Case Study: Mankind Pharma boosts agility and planning accuracy with IBM and SAP

Mankind Pharma uses information insight to create growth opportunities

Mankind Pharma, a top-five pharmaceutical company in India, faced a challenge with poor visibility across its extensive operations due to manual processes and a lack of system integration. This lack of agility hindered its ability to capitalize on the country's booming market growth. To overcome this, the company partnered with vendor IBM to implement a unified business management solution built on SAP ERP applications.

IBM implemented an integrated SAP solution supported by IBM Power Systems hardware, with the entire project and ongoing infrastructure management provided by IBM Global Business Services and IBM Global Technology Services. The results were transformative: Mankind Pharma improved planning accuracy by 40%, reduced the time to onboard new partners from one month to just one hour, cut inventory carrying days by 33%, and decreased procurement costs by 7-8%, significantly boosting agility and profitability.
