Dober Group
A family owned chemical business, manufacturer, and distributor of chemicals and cleaning products.
The Challenge
- The legacy system could not scale to meet the demands of the company.
- The company was growing and management needed to understand customer profitability.
- A number of years ago the company implemented a tier III accounting and manufacturing system.
- This legacy system had become inadequate. It was heavily modified, and the consulting firm that had made the modifications was out of business. There was no viable path to improve the existing system.
- The family-owned business was growing and looking at acquisitions.
- At the same time management believed they had a critical problem: some customers were unprofitable, but the information available provided no insight into the problem.
The Solution
The company hired Ultra Corporation to re-design critical business processes and to help management find the right ERP system that fit the company’s information needs.
In the process, family management gained a key advisor, developed a clear justification for the new system, and found the ERP system that fit the needs of the chemical manufacturing and distribution business.
Ultra helped insure that the new system was implemented successfully and attain the planned project return on investment.
