Case Study: Sigma Paints achieves real-time stock visibility and on-time deliveries with SAP HANA

How Does Real-Time Stock Management Help a Paint and Coatings Leader Make On-Time Deliveries

Sigma Paints Saudi Arabia, a regional leader in architectural, protective and marine coatings with operations across seven countries, struggled to give customers reliable delivery dates and maintain accurate orders because of limited visibility into inventory and disconnected processes. Increased competition and rising demand made it essential to improve stock transparency, forecasting, and coordination between sales, service, and the regional warehouse.

By implementing SAP S/4HANA with the SAP Fiori UX, Sigma gained real-time stock visibility, mobile access for sales staff, and integrated analytics across finance, MRP and supply chain. The change enabled firm delivery promises, faster order fulfillment, a >20 percentage-point drop in inventory levels, targeted 30–40% reductions in days sales outstanding, improved profitability from clearer costing, lower working capital, and more empowered, efficient staff.
