Success Story

Improving Global Competitive Position of Indian AgriGIC with Whizible

Integrated Resources and Timesheet management across a global project portfolio

About Indian AgriGIC

The Indian AgriGIC was one of the Global In-house Centers/ Global Capability Centers set up by a leading global agriculture equipment OEM company with factories, offices and other facilities in more than 30 countries.

The Indian AgriGIC competed with other captive global capability centres of the same parent OEM and hence achieving overall excellence was critical to their survival and success.

What were the challenges faced by Indian AgriGIC?

Innovation Pressure

Demand for innovation in the design and adoption of newer technologies in the AgriGIC’s business was growing – putting pressure on the captive unit.

Revenue and Profitability Targets

AgriGIC was being run as a P&L account, and being a relatively young company, had revenue and profitability pressures. They were also competing with other GIC units of the parent OEM in other countries to grab a share of their in-house business.

Competitive Bidding Deadlines

AgriGIC received their orders based on bidding where other GICs of the parent competed. Hence the operational excellence, ability to estimate and submit the bid with short response time and at the same time, maintaining profitability was imperative.

Suboptimal Resource Management

AgriGIC did not use a project and resource management software leading to suboptimal management of resources.

Complex Project Portfolio

Managing the operations team was becoming difficult as the number and complexity of the projects running at a time was increasing daily.
