    Consumer Products: Strategic advisory for a global ERP transformation​

    Situation

    ​

    Our client is a leader in sustainable consumer products that operates in many different markets. Through their years of growth, a highly complex ERP landscape had evolved, with siloed and fragmented processes across teams and geographies. This made it difficult to get a single and consistent view of their inventory and supply chain data, which impacted the pace and accuracy of decision making. To achieve their objective of becoming a truly global company with a single central technology stack supported by coordinated operations, the client engaged Alysian’s experienced and professional team to provide strategic advisory on the best path forward.

    What We Did

    Alysian lead the development of a strategic roadmap that would harmonize business processes and technologies across 10 countries, enhancing efficiency. 

    1
    Transformation Strategy
    We defined a transformation strategy and business case that outlined the expected benefits, addressed potential challenges, detailed a change management plan that would ensure a smooth transition for employees and ensured that all stakeholders were aligned with the transformation goals.
    2
    ERP Platform Selection
    Leveraging our deep expertise in technology, as well as our vendor-agnostic approach, we performed a robust evaluation of ERP vendors to determine the best outcome for the client. In this case, Microsoft Dynamics 365 was selected to be embedded into our client’s global IT landscape.
    3
    Sourcing Approach
    e guided the client through partner selection and contract negotiations to secure favorable commercial terms and conditions to minimize risk and maximize the value of the partnership. This ensured that the implementation of the new ERP system would be cost-effective and aligned with the company's objectives.
    4
    Implementation Roadmap
    We developed a detailed implementation roadmap that outlined a phased approach to deploying Dynamics 365 across the organization. This roadmap considered the unique requirements of each country while ensuring alignment with the global template.
    5
    Program Team Mobilisation
    We established a robust program governance structure to oversee the implementation phase and mobilized a program team including 160 client team members to ensure alignment of the program with company goals and objectives.

    Our Results

    With support from Alysian’s experienced and collaborative team, the client was able to develop a winning transformation strategy. With the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP using this plan, our client is positioned harmonize business processes, gain a single view of its inventory and supply chain and benefit from enhanced decision-making and reporting capabilities, enabling the company to operate more efficiently on a global scale and respond effectively to market changes.

    We would not have achieved our go-live date goal without Alysian. Their ability to listen, pivot and execute sets them apart from other consulting firms I have worked with. They are consistently available and incredibly responsive and thoughtful.
    Having worked with other companies in the digital and business transformation space, Alysian is my preference. You really stand out from (and stand above!) any of your competitors in the field, the experience is just amazing.
    Alysian has done a heroic job meeting our timelines, helping us define our scope and requirements. The urgency is brilliant and the quality of the output is strong.
