RIB Software SE (RIB) signs a Phase-II-contract (No. 25 / 2021) with a Gas Industry leader in Middle East & North Afrika (MENA)

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 17 May 2021. RIB Software SE, the world's leading provider of iTWO 5D BIM Big Data technology for the construction industry, today announced the conclusion of a leading, privately owned manufacturer, distributor and service provider of gases in the MENA region.

For over six decades, the customer has been manufacturing and supplying industrial, medical and specialty gases to a wide range of industries in the MENA region, through operations in over ten countries covering the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jordan, Egypt and Turkey. The customer has established a considerable pipeline distribution network, the largest merchant air separation production capacity and an extensive network of over 20 manufacturing facilities producing oxygen, nitrogen, acetylene, dry ice, food-grade, specialty and medical gases.

The agreement was executed through RIB's ERP division, Levtech Consulting, with the customer headquartered in Dubai. Levtech Consulting aims to digitally transform the customer's end-to-end business operations, from manufacturing and project activity, to supply chain and financials, and overlay the ERP backbone.

As the customer continues to expand its global footprint while reinforcing regional leadership, it is critical for the business to shift away from legacy, decentralized systems to a single, comprehensive platform which provides business visibility and supports decision-making. RIB engaged with the customer in a deep analysis of their business operations, analyzing fit and fulfilment to the proposed solution model. As the customer evaluated many tier-1 alternatives, they found RIB to be the most appropriate partner to help develop and deliver their digital transformation vision.

Anilesh Kumar, CEO, Levtech Consulting: "We are delighted to partner with an industry leader that continues to expand in terms of product and geographical presence. It is always complex yet exciting to work on a partnership that encompasses such a wide scope of automation that covers almost every aspect of a diverse operation, that too across multiple countries and over 30 legal entities. We are looking to deliver an operational decision-making platform - standardizing processes, streamlining data and driving change through this important engagement."
