Reaching the bottom with their previous ERP- The challenge

Future Holding has been dependent on an ERP tool for many years; however, the ERP tool that they had been using in the initial years couldn't address their requirements.

What were the challenges that Future Holding had with the previous ERP?

  • Ineffective multi-company management, functioning from six branches and one acting as the headquarters.
  • Another key issue that they had to face with the previous ERP is payroll management.
  • Another aspect was that of the sales management along with the management of the remote working employees.
  • Along with the lack of an effective document management module for the missing and storage of other related documents their operations were disrupted.

How did Future holdings manage the operations with previous ERP?

  • All the financial management operations of the entire branches were configured to run from the headquarters branch except on the acceptance of customer payments
  • Being a consultancy service provider, where their employees work in other companies, their ERP has to be equipped with an effective payroll management system for their employees.
  • Due to the impact of the pandemic all the sale operations were turned out to be virtual and that too remotely, the previous ERP that they had lacked in the operations capability and support providing tools for remote working.
