ERP Selection & Implementation Case Studies

Radio Flyer
Radio Flyer looked to standardize global operations on a single, modern ERP platform to support business expansion and optimize strategic processes.
Specifically, the legacy AS-400 based ERP system limited the company in several key areas.

Because the company manufactures specialty products rather than commodities, it was looking for an ERP system built around the efficient processing and costing of a specialty product.
ICC operated on an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that was 15 to 20 years in age; at the time the company operated out of two locations.

Nudo ERP Story
In previous years the company was handicapped by an old legacy system that did not meet the needs of a growing diversified manufacturing company.

Knox Machine Company
Before working with Ultra’s team of independent ERP consultants, the company’s processes consisted of an awkward combination of a homegrown legacy software package, Excel for inventory control and reporting functions, and various manual processes for material planning and shop floor execution.
