With digital transformation sweeping all sectors, Arya Noble, a distinguished entity in Indonesia’s health and new ventures realm, recently embarked on its SAP journey.
Partnering with RISE with SAP, the company is tapping into cloud-based ERP to revolutionize its operations, optimize efficiency, and reshape healthcare experiences. This landmark venture doesn’t merely signify a dynamic shift in Arya Noble’s technological strategy but also denotes a significant stride towards realizing Indonesia’s nation-building objectives through its ‘Making Indonesia 4.0’ agenda.
Renowned for its flagship ERHA brand, Arya Noble has established a reputation for providing top-class clinical treatments. Its wide portfolio also encompasses other highly regarded brands like GENERO, Derma XP, and Marco. Arya Noble’s unique value comes from its full ownership of the complete process, from production and distribution to brand establishment. The company is also marking its commitment to cutting-edge skincare solutions by setting up Skinproof, the only local dermatology research lab in Indonesia. This lab concentrates on rigorous testing of a multitude of global skincare and makeup products to ensure their safety and efficacy.
While Arya Noble’s diverse portfolio spanning manufacturing to consumers has been beneficial, it also presented challenges. The complexity and vast scale of operations also necessitated a robust, agile, and scalable ERP system. However, the legacy system they utilized was not equipped to meet this demand, resulting in operational inefficiencies, poor data traceability, and siloed departments.
An SAP Journey Accelerating Digital Transformation
Yonathan Moniaga, Arya Noble’s Chief Innovation Officer, recollects the moment the company launched a comprehensive digital transformation initiative in 2022. This was intended to bolster its digital presence, improve customer engagement, and streamline internal operations, thereby paving the way for future growth and innovation. The critical decision to adopt RISE with SAP emerged from this initiative at the close of Q3 2023. Moniaga further explains how this move aims to foster predictive manufacturing, aligning perfectly with the Indonesian Government’s nation-building agenda through the ‘Making Indonesia 4.0’ roadmap.
The integration of numerous SAP solutions, including SAP Finance, SAP Controlling, SAP Material Management, and more, is targeted at promoting a more meticulous data exchange between Sales and Finance departments. The SAP journey is designed to improve reporting mechanisms and enhance the visibility of crucial data. Moniaga elucidates that the aim is to implement more efficient book closing procedures and enhance traceability, which will enable insights from downstream to upstream processes within the organization.
RISE with SAP: A Stride Towards Data-Driven Decisions
Moniaga talks about the importance of transitioning to RISE with SAP and how it supports the company’s diverse and expanding portfolio. He emphasizes that their strategy focuses on fostering sustainable growth through automation and data-driven decisions. He expresses optimism as they start to experience the potential of RISE with SAP and the promise it holds for delivering products that accurately meet customer needs.
Andreas Diantoro, SAP Indonesia Managing Director, speaks about the privilege of supporting household brands like Arya Noble in their digital transformation and expansion journey. Diantoro mentions how through RISE with SAP, Arya Noble has the power to make more informed strategic decisions. This promotes predictive manufacturing and information visibility across departments, contributing significantly to Arya Noble’s business growth. He also comments on the meaningful impact this digital transformation will have on the broader healthcare industry in Indonesia.
As Arya Noble steps forward in its SAP journey, it showcases the potential and benefits of integrating advanced technologies into traditional industries. It serves as an exemplar to the healthcare industry and beyond, of how digital transformation can streamline operations, enhance customer experience, and pave the way for future growth and development.
