Growing Beyond Boundaries: Elpitiya’s Digital Transformation with Tech One
In Sri Lanka’s ever-changing plantation sector, success depends on more than tradition—it requires agility, efficiency, and innovation. Elpitiya Plantations PLC, a leader with a diverse portfolio of tea, rubber, oil palm, and cinnamon, has long been committed to sustainability and growth. But as operations expanded, their legacy systems became a roadblock.
Our data was scattered, processes were heavily manual, and accessing real-time information across multiple estates was a challenge. It slowed down our ability to act quickly in a fast-moving market,
The Challenge: Complexity Holding Back Growth
Like many in the plantation industry, Elpitiya faced three pressing challenges:
- Fragmented Data: Information spread across different systems, making reporting and decision-making complex.
- Manual Transactions: Purchasing, inventory, and financial consolidation were slow and labor-intensive.
- Limited Accessibility: Management struggled to access real-time data while moving across estates and offices.
These inefficiencies drained valuable time and made it difficult to respond to changing demands.
The Turning Point: Choosing the Right Partner
Realizing incremental fixes wouldn’t be enough, Elpitiya decided on a bold step—a complete digital transformation. They needed a scalable, cloud-based platform and a partner who understood the plantation sector inside out.
That partner was Tech One Global Lanka.
“From the beginning, Tech One’s team showed that they understood our industry and our challenges. They weren’t just offering a system; they were offering a partnership for the future,” says Chathuraka.
After careful evaluation, Tech One recommended Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central—a powerful SaaS ERP solution designed to unify data, simplify processes, and enable secure, remote operations.
The Implementation: A Smooth Journey to the Cloud
Working hand in hand with Elpitiya’s teams, Tech One ensured that the transformation was structured, timely, and seamless:
- On-Time Go-Live: The system went live as scheduled with zero downtime.
- Centralized Data: Business Central unified all critical business information into one system.
- Simplified Workflows: From procurement to reporting, transactions became faster and easier.
- Cloud Empowerment: Managers gained the ability to access data anytime, anywhere.
The Results: A New Standard for Excellence
Since the implementation, Elpitiya has seen transformational results:
- Efficiency: Faster, more transparent business transactions.
- Visibility: Leadership can now make decisions with real-time insights.
- Flexibility: Remote management has enhanced resilience and continuity.
Looking Ahead: A Shared Vision for the Future
The successful go-live is just the beginning of Elpitiya’s digital transformation journey. With Tech One Global Lanka as a trusted partner, Elpitiya is poised to explore further innovations in automation, data analytics, and AI-powered decision-making.
As the plantation sector evolves, Elpitiya Plantations stands as an inspiring example of what’s possible when industry expertise meets cutting-edge technology.
This collaboration isn’t just a success story—it’s a roadmap for the entire sector. By embracing change and building strong partnerships, Elpitiya is setting new standards for a connected, efficient, and resilient plantation industry ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
