During one of the most critical healthcare challenges in recent history, Hayat Biotech partnered with ERBrains to rapidly implement an enterprise resource planning solution supporting COVID-19 vaccine distribution across the GCC and Africa. Within just two months, the organization deployed a Microsoft-based ERP platform covering distribution and finance operations, enabling efficient inventory management, supply chain coordination, and large-scale vaccine distribution during the pandemic.
Hayat Biotech was established in 2021 as a joint venture between Sinopharm CNBG, one of the world’s leading research-driven pharmaceutical organizations, and G42, Abu Dhabi’s pioneering artificial intelligence and cloud computing company.
The organization was created to play a critical role in supporting vaccine availability and healthcare initiatives across the GCC and Africa. During the global COVID-19 crisis, Hayat Biotech became an important contributor to vaccine distribution efforts, helping governments and healthcare organizations respond to unprecedented public health demands.
• Urgent Operational Readiness: The COVID-19 pandemic created an immediate need to establish operational capabilities for large-scale vaccine distribution. • Mission-Critical Vaccine Distribution: The organization was required to support vaccine logistics, inventory management, supply chain coordination, and financial operations even before formal establishment. • Multi-Region Distribution Complexity: Coordinating vaccine availability across multiple regions required strong visibility into inventory levels, logistics activities, and operational performance. • Supply Chain & Inventory Visibility: Maintaining accurate oversight of vaccine inventory and distribution activities was essential to support uninterrupted healthcare initiatives. • Rapidly Evolving Financial Operations: Financial processes needed to scale quickly while maintaining accuracy, compliance, and operational control. • Compressed Implementation Timeline: Traditional ERP deployment timelines were not feasible, requiring a robust platform capable of supporting complex distribution operations within an extremely short timeframe.
• Comprehensive ERP Platform: Implemented an integrated ERP solution focused on distribution management and finance operations to support large-scale vaccine distribution. • Centralized Operational Control: Unified inventory management, logistics processes, financial operations, and supply chain activities within a single platform. • Enhanced Visibility & Efficiency: Enabled teams to manage critical business processes with greater visibility, accuracy, and operational efficiency. • Streamlined Distribution Workflows: Optimized vaccine distribution processes to support the movement of vaccines across multiple regions. • Integrated Financial Management: Connected financial processes with operational activities to provide accurate tracking, reporting, and governance capabilities. • Rapid & Scalable Deployment: Delivered the solution within just two months while ensuring scalability, reliability, and long-term operational readiness. • Foundation for Large-Scale Distribution: Established the operational infrastructure required to support mission-critical vaccine distribution during a period of exceptional global demand.
The solution delivered distribution management, inventory visibility, supply chain coordination, finance management, logistics tracking, operational reporting, centralized data management, financial controls, business process automation, and enterprise-wide operational visibility.
