Temple gets SAP ERP implemented

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Patni Computer Systems today announced that it has completed India’s first ever SAP ERP implementation for a temple trust.

Shri Sant Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan, the second largest pilgrimage in Western India, implemented the SAP ERP solution to streamline its various functions including automation of the trust’s donation collection, accounting and inventory management processes.

The trust has a daily footfall of 3,000 devotees, a network of nine branches and over 20,000 daily transactions.

The implementation has vastly improved the trust’s ability to monitor the day-to-day operations as well as forecast the availability of finances required for sustaining its activities.

“Given the magnitude of our operations, it was important for us to automate our functioning. The combination of SAP’s ERP software and Patni’s expertise in enterprise applications services and its speed-to-value approach towards ERP implementation has helped us meet our unique requirements,” said SS Patil, chairman, Shri Sant Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan.

“Given the unique nature of the temple trust, the project provided the Patni team with challenging opportunities like configuring the ERP solution to meet their unique business needs and implementing a change management program to ensure smooth transition from manual operations to a stable ERP environment,” stated Vivekanand Sangle, senior manager, Patni.
