Itransition built an ERP system that allowed the customer to reduce operational expenses twice and increase client satisfaction due to operations transparency.
Automotive ERP software is built with different functional modules. To help bring qualitative changes in business, we tailor the functionality of each particular ERP automotive solution to the requirements and desired capabilities of each company by implementing the following functional modules:
To ensure accessibility, reliability, and accuracy of information across the organization with no duplication of effort and manual data entry, we set up integrations between automotive ERP systems and other corporate systems via APIs, third-party solutions, custom code, or a middle layer. Among the most common integrations are:
To narrow down the options and create a shortlist of ERP providers, we consider the following high-level evaluation criteria:
Itransition provides advisory support and implementation assistance to automotive companies, helping ensure the success of their ERP implementation project:
Business analysis
Our consultants start with assessing your business processes and existing infrastructure to define the requirements and outline the functional scope of the ERP solution.
Design and tech selection
Based on the findings from the analysis step, our experts conceptualize the ERP solution, define the integration scope, and draw up the optimal technology stack.
Project planning
The next step is planning the ERP implementation by outlining project timeframes, key phases, deliverables, resources, change management, and budget.
Customization/ development
Using the scope defined earlier, the development team starts the customization or custom ERP development and then proceeds to ERP integration.
Quality assurance
We set up and run comprehensive QA processes to check the ERP system for malfunctions, UI/UX bugs, security flaws, and data quality issues.
Deployment and handover
We deploy ERP to the production environment and perform data migration to move corporate data to the ERP platform. Then we perform user training and onboarding.
Post-launch support
After the ERP software goes live, our team supports platform infrastructure and users and manages performance issues, troubleshoots bugs, and fine-tunes data flows if the need arises.
ERP enables the implementation of lean manufacturing and supply chains, reducing production costs. The ERP solution optimizes resources, removes costly operational redundancies, improves lead times, and reduces waste.
Automotive ERP system synchronizes inventory with production requirements and customer demand to avoid excess inventory or inventory stock-outs. It helps to eliminate high holding costs, manufacturing process disruptions, or customer resentment.
ERP database consolidates data across the departments, streamlining the information flow and its sharing within the company. It boosts collaboration, ensures secure data access, and facilitates analytics and reporting.
Enterprise resource planning automates data management for expense tracking, inventory control, payroll calculations, financial planning, and forecasting.
ERP enables complete traceability through the value chain and automates reporting. Simplified submission of reports to the relevant regulatory bodies facilitates compliance with government regulations and standards.
ERP grants access to real-time production and process monitoring data to provide a 360-degree view of the shop floor. It helps to identify occurring issues and resolve them in real-time to ensure high-quality standards and increase the safety and durability of the manufactured vehicles.
Even if employees seem excited about the upcoming changes, a new software interface, redefined business processes, new job roles and responsibilities can cause fear, resistance to change, and sabotaging. To mitigate change management risks, we carefully evaluate and address employees’ resistance to change before it becomes disruptive.
Even the best-of-breed software doesn’t necessarily have the capabilities you are looking for. We help define the missing capabilities and work out how to efficiently cover this gap most (e.g., via product customization, custom integrations, etc.).
ERP implementation implies some hidden costs that are hard to anticipate. To help you minimize project risks, we factor in such indirect expenses as the cost of work of professional ERP consultants, new hires for the IT department, or outsourcing a third-party vendor for regular maintenance, software updates, and security patching.
Consolidation of corporate-wide information in a unified data storage poses certain risks connected to data quality and data security. To balance data accessibility and safety without compromising data consistency and credibility, we set up and refine robust data governance and security policies and practices.
