“XCMG chose NetSuite to take control of our import and export business.” Jiansen Liu, Vice President, XCMG

Global Powerhouse Builds Capacity for More Efficient Expansion

A leader in manufacturing and R&D: In addition to manufacturing, XCMG operates research and development centers in Asia, Europe, the United States, and Brazil. Its teams specialise in ‘intelligent manufacturing,’ or the use of real-time data analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in the manufacturing process. XCMG sells its innovations in 191 countries and has 300 dealers, 22 subsidiaries, and 40 representative offices around the world.

Systems slow a subsidiary: One of XCMG’s most important subsidiaries is XCMG Import & Export Co., Ltd. The subsidiary previously ran on SAP like the rest of the organisation, but the system soon proved too rigid. For example, setting it up in new markets with varying currencies, tax laws, and compliance requirements took several months.

Saving time with a new ERP: XCMG moved to a two-tier ERP strategy this year, keeping its SAP system at headquarters and switching to NetSuite OneWorld for its Import & Export business. It rolled out phase one of the program in Indonesia, where NetSuite implementation took only four weeks. The Import & Export finance team now completes monthly reports for its Indonesian operation in half the time using NetSuite OneWorld’s multi-subsidiary, multi-currency, local tax, and local compliance capabilities.

Confidence to scale: XCMG Import & Export will implement NetSuite OneWorld in 14 additional countries over the next year. It also plans to explore opportunities in new markets, confident NetSuite OneWorld can be deployed quickly and make real-time insights available to XCMG’s head office.
