The Story

The customer is the leading Thobe manufacturer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, established in 1985 with a state-of-the-art factory in Riyadh equipped with ETON flexible manufacturing systems for automated production.

As a pioneer in traditional Saudi garment manufacturing, the organization combines heritage craftsmanship with modern automation, delivering high-quality Thobes at scale while managing complex batch production, financial reporting, and ERP-driven manufacturing operations. .

Operating at this scale means managing: :

  • Automated production lines with ETON flexible manufacturing systems

  • Complex batch finalization and financial period closing processes

  • High-volume garment manufacturing with precision quality standards

  • Production and financial reporting across manufacturing operations

Challenge

When legacy ERP limits manufacturing and financial performance

Garment manufacturing at scale requires reliable batch management, accurate financial closing, and robust reporting. Yet the legacy ERP system could not support evolving business needs, creating bottlenecks in batch finalization, period closing, and production visibility.

What should have been efficient became a constraint on operational and financial performance.

Key pain points

  • Legacy ERP system unable to meet evolving manufacturing requirements
  • Cumbersome batch finalization and financial period closing processes
  • Inadequate production and financial reporting capabilities
  • Need for customized processes aligned to Thobe manufacturing specifics

Transformation

Modernizing garment manufacturing with upgraded ERP and custom solutions

Infor LN was upgraded through a retrofit customization approach, preserving existing investments while delivering new functionality, with Coserve as the implementation partner. .

Together, we delivered a modernized manufacturing platform that:

  • Upgraded ERP LN version with full customization retrofitting

  • Delivered technical and functional improvements across manufacturing workflows

  • Developed a complete new suite of production and financial reports

  • Built customized processes aligned to their specific operational needs

Legacy constraints stopped limiting operations. Modern ERP became a manufacturing enabler..

Business Outcomes

From legacy limitations to manufacturing confidence

Impact felt across production, finance, and operations teams. Batch finalization streamlined. Financial period closing accelerated. Production visibility improved through tailored reporting. Custom processes aligned ERP to it's unique Thobe manufacturing requirements.

  • Smooth batch finalization and financial period closing

  • Comprehensive production and financial reporting suitesilos

  • Modernized ERP aligned to automated manufacturing operations

  • Reduced dependency on legacy workarounds through custom process design

The result: a platform built not just for today but for Saudi garment manufacturing excellence.
