Currie & Warner Upgrade to Bespoke ERP System

Many industries have experienced dramatic change in the past few decades with the emergence of digital technology, but manufacturing is leading the way, as the industry handles adaption and adoption like no other.

Factories across the world are being digitalised, filled with computers and 3D printers, making them quicker, more flexible and more efficient. The use of robotics are becoming ever prevalent in the modern world, as they shoulder the burden of physically demanding or repetitive tasks, producing more accurate work with increased efficiency rates.

Once a movement like this gathers pace, the industry has to adjust quickly, because if a manufacturer chooses not to follow the path automation offers, then ultimately the products they produce are going to be more expensive.

Currie & Warner Ltd are no different, and are eager to embrace the this new era of technology. Upgrading our current systems to the next-gen Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is something that we have thought long and hard about for the past few years.

New ERP systems can deliver powerful capabilities, especially in the way of sourcing data. But what value will this additional data add? How can we optimise the data generated? These are just some of the questions we have to consider when deciding if an ERP system is right for us.

For many years now, Currie & Warner Ltd have been using a bespoke, robust system that has allowed the company to sustain its ability within the market industry. Switching to a readymade, off the shelf ERP system would simply not work with the intricacies of our set-up, so shortlisting a few companies that could satisfy our needs was essential. All key applications, and daily processes are to be affected by the new ERP platform so it was essential the team invested the appropriate time and effort into the research.
