Technology Assessment and ERP Selection for $350M Manufacturer

I’m excited to share the successful completion of a technology assessment and ERP selection for a $350M chemical manufacturer based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Selecting an ERP is never just about choosing software. It’s about creating a technology foundation that enables a business to operate differently for the next decade.

Over the past several months, we evaluated the company’s entire business application landscape—not just ERP. Together, we assessed how technology supports every major function across the organization, including:

• Finance
• Operations & Manufacturing
• Inventory & Warehouse Management
• Transportation & Logistics
• Quality
• Sales
• Customer Service
• Analytics and Reporting

The outcome wasn’t simply selecting a new ERP. It was designing a future-state technology architecture that will:

✔ Modernize the technology stack
✔ Eliminate approximately 20 disparate applications and dozens of spreadsheets into a streamlined platform
✔ Reduce annual software licensing costs
✔ Simplify integrations and data management
✔ Improve visibility to key metrics and information
✔ Increase operational efficiency across every department
✔ Position the company for continued growth and scalability

The largest impact won’t be measured by the software itself—it will be measured by the operational improvements it enables. The organization expects the new platform and supporting technology stack to deliver millions of dollars in annual efficiency gains through improved workflow, automation, and better decision-making.

Projects like this are a reminder that successful digital transformation begins with business strategy—not simply one piece of technology.

Congratulations to the leadership team and cross-functional evaluation team for their engagement and commitment.
