Global ERP Implementation & Customization
Multi-National Manufacturing Group
A manufacturing group ran on incompatible local systems across 12 countries. Bricksense led a single ERP implementation covering 3,000+ employees and six business units.
The Challenge
Every country closed its books differently, held master data in its own format, and reported on its own timetable. Group consolidation took weeks and rarely reconciled the first time.
A single ERP had to respect genuine local legal and tax differences while enforcing one group process and chart of accounts — and go live country by country without stopping production.
Our Approach
Global template
A core configuration defining group processes, master data standards, and reporting, with a controlled path for local variations.
Data migration
Cleansing, deduplication, and mapping of master and transactional data per country, with reconciliation sign-off before each cutover.
Integration
Connections to shop-floor systems, banks, tax authorities, and logistics providers per country.
Phased rollout
Country-by-country go-lives with local key-user training, parallel runs, and hypercare.
The Solution
All 12 countries now run one ERP on a shared process and chart of accounts, with local legal requirements handled as controlled exceptions rather than separate systems.
Group reporting is a system function, not a monthly reconciliation project.
What We Delivered
- Global ERP template and governance model
- Per-country data migration with reconciliation sign-off
- Integrations to shop floor, banking, tax, and logistics
- Phased 12-country rollout with parallel runs and hypercare
- Key-user training and change-management programme
The Results
80% of core finance and supply-chain processes are now automated, and group reporting time fell 90% — from weeks to days — at 99.7% data accuracy.
The efficiency and inventory gains delivered a 340% first-year return on the programme investment.
Twelve countries, one system, no lost production. Month-end went from a three-week ordeal to a few days.
