A food distributor's orders now reach the ERP before the office opens.
Orders arrived overnight by electronic data interchange from four retail depots. Two people spent each morning typing them into the ERP, and a delivery could not be planned until they had finished.
We connected the order feed to the ERP, and the ERP to the CRM. Orders now land in the ERP overnight, with any that fail a check held for one person to review. The two order-entry roles moved to customer service.
