Case Study: a leading UK distributor transforms its ERP system for future growth with PMC

a leading UK distributor targets £20-30 million working capital reduction with PMC

PMC was engaged by a leading UK distributor facing significant operational challenges due to its outdated, 30-year-old custom-built ERP system. The legacy system, built on obsolete technology, was under-documented and difficult to maintain, posing a risk to business growth. PMC was tasked with providing an honest evaluation and a pragmatic strategy to future-proof the company's operations.

PMC's solution involved a comprehensive exploration and a future-ready transformation strategy centred on people, processes, and technology. This included market analysis, shortlisting ERP systems, and recommending a phased approach starting with a data lake. The outcomes included the selection of a new ERP system and the identification of substantial opportunities, including a potential £20-30 million reduction in working capital. PMC's guidance positioned the client for greater agility and market leadership.
