It has recently launched Digital@Fletchers programme to drive technology-led change and growth in the business. The company already has different ERP systems and a myriad of business processes in place.

Ramp-up of services

Daniel Beecham, Chief Information Officer, Fletcher Building, said, “As we continue to ramp up our e-commerce, digitisation, automation and data analytics functions, we need a stable and secure technology platform that can cater to our needs today—and support us into the future. Google Cloud’s powerful data and analytics capabilities and its co-innovation agenda with SAP, combined with TCS’ domain industry knowledge and cloud engineering expertise, made it the logical choice to underpin Digital@Fletchers.”
