With SAP S/4HANA Greenfield, Best Agrolife Ltd (BAL) is empowered to harness advanced analytics, machine learning, and automation capabilities, thereby bolstering decision-making and fostering innovation across the organization. By consolidating finance, supply chain, manufacturing, and sales functions onto a unified platform, the company gains unprecedented visibility and control over its entire value chain.

By embracing state-of-the-art technology, we are poised to revolutionize our operations, accelerate growth, and deliver greater value to our customers and stakeholders."

The successful implementation was facilitated by the invaluable partnership of Samishti Infotech. As a trusted advisor, Samishti Infotech played a crucial role in ensuring a seamless integration process and smoothing the transition of SAP S/4HANA Greenfield into the company’s systems.

Mr. N Surendra Sai, Head of Strategy and International Business at BAL, spearheaded the implementation of this project. With three decades of experience encompassing Organizational Program Management, Business Analytics, Innovation, Startup Culture, and Technology, Mr. Sai has held leadership roles in both private and government sectors, including esteemed organizations such as Wipro Technologies and DRDO.
