WHO IS GOOD FABS
3. Production, financial
reporting and supply chain
data existed in different systems. The resulting
poor data integrity,
time-consuming data entry and inaccurate information compromised
decision making.
GOODFABS’ CHALLENGE AND OUR SOLUTION
We delivered a web-based system that draws together accurate, real-time data (sales, product, pricing, production, customer, and financial) and features a new user experience. The system is accessible round the clock, securely and remotely.
5. First, we set to understand Goodfabs’ business model, processes, people, customers and systems, through a number of internal workshops and interviews. With the database design locked down, we focused on the ‘quick wins’ in terms of functionality and process. Since launch we have delivered several major upgrades to the system.
