Shalimar Steel Re-rolling Mills: Driving Efficiency with Generix ERP
Client: Shalimar Steel Re-rolling Mills (SSRM)
Industry: Manufacturing – Steel Production
Technology: ERP – Smart Business Suite (SBS)
The Challenge
Shalimar Steel Re-rolling Mills (SSRM), one of Pakistan’s oldest and most diversified steel manufacturers, was struggling with outdated manual systems that limited efficiency and scalability. With operations spread across multiple production units, warehouses, and offices, SSRM lacked real-time data visibility and struggled with reconciliation across departments.
Their objectives were clear:
Replace manual processes with an integrated ERP system.
Ensure compliance with Pakistan’s accounting and regulatory requirements.
Support over 50 concurrent users across 15+ locations.
Deliver on time and within budget, without disrupting ongoing business.
The Solution
SSRM partnered with Generix Solutions to implement the Smart Business Suite (SBS ERP System). The project kicked off with a Solutions Study, where Generix worked closely with SSRM’s teams across sales, finance, procurement, manufacturing, taxation, and customer support.
The ERP solution was designed to:
Integrate all business units under a single, harmonized platform.
Support multiple branches, warehouses, and production units.
Manage the complete production life cycle, from procurement to finished goods.
Strengthen financial management, sales, purchasing, and reporting.
Implementation was phased, starting with infrastructure setup and data migration. Generix trained SSRM staff extensively and conducted dual runs with the old and new systems to ensure accuracy and minimize risk.
The Outcome
The new ERP system transformed SSRM’s operations:
Workload reduced significantly with faster job completion and smoother quality checks.
Error margins dropped thanks to automated alerts and validation at critical production stages.
Training became easier, as the system was intuitive and user-friendly.
Real-time insights gave management greater control and confidence in decision-making.
“
The system has delivered a superb reduction in workload. Even in complex areas like production, the alerts and checks make processes smoother and more reliable. We love the new system—it’s so user-friendly.
