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.

Solution

IrsikSoftware designed and implemented a comprehensive, cloud-based ERP system tailored to the client's complex operational requirements. Our solution featured:

• Unified Data Platform: Centralized database architecture ensuring single source of truth across all departments and locations
• Modular Architecture: Scalable microservices-based design allowing for phased implementation and future extensibility
• Advanced Analytics: Real-time dashboards and predictive analytics for inventory optimization, demand forecasting, and financial planning
• 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
• Compliance Engine: Automated regulatory reporting for multiple jurisdictions including SOX, GDPR, and local tax requirements

Implementation Approach

We executed a carefully planned phased rollout strategy:

1. Phase 1 - Discovery & Planning (3 months): Comprehensive business process mapping, stakeholder interviews, and requirements analysis across all departments
2. Phase 2 - Core Modules (6 months): Development and deployment of finance, inventory, and procurement modules at pilot locations
3. Phase 3 - Extended Functionality (5 months): Implementation of manufacturing, supply chain, and HR modules with full integration
4. Phase 4 - Rollout & Optimization (4 months): Global deployment, user training, legacy system migration, and performance optimization
