A Defining Moment for Product-Centric Enterprises

Enterprises in manufacturing, distribution, and product-driven industries are at a crossroads in the UAE and GCC. Rapid digital transformation, global competition, and evolving customer expectations require businesses to shift from traditional ERP systems to cloud-first, intelligent ERP platforms.

Governments across the region  - from the UAE’s Industry 4.0 initiatives to Saudi Vision 2030 -  are actively encouraging enterprises to adopt digital solutions that improve productivity, sustainability, and compliance.

For product-centric enterprises - manufacturers, distributors, and supply-chain-driven businesses - the stakes are even higher. Their success depends not only on operational excellence but also on their ability to deliver personalized products, faster time-to-market, and sustainable practices.

This is where Epicor Kinetic Cloud ERP, delivered by SCASYS (Epicor Authorized Partner in UAE & GCC), comes in.

Why Product-Centric Enterprises Need Cloud ERP

Unlike service-led companies, product-centric businesses face complex challenges that require advanced solutions: 

  • Complex Global Supply Chains – Managing suppliers, distributors, and logistics partners across multiple GCC countries.
  • Demand for Personalization – Customers in the region increasingly expect customized products, from consumer goods to luxury automobiles.
  • Regulatory Compliance – Enterprises must stay aligned with VAT, corporate tax, ESG regulations, and Arabic-localized systems.
  • Data Security & Residency – With UAE and KSA introducing stricter data residency laws, ERP systems must comply with local cybersecurity standards.
  • Sustainability Mandates – The UAE’s Net Zero 2050 initiative requires businesses to track carbon footprint and resource usage.

Cloud ERP, particularly Epicor Kinetic, addresses these challenges while positioning enterprises for future-ready growth
