BANGALORE: Exporters in Tirupur's over $2-billion knitwear industry are set to share a common software platform on pay-as-you-go basis from February, as they seek to bring down operational costs and compete effectively with rivals from Bangladesh and China. Among India's industrial hubs, this is the first time that small exporters have joined hands to create a common technology platform.
After months of evaluating different ERP solutions from top global vendors including SAP and Microsoft, and forming a special purpose vehicle called G-Tech Solutions, the exporters have decided to go with home-grown business software from Ramco Systems. HCL will customise the solution and manage the data centre, which will host the application.
To avoid high software licensing and maintenance costs, the application is going to be delivered using the 'cloud computing' model, which allows users to access services related to HR, procurement and inventory by paying a monthly fee............................................................................
