Case Study: Work Sharp improves ERP planning and integration with ElevatIQ

Work Sharp improves system communication by 50% with ElevatIQ

Work Sharp, a manufacturer and distributor of sharpening tools, faced significant challenges after a failed ERP implementation led by its OEM. The project, executed without input from operational users, resulted in severe customer service and supply chain planning issues, including inefficient processes that hampered scalability and required extensive duplicate data entry across multiple systems. ElevatIQ was engaged to address these critical failures.

ElevatIQ provided a comprehensive solution that included process re-engineering, architecture development, and data cleansing. The vendor developed new system integration flows and created proof of concepts for tools like Dell Boomi. As a result of ElevatIQ's work, system communication improved by 50%, inventory forecasting accuracy increased by 20%, and the company realized over $300K in potential savings with integration costs that were 80% below the industry average.
