A Successful Sohour for Mantrac Distribution’s Partners and Customers

26/05/2019

Over 500 of our partners celebrated the Holy month of Ramadan with Mantrac Distribution at JW Marriott, Cairo on 21stMay 2019.

Mantrac Distribution’s team greeted their partners and customers with great pleasure since meeting many of them in person rarely happens in a business as usual context, and thus, celebrating the Holy month of Ramadan with them is quite a kicker for taking this business cooperation to the next level.

The sohour included fire acrobats, a live musical Takht, tanwra show and photo sessions. The photo booth had oriental costumes for guests to wear for their photo shoots which many really enjoyed in single and group photos.

After the tanwra show, Mantrac Distribution announced a competition for all guests to win “Selfie El-Sohour” prize for the most liked photo, with or without the oriental costumes. The Sohour is covered on Mantrac Distribution’s Facebook page using #Mantrac_Distribution_Sohour19 and the photo album “Sohour 2019 #hapenning_now (Live)”.

Hossam Roshdy, General Manager, as well as the staff, deeply thanks Passant Ahmed, Strategic Planning and Marketing Communication Manager, and the Marketing Team, Mohamed Magdy and Youssef El-Rakkib, for putting up such a well-organized elegant event that our customers will remember as special and entertaining.

It was quite satisfying to see that our guests enjoyed their time and flash meetings in The Beach open area at JW Marriott, Cairo. It gave us great pleasure to host our business partners in such a light relaxing atmosphere and we hope they enjoyed it as much as we did!

Ramadan Kareem!

Mantrac Group: Eco Commerce Milestones

14/05/2019

Mantrac Distribution, formerly known as Mantrac ITD, has come a long way on the journey of Eco-Commerce transformation since its establishment in 1997. Preserving and improving the condition of natural capital has always been an integral part of Mantrac Distribution’s CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) model where decision-makers are continuously investing in eco-friendly solutions that integrate sustainable development practices as well as value creation.

The first milestone Mantrac Distribution successfully reached in its eco-commerce transformation was dropping its paper consumption for running business operations to minimum to help save trees. The adopted approach for this milestone was automating most of the business operations processes by deploying an ERP system that integrates all business modules needed to generate a full paperless documentation cycle. Not only did this drop paper consumption by 60%, it also saved time, labor, and expenses.

The second milestone set by Mantrac Distibution was to decrease dispatching fuel consumption to counterfeit air pollution. This was quite challenging because it required delivering orders door-to-door instead of having each customer commuting back and forth the premises and the warehouse. And so, Mantrac Distribution built a centralized warehouse with a dispatching center to deliver all orders door-to-door. This solution dropped commuting and fuel consumption by 40-50% for all their customers.

The latest eco-commerce transformation practice put into action by Mantrac Distribution is their big shout out to all their customers to overcome their need for printed invoices by switching to the new electronic invoices eco-service. Electronic invoices are legal VAT commercial invoices issued by the ERP system following the terms and regulations of Egypt Commercial Law. These e-invoices are submitted to customers by the Sales Admin. Team in a timely, simple, and secure manner. For more information on how to register for the electronic invoices eco-service, please go to https://www.mantrac-distribution.com/news/electronic-invoices.

This is a call from Mantrac Distribution to all companies in the commercial sector to be mindful of their everyday choices and to sponsor eco-friendly practices and solutions on ground and all around because each action will have a positive impact on the environment, the society, and sustainable development.

Mantrac Group Supplies major retail chain with IBM Power Systems solutions

31/03/2019

A Major Retail Chain builds its private cloud infrastructure on IBM Power Systems Solution to power its large-scale, mission-critical applications needed to transform data into a competitive advantage. Not only did it maximize efficiency, but also optimized their TCO on maximizing utilization of resources and acquiring IBM’s Capacity On-Demand (COD) Feature. Read on to find out how or check the attached infographic for a quick review.

One of the biggest food retail chains with a network of 48 outlets serving several governorates nationwide was seeking an IT infrastructure solution to:

  • Efficiently operate data intensive workloads across different branches.
  • Empower cross-platform analytics to maximize the bottom-line value of data.
  • Integrate cloud infrastructure to minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

The Chain identified IBM POWER9, designed for Cloud Deployments, as the ideal solution for transforming their bottom line by extracting business-changing insights with blazing performance, industry-recognized dependability, and solid security to deliver the following:

  • Blazing Performance and Better Response Times across branches

The IBM POWER9 processors integrate analytics and algorithms on the chip to help Power Systems servers run at an always-optimized dynamic frequency. This advantage reduces the response time of running the business applications operating more than 45 outlets nation-wide handling thousands of products and generating thousands of transactions on daily basis.

  • Empowered Cross-Platform Analytics of Data Intensive Applications

The IBM POWER9 is built on the advanced POWER9™ architecture which maximizes the throughput of cloud, mobile, cognitive and advanced analytics applications demand. This architecture introduces Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) Gen4—which doubles the bandwidth of PCIe Gen3. In addition, it can be ordered with up to 48 cores and up to 16 TB of memory.

  • Integration of Cloud Infrastructure

The IBM POWER9 is optimized to deliver large, demanding workloads in the cloud. It dynamically shares resources to increase system utilization which improves efficiency and helps ensure applications continue to get the resources they need. This is based on PowerVM virtualization which is the family of technologies, capabilities and offerings that deliver incomparable virtualization on IBM POWER® processor-based systems.

THAT’S NOT ALL!

By relying on IBM Power Solutions, The Chain earned invaluable benefits and ROIs that will impact its competitive edge and long-term success including:

  • Optimized Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

In the cloud, there are many variations to on-premises TCO factors because many services are provided by third parties. In addition, the cloud can cost more than on-premises resources in a traditional IT infrastructure. IBM POWER9 provides cloud capabilities such as automation and utilization which gives you a cloud-ready IT infrastructure that can reliably and securely deliver blazing performance while keeping TCO at optimum levels.

  • Maximized “Cloud” System Utilization (IBM Cloud PowerVC)

IBM Advanced Micro-Partitioning™ technology supports multiple virtual machines (VMs) for every processor core, 20 micro-partitions per processor; multiple shared processor pools; VIOS; shared dedicated capacity; and Live Partition Mobility (LPM). IBM Cloud PowerVC Manager provides fast and automated VM deployments, prebuilt image templates and self-service capabilities—all with an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

  • Capacity on Demand (CoD)

With this unique IBM feature, The Chain can respond more rapidly and seamlessly to changing business requirements and growth with Elastic Capacity on Demand (CoD) for processors and memory where they can activate processor cores or memory units for a number of days using the HMC to activate resources on a temporary basis.

  • First Failure Data Capture (FFDC)

Beyond additional reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features, the POWER9 processor and memory subsystem use the first failure data capture (FFDC) mechanism for fault detection and isolation. This FFDC mechanism incorporates advanced technology and design techniques for soft-error avoidance.

Mantrac is one of the first companies that contributed to the introduction of the latest technologies to Egypt, and was a major partner in most of the technological infrastructure projects in different sectors across the country.

“Once DELL Technologies acquired EMC, a leading company in the field of data storage and information security, two years ago in a historic deal, Mantrac Distribution has started its preparations for this partnership, which is a natural extension of the great success both companies have achieved in the Egyptian market over the past period,” Roshdy said.

Roshdy highlighted that Mantrac Distribution is keen on providing the latest technological products with the highest quality in the world to its customers in Egypt, which is preparing for an unprecedented technological breakthrough in the coming period to keep pace with the huge development of the projects dependent on technology and innovation, as well as increasing investment opportunities expected for the global companies in Egypt in various areas which inevitably need a technological infrastructure with reliable service guarantee and an agent with a big name and history such as Mantrac Distribution.

Mohamed Amin, DELL EMC’s Vice President in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa, expressed his happiness with the strategic partnership signed with a leading Egyptian company such as Mantrac Distribution, which has a long history of cooperation with DELL EMC as a major distributor, in addition of its considerable experience in the field of communications and information technology.

“We are fully aware that Mantrac Distribution plays a major and pivotal role in the Egyptian market, thanks to its expertise, excellent teamwork, and the great confidence of its clients in dealing with them. These are the factors that drove DELL EMC to cooperate with Mantrac Distribution to be one of the first companies that gains the latter company’s distribution and guarantee rights,” Amin said.

“DELL EMC’s partnership with Mantrac Distribution aims to benefit from the latter company’s ability to provide solutions to customers throughout Egypt for being one of the largest IT solution providers in the country,” Mohamed Tantawi, General Manager at DELL EMC Egypt.

Mantrac Group Wins Largest Supply Order From Avaya Egypt

01/12/2018

Mantrac Distribution has recently managed to take the largest supply order in the history of Avaya Egypt, which includes the supply of state-of-the-art sophisticated contact centers with various capacities in favor of the military entity in the New Capital City.

This comes as a result of what Mantrac Distribution has achieved with the military entity at the end of last year during which the company, in cooperation with BTC Networks Egypt and Avaya International, supplied contact centers to the largest project by the military entity. After the delivery, the idea of the new project was put forward and Mantrac Distribution has started to implement it and supply the necessary products.

The new achievement came after months of work and study by Mantrac Distribution’s team, which held ongoing workshops in which the project was studied from all aspects, especially in light of a fierce competition with local and international companies.

Mantrac Distribution has managed to win the deal thanks to the good negotiation skills and the spirit of teamwork among the company’s various departments such as sales and credit, which deserve all the thanks and appreciation for their great contribution to the success of the offer submitted by the company. The clearance and shipping department also negotiated with shipping companies to find the best shipping methods at the lowest possible cost.

In addition, a new thought was introduced to implement the project by insuring against non-payment risks through two insurance companies. The credit team held several negotiation sessions with the insurance companies to obtain the largest privileges for Mantrac Distribution.
