Global Distribution Company
A global manufacturer/distributor with distribution centers in Europe and sales offices in Canada, Japan and China.
The company had attempted to implement a new ERP solution, but the effort was stalled. They wanted to get back on track with its goal of implementing a better enterprise technology system.
Finally, company management engaged Ultra Consultants to conduct a “lessons learned” analysis and to guide a new ERP selection/implementation project.
The Challenge
- The ERP solution was no longer supported
- its proprietary database, containing non-relational data, was difficult to use.
- Time and resources were wasted, and potential ROI was lost when the company was unable to implement the right system ten years ago.
