How Arabian Minerals & Chemicals Transformed Its Warehouse Operations with SmartX HUB

A leading Saudi industrial supplier unified its entire logistics lifecycle — from receiving to dispatch — on one warehouse execution platform, with Zebra hardware, deep ERP integration and an RFID-ready architecture.

Saudi Arabia Minerals & Chemicals ERP-integrated WES
Introduction

The customer: AMC

Arabian Minerals & Chemicals Co. Ltd. (AMC) is a leading provider of minerals, chemicals and industrial solutions in Saudi Arabia. With the opening of its new Service Division in June 2019, AMC expanded into end-to-end solutions for all its product lines.

To support this growth, AMC needed a robust, integrated warehouse management system that could handle the full logistics lifecycle — from material receiving to dispatch — while maintaining complete traceability and seamless ERP synchronization. SmartX HUB delivered exactly that, built on supply chain automation and delivered in partnership with Zultec.

The Challenge

Complex flows, disconnected processes

AMC's expanding operations demanded a logistics solution capable of managing increasingly complex material flows. The company needed to integrate receiving, storage, production picking, quality-control movements and dispatch into a single, cohesive platform. Manual or disconnected processes created risks of inventory errors, delayed production, misrouted materials and lack of traceability — all while requiring deep integration with the corporate ERP to keep data consistent.

Disconnected steps

Receiving, storage, picking, QC and dispatch lived in separate processes.

Inventory errors

Manual handling risked errors, delays and misrouted materials.

No traceability

The supply chain lacked end-to-end traceability across steps.

ERP consistency

Data had to stay consistent with the corporate ERP, without duplication.

The Solution

A full warehouse execution platform

SmartX HUB was deployed as the central warehouse execution platform, covering every step of the logistics process with Zebra hardware and deep ERP integration — a single flow from the loading dock to shipment.

Receiving Label Printing Put Away Picking Quality Control Dispatch

Material Receiving

Automated inbound processing with validation against purchase orders and instant registration on arrival.

Label Printing

On-demand barcode labels via Zebra printers, so every item is traceable from entry.

Put Away

System-directed storage assignments that optimize space and place materials correctly.

Picking for Production

Automated pick lists from production orders, getting the right materials to the floor on time.

Quality Control Movement

Dedicated workflows routing materials to inspection, with release/hold status tracking.

Dispatch

Outbound processing with verification, documentation and shipping confirmation.

Bidirectional ERP APIs

Dozens of APIs sync orders and items in real time; traceability lives in SmartX HUB.

RFID-Ready Architecture

Designed for future RFID migration — upgrade without rebuilding the platform.

More than asset tracking

This is a full warehouse execution system, not just tracking. The business process stays in the ERP while every traceability record lives in SmartX HUB — connected by dozens of two-way APIs. And because the architecture is RFID-ready, AMC can step up to automated identification whenever it chooses, with no rebuild.
