The Challenge
Each branch maintained its own chart of accounts in spreadsheets. Head-office reporting took nine working days to compile and figures regularly disagreed between branches. Inventory was unknown in real time.
Our Solution
We implemented a single ERP instance with a unified chart of accounts, branch-level dimensions on every transaction, and inter-branch eliminations configured up front rather than patched later.
What We Implemented
<ul><li>Discovery workshops across all five branches</li><li>Chart of accounts redesign agreed with head-office finance</li><li>Historical data cleaned and migrated for two years of transactions</li><li>Branch-by-branch cutover over four weekends</li><li>Role-based training for finance and branch managers</li></ul>
The Result
Management reporting moved from nine days to same-day. Head-office gained live visibility of stock across branches, and month-end close no longer depends on spreadsheets arriving by email.
Key Highlights
- Five branches on one ERP instance
- Unified chart of accounts
- Live consolidated reporting
