Hela Apparel Holdings rolls out enterprise application to deliver enhanced business value

As part of its drive towards digitalisation for enhanced productivity, efficiency and sustainability, Hela Apparel Holdings completed the first phase of its global implementation of SAP S/4HANA®, an enterprise application suite developed by SAP, on 4th October 2022. With this, Hela becomes the first company to implement SAP S/4HANA® for fashion and vertical business in Sri Lanka.

  The implementation of the SAP S/4HANA® platform is the centrepiece of these efforts and in 2021 the company partnered with attune – a Rizing company, and leading SAP solutions provider for fashion and lifestyle industries, to support this process.

Sanath Amaratunga, CEO of Hela Kidswear said: “We expect our digital transformation journey to help us be more data-driven and agile, placing us in a stronger position to navigate the challenges ahead while strengthening our value proposition. The implementation of SAP S/4HANA® at Hela Kidswear offers greater opportunities for continuous innovation and cloud readiness.”

  Ruwanthi Fernando, Chief Information & Process Officer for Hela said: “We look forward to rolling out these solutions to the rest of the company in the coming months. This will allow us to facilitate greater innovation and help us meet the rapidly evolving market conditions and global supply chain disruptions that require real-time decision making.”
