Future-proofing growth through business transformation and adopting cloud-based ERP for a leading real estate enterprise

With over 60 subsidiaries, the business previously relied on a combination of disparate legacy ERP solutions and manual processes to support its business and reporting. These legacy systems and processes hindered their ability to work efficiently due to technical debt and lack of visibility into their data to inform fast business decisions.

The leaders of the business looked to embark on a company-wide, regional finance transformation initiative and, with that, deploy a new cloud-based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution to achieve the following objectives;  

• Streamline their finance processes.  
• Optimise ways of working and look towards maximum automation.
• Accommodate their growing size and business interests.

We conducted a comprehensive requirements study, allowing them to define future business and technology needs.  

With our help, they chose Oracle NetSuite as the replacement ERP for their business. Beyond being one of the leading cloud-based ERPs, Oracle NetSuite allows extensive customisation options to meet its unique needs and multi-entity reporting capabilities to support speed and real-time visibility.

We were responsible for the planning, design, and system implementation of Oracle NetSuite and trained over thirty users throughout a multi-phase roll-out involving sixty entities.  

For the first phase, the solution went live ahead of time in just four months across the three countries that they operated in. We further partnered with the company to successfully onboard all 60 subsidiaries onto a common technology platform.
