The Lanka Walltiles Group of Companies plans on expanding using a transformation strategy that is both agile and responsive by using S/4HANA Cloud, the intelligent SAP cloud ERP solution for enterprises.
For more than 35 years, Lanka Walltiles PLC and Lanka Tiles PLC have dominated the Sri Lankan market as the country’s best-known ceramic and porcelain tile producers and exporters. Having been a part of the Group for almost a decade, Swisstek Ceylon PLC and Swisstek Aluminum Ltd. are also now recognized as leaders in their industries. These businesses primarily target the international markets of the US, the UK, the Middle East, the Maldives, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and Bangladesh.
This year, the Lanka Walltiles Group of Companies was honored to get the Great Place to Work certification. Since its inception, the Sri Lankan business has been dedicated to providing consumers with reliable and high-quality products. According to Mahendra Jayasekera, Managing Director at Lanka Walltiles Group of Companies, the Group’s long-standing success can be wholly credited to its employees, its vision for the way in which it cares about its workers, as well as the way in which it operates as a business.
Furthermore, Jayasekara said that the Group is automating business processes with streamlined, data-driven decision-making across employee and partner experience, customer-centricity, and profitability by capitalizing on cutting edge technology that will enable it to dive into unexplored growth opportunities. As such, the Lanka Walltiles Group of Companies has teamed up with SAP to undergo a transformation journey after realizing the importance of being agile in the face of ever-shifting market conditions and customer demands.
“As we modernize our business, we’re striving to bridge the gap between the supply and demand for quality tiles locally and ensure we meet consumer demands in a rapidly growing market.”
The intelligent enterprise resource planning (ERP) system SAP S/4HANA Cloud will enable the Lanka Walltiles Group of Companies to become an intelligent enterprise, able to achieve operational excellence and provide enhanced customer experiences. Additionally, the Group is looking to use the SAP cloud ERP software in order to digitally transform its business and become more agile, efficient, and responsive to customer needs.
