Challenge
Our client, a global manufacturing corporation with operations across 15 countries, was struggling with fragmented legacy systems that hindered operational efficiency and real-time decision-making. Their existing infrastructure consisted of disparate systems for inventory management, financial reporting, supply chain operations, and human resources, leading to data silos and manual reconciliation processes.
The company needed a unified, scalable ERP solution that could integrate all business processes, provide real-time insights, and support their aggressive growth plans while maintaining compliance with international regulations.

- Integration Layer: Seamless connectivity with existing CRM, e-commerce platforms, and third-party logistics providers
- Mobile Accessibility: Native iOS and Android applications for warehouse management and field operations
