Chelsea Logistics Charts an Innovative Path: Modernizing Infrastructure and Finance with Cloud-based Systems

Chelsea Logistics partnered with NTT DATA, a trusted global innovator, to modernize its financial systems by upgrading to SAP S/4HANA, an Enterprise Resource Planning software. This measure contributed to the significant reduction of the Group’s CAPEX and provided the scalability needed as the business grows.

After acquiring various shipping and logistics businesses, Chelsea Logistics saw the need to create digital synergy among its brands. It invested time and resources to streamline, standardize, and improve its subsidiaries’ business processes and operations.

Part of the digitalization was the decommissioning of Trans-Asia’s and SuperCat’s Legacy Systems which are outdated and quite slow in processing of financial data. With the Companies’ growth and increased transactions, the Legacy System was not capable of scaling up and responding to the changing demands of the business such as data analytics.

NTT DATA supported Chelsea Logistics’ move to S/4HANA on the Cloud, with Microsoft Azure as hyperscaler. The implementation of S/4HANA now unifies the Group’s financial data into one platform which provides ease in the consolidation process. It has allowed the Group to plan, execute, generate reports and analytics based on live data, resulting in better forecasting. SAP S/4HANA’s modern design, simple, and responsive interface has improved user experience. Regardless of the device being used, the Group can access real-time business insights and intelligence, anytime and anywhere.

Chelsea Logistics President & CEO Chryss Damuy said: “Technology is an indispensable part of our business model. We are grateful to NTT Data for making our digital transformation possible, taking customer experience and employee efficiency to the next level. We look forward to streamlining all processes of the holdings company, Chelsea Logistics, and its subsidiaries to eliminate redundancies and ensure optimal resource utilization.”

NTT DATA Philippines President & CEO Poch Reyes remarked: “We take pride in the trust Chelsea Logistics has given to NTT DATA. We are eager to see more organizations follow their lead and prepare for the workplace of tomorrow, one that is resilient, scalable, and empowered.”
