PT Riau Baraharum integrates and harmonizes business processes in one platform

October 2009, Jakarta- PT. Riau Baraharum (RBH) centralizes and consolidates business processes and data from individual software solution and semi-manual run operations with DataOn’s SunFish ERP and HR business application suite. The decision for an integrated and automated software package will decrease the complexity of gathering the relevant data from multiple sources as well as the costs for operating in a disintegrated technological landscape significantly.

PT. Riau Baraharum (RBH) is a private coal mining company based in the Indonesia island of Sumatra. It was established in 1990 and the initial exploration activities commenced in 1992 after the preliminary survey license was granted (there are approximately 50,000 meters of total depth of drill data with full geophysical logging and coal sampling analysis). In 1994, RBH signed a Coal Contract of Work with the Indonesian Central Government to become a Second Generation Coal Contractor, giving them access to a coal mining concession area of 24450 ha. In 2005 RHB obtained an exploitation license in 2005 that expires in 2035.

The implementation will provide RHB with several benefits, among them are:
- Optimization of department spanning business processes, such as procurement, sales, delivery,
- Data standardization in order to eliminate redundancies and discrepancies of data,
- Better and more comprehensive overview of all company and business related date,
- Better adherence to reporting regulations,
- Real-time access to all information along the supply chain in order to improve cooperation with
  suppliers, customers and partners,
- Empowering the company with the necessary flexibility to react quickly to changing requirements
  of partners, market environments, and customers.

All in all, the SunFish HR and ERP business solution will support efficiency improvements within the management of the RHB’s business units and supply chain, allow higher employee productivity, and optimize financial insight for the benefit of increased profitability and shareholder value. The combination of integrated and automated business processes with real-time and informed decision making will bring RHB’s managers and supervisors closer to successfully aligning strategic planning and operational execution.
