
The ship-yard works with more than 2,000 business partners and typically tracks around 60 to 100 ongoing projects at any time.
