Khadim Ceramics Ltd Transforms Multi-Plant Operations with Oracle NetSuite OneWorld

Overview

Khadim Ceramics Ltd. (KCL), a leading ceramic manufacturer in Bangladesh, operates across multiple plants and subsidiaries producing tiles, structural bricks, and industrial adhesives. Facing operational bottlenecks from fragmented legacy software, Excel spreadsheets, and isolated accounting systems, KCL engaged Omnilab Enterprise Solutions Ltd to implement Oracle NetSuite OneWorld as its unified enterprise cloud platform.

Why it matters

As operations grew in scale, KCL required end-to-end visibility across its entire manufacturing lifecycle—from raw clay testing and kiln output to multi-plant inventory, dealer distribution, and consolidated multi-entity financial reporting. Operating without unified data led to delayed financial close cycles, manual dealer commission calculations, and a lack of real-time inventory and shop-floor controls.

Key Implementation Pillars

Omnilab’s certified NetSuite team configured a comprehensive solution featuring specialized operational modules:

• Manufacturing & Multi-Plant Inventory Management: End-to-end control of Bills of Materials (BOM), Work Orders, multi-step routing, and real-time inventory visibility across raw material yards, WIP holding areas, finished goods, and bin management with integrated QC checkpoints.
• Dealer Sales & Commission Management: Automated volume-based discount tiers, dynamic commission accruals, and transparent dealer statements.
• Enterprise Fixed Asset Management (FAM): Centralized tracking and automated depreciation schedules for heavy plant machinery, kilns, and fleet equipment.
• Import & L/C Management: End-to-end tracking of Bank Letters of Credit and landed cost distribution for imported raw materials.
• Localized Tax & VAT Management: Automated regional tax authority compliance, input/output tax reconciliations, and automated withholding tax rules.

Results & Impact

Through its partnership with Omnilab, Khadim Ceramics Ltd has successfully unified three corporate entities under a single cloud environment:

• Unified Manufacturing & Operations: Complete operational mapping from laboratory formulations, raw clay intake, and kiln production to final customer delivery.
• Precision Financial & Inventory Accuracy: Direct linkage between plant-floor production activities, real-time stock levels, landed costs, and general ledgers.
• Enhanced Dealer Transparency: Error-free commission calculations, automated credit controls, and streamlined billing schedules.
• Future Readiness: Scalable architecture ready to support upcoming expansion into new product lines and markets.
