Stock and the ledger finally agree

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. Global partner network for multi country groups. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Fast analytics on large datasets through the HANA edition. Consolidation across our companies takes days rather than weeks. Traceability from raw material to finished goods is complete.

What does not

The interface is dense and training is a real line item.

Go live was on time and under budget

Two years post go live and I would make the same decision. Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Fast analytics on large datasets through the HANA edition. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing. Consolidation across our companies takes days rather than weeks.

What does not

Configuration changes need the partner rather than an internal administrator.

What works

Global partner network for multi country groups. Multi warehouse transfers are visible and auditable. Landed cost calculations are accurate including duty and clearing.

What does not

Implementation cost more than the licence, as expected but still painful.

One system across four branches

Two years post go live and I would make the same decision. Financial controls and audit trail that satisfy group finance. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Rigorous data model that resists bad practice. Consolidation across our companies takes days rather than weeks. Stock on hand matches the physical count for the first time in years.

What does not

Implementation cost more than the licence, as expected but still painful.

Landed cost is finally accurate

The implementation partner was excellent, which I think matters more than the badge. Global partner network for multi country groups. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work.
