Ramco partners with Malaysia’s MMC to digitally transform five ports

Chennai-based software solutions leader Ramco Systems has partnered with Malaysian utility and infrastructure major MMC Corporation Berhad (MMC) to transform five ports in Malaysia digitally.

Ramco Systems will provide the technology to implement the project. The five ports which are to be digitally transformed are Tanjung Bruas Port Sdn Bhd, Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas Sdn Bhd (PTP), Johor Port Berhad, Northport (Malaysia) Bhd, and Penang Port Sdn Bhd.

The group-wide transformation was awarded based on the successful implementation of the Ramco integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system at PTP, Ramco Systems said in a BSE statement.

MMC Group told the media that currently, the MMC ports have about 79 systems that do not provide a unified view of the data. This will be reduced to 13 systems post the implementation, MMC Group said.

Over 8,000 MMC employees across the ports will be plugged into the platform on their computers or mobile devices, eliminating duplication errors and other bottlenecks, allowing efficient business processes and enhanced data visibility.

The system will also include smart features such as artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), which will provide employees with greater insight as well as predictive alerts and chatbots, which can reduce human error and save time. This will lay the foundation for MMC’s broader strategy to enhance the business experience to customers and suppliers, says the press release.

Ramco Systems said the company has provided its solutions to some of the ports in the Middle East. According to Ramco, the MMC port order was the first comprehensive mandate for the company globally. The entire application and data will be housed in Malaysia, said the company.
