Building an Intelligent Enterprise on a Single Source of Truth Founded in 1974 with a vision of becoming a leading building materials distributor, Ebema SA began expanding across Chile in the 1980s, adding locations in Temuco and La Calera. It then consolidated in the 1990s, with locations in Concepcion and Santiago. Expanding into global markets, Ebema decided to embark on a journey of digital transformation to increase its competitive edge. Ebema identified the need to implement best practices, minimize technological complexity, and upgrade its systems to achieve total integration of its operations and improve the decision-making of its board and management. To do this, Ebema needed an intelligent ERP system that would provide it with a single source of truth.
