AMS Group

The AMS Group is a leading Marine, Oil & Gas services provider headquartered on Upper Jurong Road, Singapore. It offers a full range of engineering services, including piping, steelworks, heat exchangers, afloat repair, the supply of spare parts, and consulting.

Serving the marine and offshore sector, AMS runs complex, project-driven operations across many moving parts, the kind of environment where fragmented systems quickly become a drag on productivity.

The AMS Group faced a wide range of complicated difficulties that significantly reduced its operational effectiveness. The single biggest problem was the sheer number of applications the business ran, which regularly resulted in errors, delays, and inaccurate inventory counts.

• Too many disconnected applications. The volume of separate systems caused errors and delays, and undermined the accuracy of inventory counts.
• Rising costs. These problems reduced production and dramatically raised staffing and operating expenditures.
• A clear need for Tier-2 ERP. AMS recognized the urgent need for a Tier-2 ERP with advanced capabilities, the most viable option for its complex operations.

Adopting Velaura's solution marked an important step change for the AMS Group in both operational effectiveness and adaptability. Velaura simplified daily operations by delivering an integrated suite that combines financial reporting, procurement, inventory management, and store operations into a single, simple system.

• One integrated system. Financial reporting, procurement, inventory, and store operations unified in a single platform.
• Competitive insight. Velaura gave AMS a thorough understanding of its competitive environment.
• Less complexity, better data. The integrated approach enhanced data accuracy and significantly reduced the complexity of managing disparate systems.

By consolidating onto one Tier-2 ERP, the AMS Group replaced a costly patchwork of applications with a single, adaptable system.

• One system for everything. Financials, projects, inventory, purchasing, stores, and CRM all integrated into a single platform.
• Lower costs. The operational inefficiencies that had driven up costly project staffing were addressed head-on.
• Low total cost of ownership. AMS gained the Tier-2 ERP capabilities it wanted at a low TCO.
• Self-service adaptability. AMS's internal administrator can self-customize, adding adjustments and incorporating new business processes easily and affordably.
