Scope of Work

The client, Hanwha Vision, sought a meticulous review of the possible deployment of a cloud-based ERP system tailored for their retail operations. Their primary goal was to determine the system's capability in addressing existing challenges such as disjointed processes, sluggish inventory management, and ineffective data handling. The project aims to unearth insights on how a cloud ERP solution could ameliorate these issues, fostering seamless integration across crucial departments like finance, inventory, human resources, and sales. This review delves into investigating the specific needs of the client, the existing technological infrastructure, and the desired improvements in efficiency and efficacy that the client envisioned. It’s also about exploring the challenges presented by adopting new technology, including data migration, user adaptability, and ongoing system maintenance needs. Ultimately, the primary goal was to establish a roadmap for successful cloud ERP implementation by gauging existing system weaknesses and potential opportunities in the client’s retail framework.

Our Solution

The solution crafted by Crazi Co involved a holistic approach to assessing the feasibility of the cloud ERP platform. The project team employed a multi-stage analysis process, starting with a detailed audit of the existing systems and workflows in place at Hanwha Vision. This was followed by a gaps and needs analysis to identify areas that required enhancement. Subsequently, potential cloud ERP vendors were evaluated based on criteria such as adaptability, scalability, and cost efficiency. A pilot program was set up to mirror crucial retail processes and verify system functionality under real-world conditions. The architecture proposed incorporates seamless data flow across various modules like inventory, sales, HR, and customer management ensuring an integrated operations approach. An emphasis was placed on creating an intuitive user interface that would facilitate ease of use and quick adoption by the workforce. The solution distinctly highlights cloud ERP's capacity for real-time data analysis, improved decision-making support, and enhanced customer experience.
