Challenge
The client operated a Magento e-commerce platform for their front-end and an ERP from a little-known brand managed core business functions. Power BI enabled reporting and analysis.
Despite having a manufacturing unit, the clients’ processes were only partially automated. Their financial accounting system was outdated and lacked integration with other departments, leading to inefficiencies. Several key business processes remained manual and time-intensive.
To support their growth strategy, the client wanted a robust ERP system to enhance automation, efficiency, and business expansion. They also wanted the ERP to integrate with their Magento e-commerce platform. As part of streamlining their manufacturing processes, they aimed to implement RFID, barcoding, and shipping labels. Additionally, they required better tracking of sales targets, performance, and customer support through the ERP.
Given that multiple teams would be utilizing the system, the client needed a user-friendly, scalable, and robust ERP solution. They also wanted a long-term technology partner to develop a comprehensive technology roadmap, ensuring they stayed technologically advanced, maximized automation, and maintained operational efficiency.
