Ceylon Tobacco in vanguard of new BATLeaf system

The Ceylon Tobacco Company (CTC) has introduced the new BATLeaf system and, in doing so, has become the first end-market in the British American Tobacco Group to adopt it, according to a story in The Island.

BATLeaf is a system used to oversee on a daily basis operations relating to farming, such as the management of farmers, loans, materials and supplies, purchasing and payments, leaf inventories and packing materials.

The new system will reportedly enable CTC to operate at maximum efficiency by substantially reducing costs. “CTC prides itself in being an innovative company,” said CTC’s supply chain head, Shah Mansoor Khalil, in commenting on being the first end-market to introduce the system.

“We are always looking at ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our processes in order to provide maximum benefits to stakeholders.

“The new system offers user friendliness, modern technology enabling maximum reliability, improved performance, security and robustness.”
