PT Black Diamond Resources Tbk Implements Operational Digitalization

BUSINESS MEMO – PT Black Diamond Resources Tbk (IDX: COAL), a public company in the coal mining sector, through its subsidiary PT Dayak Membangun Pratama (DMP) has operated its operational digital transformation or reached the Go-Live phase in implementing RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud in collaboration with SAP Indonesia and PT Trimitra Sistem Solusindo or TMS Consulting as implementation partners.

The RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Implementation Go-Live Ceremony was held on July 18, 2023, and was attended by BDR President Director Donny Janson Manua, all BDR Directors, Edward Manurung, Muhammad Noval Zindann, and Yogi Adrian, as well as DMP Director Jeffry Tong. The Go-Live was also attended by SAP Indonesia Industry Account Executive Lili Hartono, TMS Consulting COO Dery Hananto, and TMS Consulting Project Manager Susi Haryani.

Black Diamond Resources (BDR) optimistically responded to operational business challenges by adopting digital transformation in its mining operations, which had previously been manually executed and handled by individual managers and not yet integrated. The digital operational transformation, in collaboration with SAP through its implementation partner, TMS Consulting, was implemented as a sustainable business practice through accuracy, efficiency, and integrated documentation.

BDR chose SAP as its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system due to the need for integrated processes and reports from each division, allowing departments requiring data to access them in a visual format.

TMS Consulting Project Manager Susi Haryani explained that to achieve this, her team created a production planning module report that helps more efficiently record production units. Furthermore, the maintenance plan module KPI report eliminates manual input and can be directly retrieved from the KPI report. Furthermore, the controlling module's pit pricing solution automatically derives from cost center reports and production costs at each pit.

"So, the division of job descriptions, which previously overlapped, is now regulated by job roles in SAP, along with authorization," he said.

The collaboration between SAP, through TMS Consulting, and BDR began in December 2022, followed by a Kick-Off Ceremony in January 2023, and is on track to reach the Go-Live stage in July 2023.

The collaboration between PT Black Diamond Resources Tbk and TMS Consulting encompasses a blueprint workshop to examine transaction flows in the BDR. This includes user testing of the SAP implementation, from the blueprint phase to key users responsible for business processes. This includes SAP implementation testing for end users, with support from consultants. This includes master data and transaction enhancements in the pre-Go-Live market.

The company's President Director, Donny Janson Manua, expressed his appreciation to all parties who supported the ongoing collaboration through to the Go-Live phase.

"We hope that with this digital transformation, we can achieve our goals of optimal and maximal growth while contributing to building a positive business for both internal and all company stakeholders," he said.

Andreas Diantoro, President Director of SAP Indonesia, said, "By adopting cloud technology, BDR is improving the efficiency of its operational processes and preparing its business for the future. Our RISE with SAP solution will enable BDR to achieve seamless integration across divisions, providing departments with instant access to critical data. This will help BDR grow optimally, make positive contributions to the business, and enrich the lives of all stakeholders involved.

TMS Consulting was chosen as the implementation partner for this digital transformation because of its experience with mining sector customers and its mining package tailored to the operational needs of the mining sector.

TMS Consulting Chief Operating Officer, Dery Hananto, expressed, "Congratulations to BDR on this achievement. With this project's Go-Live, BDR's digital journey begins. Enjoy the journey, enjoy the transformation!"
