Overview

CoreSphere, a manufacturing company located in Germany, turned to us after recognizing our expertise in solving complex system-related challenges. Their existing platform was prone to errors, causing frequent delays and inefficiencies. The need for a robust, intuitive, and feature-rich solution became apparent.

In just 9 months, we successfully developed and implemented an all-encompassing solution, incorporating custom features to improve usability, safe data migration, extensive training, and thorough testing.

Results

The manual workflows previously burdened CoreSphere, consuming time that could have been devoted to higher-level strategic challenges. By integrating a new ERP system, CoreSphere achieved a 30% reduction in operational delays. The ERP system streamlined processes across key domains, including staffing, financial management, inventory control, maintenance, and procurement. Automation proved to be a pivotal factor in the company’s efficiency, allowing CoreSphere to prioritize critical issues with a renewed focus.

Furthermore, the advanced functionality for inventory management led to a 25% cost reduction. Eliminating the risks of overstocking and understocking, CoreSphere gained immediate insight into their inventory data, including product names, IDs, categories, and stock levels.

Additionally, CoreSphere sought to leverage real-time data visualization for finance and workforce management. We provided intuitive graphical interfaces integrated into the admin panel, enabling enhanced decision-making and strategic planning. This dynamic, data-driven approach directly contributed to the company’s improved productivity and more effective workforce management.

The implementation of this ERP solution marked a strategic investment in CoreSphere’s future. With refined operations, strengthened financial oversight, and elevated data access, the company is now set for sustained expansion. Limeup’s role in managing the technology has allowed CoreSphere to shift its focus toward long-term business development.
