Enterprise AI Operations Layer for a Saudi Industrial Conglomerate

Enterprise AI operations layer for a Saudi industrial conglomerate

Background

A large Saudi industrial conglomerate with operations across four factories was managing procurement, inventory, and finance coordination manually. Despite having a fully deployed ERP, acting on its data required significant human effort across departments.

Challenge

Build an intelligence layer above their existing ERP that automates procurement decisions, surfaces inventory risks in real time, and reduces cross-department manual coordination - without replacing the ERP or compromising data sovereignty requirements.

Solution

An AI agent framework was integrated directly into their existing ERP across all four sites. Staff can issue procurement commands and queries in natural language, with the AI executing the corresponding ERP actions - generating purchase orders, comparing supplier quotes, triggering inter-site stock transfers, and raising predictive supply chain alerts. Fully hosted within the client's own infrastructure with complete audit logging for compliance.
