The Challenge
A family-owned manufacturer in regional Victoria with $62M revenue had spent $400k on an ERP migration that stalled 18 months in. The implementation partner had overpromised on timelines and underestimated the complexity of integrating with existing shop-floor systems. Staff were running parallel processes in the old and new systems, creating data integrity issues and significant operational overhead.
Our Approach
Engaged under our Project Rescue framework. Conducted a 2-week rapid assessment to determine what was salvageable. Found that approximately 60% of the configuration work was sound but the data migration approach and integration layer needed to be rebuilt. Renegotiated the vendor contract, brought in a specialist integration partner, and established weekly governance with the CEO and CFO.
The Outcome
Rescued approximately $240k of the original investment. Completed the migration in 4 months from our engagement start. Annual operational savings of $180k through automated workflows that replaced manual processes. The finance team went from a 12-day month-end close to 5 days.
“We brought them in to rescue a stalled ERP migration. The previous consultants had burned through $400k with nothing to show for it. The team assessed what was salvageable, rebuilt the project plan, and got us live in four months.”
