Case Study: a leading LED lighting manufacturer achieves automated intercompany operations and real-time inventory visibility with Logan Consulting and QAD

Industry Leading LED Manufacturer automates inter-company trade and planning with Logan Consulting in 2010

The client, an industry leading LED manufacturer, was acquired by a Fortune 100 company and faced significant operational challenges. It was relying on QuickBooks and offline spreadsheets, which created a high-overhead process for inter-company sales and provided no real materials planning, leading to inventory mistakes and high carrying costs. The company engaged Logan Consulting to implement a full-cycle ERP solution.

Logan Consulting implemented QAD SE 2010, automating the entire inter-company sales order to cash process using EDI and EMT. This eliminated manual overhead while maintaining necessary legal separation. Logan Consulting also deployed QAD's MRP system to automate materials planning. The results included full automation of inter-company trade, real-time global inventory visibility, and fully integrated financials with consolidations.
