Brick And Mortar To A Digital Company

What started out as finding for a solution to solve its own operational challenges, ended up being a game changer for KAT Technologies Sdn Bhd. A go-to supply chain management, distribution specialist and best-in-class distribution solution provider in Malaysia, KAT Technologies was established in 1994 as a physical distributor of products.

It has since evolved over the years thanks to its ability to address and solve its own distribution challenges. Now, the company assists others with its distribution processes. The company offers best-in-class distribution solutions and services, which are not only efficient but cost-effective too.

Says Founder of KAT Technologies Sdn Bhd and Executive Chairman for the KAT Group of Companies, Datuk Ir. (Dr) Khairol Anuar Mohamad Tawi: “As a distributor, we understand really well the need to make sure every single piece of stock is accounted for in the system. That was the challenge for many. To manage this for ourselves, we have developed internally our own capability to understand and account for every single piece of stock at hand because they are so precious to us. You simply cannot afford to lose a single piece of stock.

“When we look at the market there was no such solution; we had to develop a platform for ourselves. Over a period of time, we developed this system and showcased this system to the market.”

Needless to say, this solution hit the mark and KAT Technologies quickly became inundated with accolades and praises and soon enough, the customers came knocking. And why not?
