Indus Group of Companies Pakistan has undertaken a focused enterprise improvement initiative in collaboration with JBS to address internal operational challenges that were impacting business performance. The organization had been facing persistent issues stemming from heavy reliance on spreadsheets, delays in management reporting, and approval bottlenecks that slowed decision making across departments. These challenges, common in large and growing enterprises, were limiting visibility for leadership and placing pressure on governance and control functions. To address this, Indus Group partnered with JBS to conduct a structured assessment aimed at aligning Oracle EBS more closely with actual day to day operations, rather than allowing parallel manual processes to continue shaping outcomes.
As part of the engagement, teams from Indus Group and JBS mapped more than 20 core business processes spanning multiple functional areas. This detailed process mapping exercise was designed to create a clear and shared understanding of how work was being executed, where data was being generated, and how approvals were flowing through the organization. Through this analysis, more than 45 operational gaps were uncovered, highlighting misalignments between documented procedures and actual practices, as well as areas where Oracle EBS was not being fully leveraged. These gaps included dependencies on offline spreadsheets, delayed consolidation of information, and approval workflows that were not optimally configured within the system. Identifying these gaps provided a factual foundation for targeted improvements rather than assumptions based on isolated issues.
Building on these findings, Indus Group of Companies Pakistan and JBS developed an eight point roadmap focused on aligning Oracle EBS with operational realities. The roadmap was structured to address both process discipline and system configuration, ensuring that technology supports how teams work rather than forcing workarounds. Key objectives included enabling leadership to access accurate and timely data directly from the system, reducing manual interventions that often introduce errors, and streamlining approval flows to improve turnaround times. Another critical outcome of the roadmap was strengthening internal controls, helping the organization move toward audit ready processes supported by consistent system data rather than fragmented records maintained outside the ERP environment.
The collaboration reflects a broader shift among Pakistani enterprises toward more disciplined use of enterprise systems as organizations scale operations and face increasing regulatory and reporting demands. By investing in detailed process mapping and gap analysis, Indus Group of Companies Pakistan demonstrated an approach focused on long term stability and transparency rather than short term fixes. JBS contributed by translating operational insights into a structured roadmap that aligns Oracle EBS with business priorities, supporting faster decision making and improved governance. The initiative highlights how focused collaboration between enterprises and technology partners can address operational friction, improve confidence in data, and create a foundation for sustainable growth without disrupting ongoing business activities.
