Sweet solution shaves 50% off implementation time
1 min read
Pre-configuring much of the industry-specific functionality within its ERP solutions is enabling Lawson to reduce implementation times by up to 50%.
According to the company, its Lawson QuickStep, which was introduced 12 months ago, has also helped several manufacturers to minimise project costs and deliver faster time-to-value.
The firm says it bases its assertion on experience with Helly Hansen, Invicta, Koramsa, Lantmännen, Monkhill Confectionery, NetCacao, Polypeptide Laboratories AB, Rembrandt Suits, and WD Irwin & Sons.
“The Lawson QuickStep solution was chosen for three reasons, including a clear product development lifecycle, a low risk implementation approach and the fact that Lawson uses industry standard technology,” says Simon Barber, financial director for Monkhill Confectionery, a division of Cadbury Trebor Bassett.
“A business can take that pre-configured solution and slot it into its business, and it can work from day one. Having done several ERP implementations in the past 10 years, I believe Lawson’s has been more cost effective and faster than any of the previous implementations. The proof is in the pudding.”
Lawson has now introduced five industry-specific QuickStep offerings – for food and beverage producers, clothing manufacturers, distribution companies, hospitals and asset-centric process industry companies.
