Introduction
The customer: ARASCO
ARASCO ranks among the top 100 companies in Saudi Arabia and is one of the major national food companies in the GCC region. Its operations span food production, animal feed and agricultural services, supported by a vast portfolio of high-value assets — including sophisticated laboratory equipment that is critical to product quality and regulatory compliance.
To gain full control over this asset base, ARASCO partnered with SmartX Technology to deploy the SmartX HUB platform for comprehensive asset inventory management, delivered through a partnership with Zultec.
The Challenge
Thousands of assets, no single source of truth
ARASCO's operations depend on thousands of assets distributed across multiple facilities, including high-value laboratory equipment essential for quality assurance, research and compliance testing. Without a centralized, automated system, the company struggled to maintain accurate records, track asset conditions, and stay audit-ready.
Manual inventory processes were time-consuming and error-prone, making a reliable Fixed Asset Register (FAR) hard to maintain. High-value laboratory assets demanded particular attention given their critical role and capital value. On top of that, ARASCO needed seamless integration with its corporate ERP so financial records and physical asset data would always stay in sync.
Manual & error-prone
Paper-based counts made an accurate asset register hard to sustain.
Assets across sites
Thousands of items spread over multiple facilities with limited visibility.
Critical lab equipment
High-value assets vital to quality and compliance needed special care.
ERP out of sync
Financial and physical asset data needed to stay reconciled.
