Why the client reached out
The logistics team had disconnected tools for dispatch, invoicing, and route operations. Managers were exporting spreadsheets every evening just to build a partial performance report.
The 8-week delivery plan
Week 1: Discovery and process mapping
We interviewed operations, finance, and dispatch teams. We mapped each workflow and highlighted handoffs where delays or duplicate work happened.
Week 2 to 4: Core ERP modules
We shipped inventory, fleet tracking, and billing modules first because they carried the biggest operational risk.
Week 5 to 6: Permissions and dashboards
Branch managers, operations leads, and finance admins got role-based dashboards with tailored metrics.
Week 7 to 8: Migration and go-live
We migrated key data in batches, validated reconciliations, and trained users before launch day.
Key lessons
- Keep integrations narrow at first and expand after stabilization.
- Define ownership for each workflow early.
- Weekly demos reduce stakeholder anxiety and prevent rework.
What changed post-launch
Manual reporting dropped sharply, invoicing became faster, and management finally had one trusted source of truth for day-to-day decisions.
