In the steel industry in Pakistan, Ishtiaq Steel is a renowned name. When it comes to implementing effective quality controls different companies have different ways to go about it. Ishtiaq Steel started in 1975 and is one of the largest steel industries in Pakistan. Mostly the steel is supplied to large scale sectors which include national highway authority, government sectors, local market, car shops, and trucking industry. In Gwadar, the development projects taking place use steel coming from the Ishtiaq Steel industry.
Before the launch of the Ishtiaq Steel industry, the manufacturing of heavy sections in Pakistan was considered a daunting task. After 1978 there was a boom in steel sector industries in Pakistan due to which investing in heavy manufacturing sectors got easier. Ishtiaq steel industry consists of more than 100 employees due to which it is not easy to manage the database of the employees without having a proper ERP software.
Before gluon ERP software the Ishtiaq Steel industry used single entry and double entry systems due to which the data gathered were not reliable. Data used to vanish and quality controls were not as effective as they should have been.
Let us discuss the reason Ishtiaq Industry chose Gluon ERP?
What was the reason behind choosing GLUON ERP software?
Ishtiaq steel has a workforce of over 100 employees due to which implementation of an enterprise resource planning software is a must. GLUON ERP provides all the necessary platforms to provide effective implementation of the quality controls in all departments. The best part about GLUON ERP is that it provides a collaborative tool for internal communication of employees. Before the ERP implementation, the Ishtiaq Steel industry was facing a lack of proper communication between its employees. While managing a team of employees, a manager has to go through planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.
GLUON ERP covers all the four domains of the management principles. Another reason behind going for the ERP system was that the data provided by the employees were not as reliable as it should have been. Due to this reason, the audit was not a hundred percent accurate and the company had to face a lot of issues. While dealing with so many companies in the local market logistics management is of high importance. Accounts manager needs to keep a proper check on the shipments coming in and going out, effective logistics management was one of the reasons why we needed an ERP software platform.
