Building Products Manufacturer
In 2008, Nudo Products was acquired by a private equity firm. The new management team quickly realized they were held back by an old legacy system that did not meet the needs of a growing, diversified manufacturing company.
In early 2010 the team looked for a vendor-independent ERP expert and selected Ultra. Ultra documented the current state, educated the project team on ERP best practices and built a detailed future state map, all designed to speed up selection and implementation. Nudo went from documenting its processes to selecting a final vendor in 3 months, and evaluated, selected and implemented its new system in just 8 months.
Challenges
- Legacy system did not provide multi-site support or WIP control
- Users could not easily access the information they needed
- Production scheduling was not flexible enough to support growth
- Needed to move quickly despite a downturn in the construction industry
- Could not risk going live during the peak construction season
About the Company
Nudo Products is a custom manufacturer of wall, ceiling, mezzanine and decking paneling. It produces to stock and to specific customer orders from a single facility. Ultra and the Nudo team focused the project on improving productivity, supply chain performance, customer delivery and decision making.
“ERP is a daunting task at any time but Nudo recognizes the exponential risks associated with going live at the peak of the construction season (i.e. our busiest time of the year).”
