SAP Ag has announced that Saudi Arabia’s first private power plant and desalination station management firm, First National Operations and Maintenance Company (Nomac), is currently implementing the SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software business solution at its headquarters in Jeddah and in two newly built plants.

“Companywide integration is crucial in our industry, and with enhanced clarity and increased insight of the SAP ERP software, we will have the power needed to adapt quickly and cost effectively to changing business, market, and industry requirements,” said CB Gupta, business development manager for Nomac.

“The SAP business solution will enhance plant safety by allowing the integration of a range of activities, including health and safety, power and water production, and environmental monitoring from all Nomac-run facilities.  This will provide us with competitive advantage, and we can look toward the future and operate as a best-run business over the long term,” Gupta added.

The SAP ERP software includes a host of horizontal solutions, such as finance and human resources, as well as modules from the core ERP solution, such as quality management, sales and distribution, production and planning, materials management, and work clearance management.
