Company Profile
Founded in 1994 in Jinzhong, Shanxi, the renowned birthplace of the Shanxi merchant tradition, Shanxi Liang Long Coatings Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production, and sales. The company specializes in eco-friendly products including interior and exterior wall coatings, putty, and construction adhesives. Its product line now covers every city, county, and township across Shanxi, with a sales network radiating from its Shanxi base to reach Northeast, Northwest, and North China, as well as Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, and Tangshan.
Liang Long's management team needed to replace manual processes and delayed financial reporting with consistent workflows across its business units. MTC implemented SAP ERP to connect operational and financial data, automate defined processes and standardize reporting. The project shortened financial close from a delay of more than 20 days to three days and reduced operating costs by 2.1 percentage points.

Managing the company used to feel like driving a tractor. After the upgrade, it feels like driving a car — less noise, more speed. We have achieved the effect where one hundred people moving one step together outperforms one person taking one hundred steps alone.
