Date Supply Factory Management & Operations System

The National Center for Palms and Dates is a central body for organising and developing the Saudi date sector. With multiple factories and a large supplier base, a number of operational challenges emerged, including:

• Organising date supply from a large number of clients

• Ensuring fair allocation of supply quotas aligned with production capacity

• Reducing congestion at receiving sites

• Raising the accuracy of inspection and weighing operations

• Unifying operational procedures across more than one factory

• Providing accurate reporting to support decision-making

TASK designed and built an integrated system for managing date supply that runs multiple factories on a unified platform, covering the full supply cycle from pre-planning through receipt-document issuance.

The system is powered by a smart allocation algorithm that distributes supply quotas fairly across clients, taking into account:

• The operational capacity of each factory

• Daily production capacity

• The number of suppliers and total demand

The system delivered a set of important operational results, including:

• Organised supply operations and higher operational efficiency

• Fair, systematic distribution of supply quotas

• Less congestion and delay at factories

• Full documentation across every stage of receiving

• Greater transparency between the entity and suppliers

• Better decision-making via accurate, up-to-date reports
