The challenge
Eleven legal entities ran on nine separate accounting systems in four currencies. Consolidation took a fortnight of spreadsheet work, and inventory was tracked separately again, so the group never knew its true stock position.
What we did
StrataERP Professional was rolled out entity by entity over fourteen weeks, starting with the two largest. Consolidation, FX revaluation and intercompany elimination run automatically, and inventory sits in the same data model as the ledger.
