Systems that fit · Both

The new ERP made things worse.

The new system was meant to save time. Instead people keep shadow spreadsheets and type everything twice. We fit the system to the work and remove the duplicate entry.

What it looked like

  • Staff keep their old spreadsheets next to the new ERP.
  • Purchasing and stock figures differ between the ERP and reality.
  • The implementation partner has moved on.

02 · What we did, stage by stage

What we did, stage by stage

  1. Assess

    We list every workaround and duplicate entry and trace each to a design gap.

  2. Map

    We map how the work really runs against how the ERP was configured.

  3. Mature

    Fixed configuration choices, master data rules and SOPs for each role.

  4. Automate

    Integrations and workflow rules take out the remaining manual steps.

  5. Optimise

    We measure adoption and data quality monthly and fix what slips.

03 · The process

Inventory replenishment

Sales velocity sets the reorder point, suppliers quote, a buyer picks, and the PO goes out before the shelf is empty.

Questions

  • Should we replace the ERP?

    Usually not: Devvion finds that most failed go-lives are configuration and process problems, not the wrong product. We fix those first and only recommend a change if the evidence says so.

  • Do you work with our implementation partner?

    Yes, if you want: Devvion can work alongside them or on our own, and you own every change and integration we make.
