better decision-making through real-time, centralized insights
Arabian Ocean Services ran its departments on disconnected systems, which slowed quotations, complicated inventory tracking and created duplicate work between HR and finance. SQIT implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central across 4 legal entities and 4 offices, connecting sales, inventory, HR and finance in one platform. Quotations are now prepared 50% faster, inventory turns 20% quicker, and leadership works from real-time data.
Arabian Ocean Services (AOS) serves the Marine and Oil & Gas industries across the GCC. With 4 legal entities, 4 offices and 150+ employees, AOS supplies diverse, high-demand products and services to clients in a highly competitive market.
In marine and oil & gas, the company that responds fastest often wins the contract. AOS’s growth had added entities, locations and people, but its internal departments were not connected. Sales, inventory, HR and finance each worked in their own silos, and information had to be passed between them by hand.
As the business scaled, those gaps became a direct drag on revenue and on how quickly management could see the true state of the business.
AOS’s disconnected setup created bottlenecks across four areas:
Together, these gaps meant teams spent more time chasing and re-entering data than acting on it, in an industry where speed decides outcomes.
SQIT implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, configured for AOS’s multi-entity, multi-location operations in the Marine and Oil & Gas industries.
Each module targeted a specific bottleneck, and together they gave AOS one connected system from first lead to final payroll.
Quotations now reach clients much faster, with a 50% reduction in preparation time, which improved AOS’s ability to win contracts. Optimized inventory management delivered a 20% improvement in inventory turnover, with better resource utilization and cost savings. Employee management became simpler, with 25% more streamlined HR processes and fewer errors. Centralized, real-time insights delivered a 60% improvement in decision-making, enabling better strategic decisions and better customer service.
By replacing disconnected processes with a single ERP, SQIT gave AOS the speed, visibility and control to compete in a demanding industry.
