Business Challenges

The main hurdle is managing the base fibre and optimizing raw material handling for production. Introducing new products presents challenges that involve extensive market research and development. Moreover, making pattern changes to existing products is a complex process that needs careful planning and coordination.

On-demand production scheduling adds complexity, requiring efficient resource allocation and real-time management of customer demands. Raw materials planning and handling are crucial challenges that require effective inventory management and procurement strategies. For a holistic perspective, an integrated view of finance is necessary to streamline financial processes and gain insights into business performance.

And finally, careful planning and execution are required for data migration from legacy applications to modern systems to ensure data integrity and continuity, while manual intervention in various processes impacts efficiency, leading to potential errors and delays.

Implementing a standardised ERP solution gives organisations a precise and consistent comprehension of their business operations, wherever they are. Furthermore, such a solution reduces the expenses associated with support and maintenance and enables businesses to identify targeted measures to enhance operational efficiency throughout.

Our Solution

The implementation of EPICOR 10 with comprehensive modules for Cable Production has proven instrumental in addressing various business challenges through:

  • The structured implementation, compliant with statutory requirements, involved the use of Epicor std. Data Migration Tool and Templates effectively migrated data from the Legacy system to Epicor ERP.
