·         Increased productivity by standardizing and automating finance, HR, and supply chain processes with a fully integrated Oracle Cloud solution—saving administrative time across all business support functions, improving communication across subsidiaries and lines of business, and significantly reducing paper use

·         Improved strategic decision making by helping executives make informed judgments with real-time financial data—for example, whether to invest in the group’s existing companies or in new ventures

·         Delivered full control on financial transactions and total visibility at group level into each company’s sales and cash flows by integrating Oracle ERP Cloud with third-party back-end and front-end sales systems—critical considering that 95% of all Salahaddin’s transactions are cash-based due to banking limitations in the aftermath of the Iraq War

·         Enabled Salahaddin to measure the cost effectiveness of finished goods and the performance of suppliers by standardizing costing based on first-in, first-out (FIFO) accounting with detailed online verification of cost layers—previously, costing was managed on spreadsheets with no means to include landed costs

·         Ensured optimum inventory levels across warehouses fed by six manufacturing subsidiaries—for example, by providing visibility on stock by location, unit of measure, quantity, and expiry date for the group’s soft drinks bottling operations—using Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud

·         Gained the ability to instantly generate financial statements based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as well as various reports—for example, concerning headcount, payroll, aging receivables, or revenue per subsidiary—which previously took up to a month to prepare using spreadsheets

·         Streamlined procurement processes with Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud using dynamic, online approval rules to replace paper-based approvals that took up to a week—enabling full control and visibility into all purchases

·         Standardized chart of accounts across all subsidiaries and automated accounting processes to simplify group financial consolidation, increase visibility, reduce financial closing time, and streamline internal and annual external audits

·         Provided HR and senior managers with 24/7 insight into Salahaddin’s workforce with Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud to eliminate overstaffing by determining the exact headcount, qualification levels, and employment costs in each business entity

·         Boosted employee morale and productivity by enabling all workers from each company to manage leave and review salary slips from their mobile devices instead of needing to go through HR or line managers using lengthy, paper-based processes.
