ERP Transition and Labor Management Solution

“‘We had a desire to create a more data driven culture in the organization, however, after the rollout of Procore and the ERP conversion, trust was eroded as information was spread across different platforms and was sometimes difficult to access. The Aedo team worked to restore this trust, establishing a ‘single source of truth’ to validate data accuracy and streamline the access to information.”

 

The Client: A large Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing specialty contractor with offices across Canada. They are an industry leader in some of the most complex ICI projects across the country.

The Challenge

The company underwent an ERP transition project, shifting from a partially integrated Sage 300 system to a fully integrated Oracle NetSuite solution. This undertaking encompassed the consolidation of their Procore platform into a unified national environment and the transfer of data from the old instance to the new one. 

The Solution

Aedo played a pivotal role in assisting the company during its transition by assembling a team of specialists dedicated to providing support and expertise. Furthermore, Aedo collaborated closely with the company to create a tailored labor planning and management solution. This platform was designed to seamlessly integrate with essential software systems, including Procore, NetSuite, and the Refinery CDM. By acting as the central repository for labor plans, it facilitated efficient coordination and data exchange between these critical systems.
