ERP System Pre-Implementation Process Enhancement Sets Manufacturer Up for Success

The Challenge

A private equity company acquired a manufacturer and distributor of connectors and custom cable assemblies and needed support in the identification of an ERP system. TriVista was engaged to identify the ERP requirements and define an optimized future-state system for the merged organization.

Our Approach

Over six weeks, TriVista conducted the following functional capabilities of the existing ERP systems:

• Mapped current-state processes across multiple locations of the company
• Evaluated the functional capabilities of the existing ERP systems
• Advised on recommended process streamlining and improvements to ensure the changeover opportunity is fully utilized
• Identified required migration activities and developed a migration road map, including planned migration benefits and risks

The Results

• Collaborated with the ERP integrator to define the optimal ERP system, and system-driven configurations needed to fulfill future-state process requirements
• Retained by the client to help the ERP system integrator move forward and ensure the future-state system meets the requirements of the combined organization
