Eurocopter Kazakhstan Engineering, LLP

March 27, 2014, Astana — SAP and Limited Liability Partnership Eurocopter Kazakhstan Engineering announced the commencement of a mutual project aimed at implementation of a SAP® Business One 9.0-based solution that would become a basis for an integrated information system of one of the world leading aviation companies. GasIntech — a leading consulting company specializing in implementation of SAP® Business One in Russia — became their partner in the sphere of implementation.

Company’s management decided to implement SAP® Business One solution, which is also integrated with Aero One® specialized solution produced by 2MoRO Solutions and designed to manage maintenance, repair and operations (MRO). Use of a combination of SAP® Business One and Aero One® by all of its branches enables Eurocopter not only to perform the important (MRO) functions, but also to get a single integrated solution combining all the required functions of the ERP system. The task of combining all the business processes of Eurocopter Kazakhstan Engineering, LLP — a joint venture of JSC NK Kazakhstan Engineering and a large transnational aircraft company Eurocopter — occurred due to the growth of the company’s international business, the need to ensure long-term stable development of the company and its focus on innovations. The company’s priority is to ensure flight safety, and that is why it pays much attention to efficient organization of production and maintenance, automation of business processes and control over their implementation in a single information space comprising a specialized MRO solution.

The accounting department had long been the most automated company’s unit. The business was growing, and it became obvious that such an approach did not ensure continuity of business processes did not allow to perform current tasks at the required speed and finally was an obstacle in the way of achieving business goals.

By implementing SAP® Business One 9.0, they are planning to ensure centralized control over business processes of the company, improve efficiency and quality of business analytics, optimize and standardize staff work, as well as bring all the stages of work with clients (from sale of helicopter equipment to its maintenance) to a new qualitative level.

«Safety meeting the current requirements existing in the aircraft industry can be ensured only at a high degree of automation and control over all the key business processes within a single information environment. That is why we see our way as follows: to create such a system and to choose such a solution for that purpose, which meets industrial requirements and which has proven itself successful in the market — SAP® Business One», — Tristan Serretta, Director General of Eurocopter Kazakhstan Engineering, LLP, said.

«I am sure that implementation of SAP® Business One in Eurocopter, a leader of civil and business aviation, will continue the SAP tradition of implementing successful projects in such major aircraft companies as EADS, Airbus, Japan Airlines, Lockheed Martin. Our technologies provide world aviation leaders with stable competitive advantage and reliability, for which they are so appreciated by their customers and partners», — Ilya Yuriev, Deputy Director General of SAP CIS, noted.

The following key business processes will be also automated on the basis of SAP® Business One: customer relations, sales of equipment and accessories, after-sales services, warehouses, maintenance and repairs management. The planned integration with the local accounting system will allow carrying out financial planning, analysis and forecast of company’s activities on the basis of accurate data. About 30 users will work in the system simultaneously.
