How Saracakis went from economic headwinds to digital transformation
Saracakis

With a prominent presence in the Greek business ecosystem for over a century, the Saracakis Group of Companies has established itself as the exclusive distributor of a diverse range of automotive and machinery products from world-renowned brands. In the midst of the financial crisis that swept Greece in 2008, Saracakis faced a decline in sales.

In response, the company decided to embark on an IT upgrade in collaboration with Annata and Microsoft. The goal was to integrate its diverse operations, reduce costs, and restructure its systems architecture to navigate the economic downturn.

The implementation of our A365 solution initially focused on the import and distribution operation division, aiming to enhance communication and streamline processes with suppliers and vendors. However, after five months, the implementation was rescheduled to align with a new management decision at Saracakis to merge its import businesses into one cohesive unit.

A lot of our business units are very satisfied. They can do many analysis now, and we can help them in a lot of ways. Decision-making is easier and faster. We have managed to achieve a very big cost-saving with the implementation of this new solution. One of the savings is that the company has been able to reduce the IT team because IT maintenance is easier overall,
