Global manufacturing supplier - SAP transition

The challenge

Global packing growth has been exceptional over the last few years. There has been a huge amount of competition entering the market however. The global manufacturing supplier that Centiq worked with had been through considerable growth. The growth was both organic and inorganic, especially with a new venture in the takeover.

The solution

With a new business to integrate, the global manufacturing supplier had to increase the core platform and process flexibility. They wanted to integrate all platforms as quickly as possible. Naturally, this needed to be completed at the lowest cost possible, whilst still enabling the running of day-to-day activities and new product launches. The customer needed to be impacted as little as possible.
