November 29, 2017 was an important day in the calendar of all Qatar Quality Product (QQP) division staff members as they embarked on a vital journey with the transition to the ERP FORWARD system. In view of the mammoth transformation the division is undergoing, the QQP FORWARD implementation process comes with the slogan ‘Transform The Future Today!’

The ERP transition phase for QQP is unique as, for the first time in the history of Ali Bin Ali Group, all business transactions in the division have been shut down for a few days to facilitate the transformation process. The system will Go Live in the first week of December.

A gathering was organized at the head office to flag off the journey and the occasion was graced by the presence of the Vice-Chairman & EVP of Ali Bin Ali Group, Mr. Nabeel Ali Bin Ali. 

Also present at the event was the top management of Ali Bin Ali Group, including Chief Operating Officer – FMCG Mr. Nabil Mourad, Executive Sponsor for the FORWARD Project and Chief Operating Officer – ICT Mr. Mohamad A. Ebrik and General Manager of QQP Mr. Dany Aoun.

Expressing his support for the ERP project, Mr. Nabeel said: “We have embarked on a very critical and intense journey and once completed, FORWARD will transform the Group forever. We have to continue the trend of successful ERP implementation in each and every division. There is no looking back. I am proud of our achievements so far and am confident about successfully implementing the ERP system for the entire Ali Bin Ali Group”. 

Thanking Mr. Nabeel Ali Bin Ali for his continuous support for the project, both Mr. Mourad and Mr. Ebrik stressed the fact that there is no going back and everything has to be right. They also expressed confidence in the commitment of the staff and said the ‘ERP automation would take the organization into a new arena’.

Group Chief Financial Officer Mr. Iftekhar Ahmad took this opportunity to thank the Finance team for their efforts and highlighted how these efforts will benefit the ABA Group and its operations.

Shedding light on QQP’s transition plan, FORWARD Project Managers – ABA’s Youssef Farajallah Mahmoud and Intrasoft’s Amer Dakhqan – explained to the QQP staff the timeline and Go Live activities. The session drew to a close with the inauguration of the Go Live countdown calendar by Mr. Dany. He applauded the efforts of the QQP staff and revitalized them with his encouraging words.
