The Challenge
Harwin had various software packages to support different business functions, including a legacy ASW400 ERP system that had been in place for over 15 years.
There was a lack of integration between these systems with numerous data silos.
Harwin recognised that the existing processes and systems would not enable the business to plan for, or achieve, its ambitious growth plans.
The decision was therefore taken to embark on a project to select and implement a modern ERP system, that would enable the business to:
- Streamline business processes to improve overall operational efficiency and effectiveness
- Meet increased customer demand without the need to increase workforce numbers
- Obtain accurate, real-time reporting information to plan effectively and make informed business decisions
- Implement Industry 4.0 principles to automate and obtain live data from manufacturing processes
