National Agricultural Development Company (NADEC) is one of the largest agri-food companies in the Middle East and North Africa. Contributing to food security in Saudi Arabia, the company offers a wide range of dairy, juice, and food products, including fresh milk, laban, yogurt, cheese, butter, fruit juices, fruits, vegetables, and olive oil. It produces over 1.4 million liters of dairy and juice each day and serves more than 35,000 stores across the seven countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
As a leader in food manufacturing and the first agricultural company to list on the Saudi Arabia stock market, NADEC built its business on advanced technologies. When the time came to identify business process management improvement opportunities, NADEC sought expert help to deploy an advanced solution in the cloud. The goal was to enable all business users to contribute to business process excellence.
