Projects That Deliver Measurable Results

Distribution ERP Build
$1.2M

Distribution ERP Build

Natural Calm, Toronto

Nutraceutical distributor

Challenge: The client had outgrown their legacy systems. Fulfilment accuracy was poor, inventory visibility was limited, and the existing software could not keep pace with a growing distribution network across Canada.
Solution: We designed and built a full distribution ERP from the ground up, covering inventory management, order processing, warehouse operations, and financial reporting. The system was tailored to the nutraceutical industry's lot tracking and compliance requirements.

Results

  • 80% improvement in fulfilment accuracy
  • Real-time inventory visibility across all warehouses
  • Automated order processing and compliance tracking
  • Full lot/batch traceability for Health Canada requirements

Fleet Maintenance Platform

Fleet Maintenance Platform

Trailcon Leasing, Walmart Canada

Fleet leasing & logistics

Challenge: Trailcon managed a large fleet servicing Walmart Canada's distribution network. Their maintenance tracking was manual, overhead was high, and visibility into fleet health was limited, leading to unplanned downtime and escalating costs.
Solution: We built a fleet maintenance platform that automated scheduling, parts tracking, work orders, and reporting. The system gave managers real-time visibility into fleet status and maintenance history, replacing spreadsheets and phone calls with a single dashboard.

Results

  • 60% reduction in operational overhead
  • Real-time fleet health monitoring
  • Automated maintenance scheduling and work orders
  • Significant reduction in unplanned downtime

Solution: We led a complete ERP modernization, migrating core business systems, redesigning the IT infrastructure, implementing proper backup and DR, and establishing a managed services model for ongoing support and monitoring.

Results

  • $350K in documented cost savings
  • 70% faster incident resolution
  • Disaster recovery and backup validation in place

SAP MM/PM Rollout

SAP MM/PM Rollout

British American Tobacco

Global FMCG corporation

Challenge: Procurement and plant maintenance processes were fragmented across multiple systems. Purchase order turnaround times were slow, maintenance planning lacked visibility, and manual processes created bottlenecks across the supply chain.
Solution: We led the SAP Materials Management (MM) and Plant Maintenance (PM) rollout, configuring procurement workflows, maintenance planning, and inventory management. The project included data migration, user training, and integration with existing financial systems.

Results

  • 80% reduction in purchase order processing time
  • Centralized procurement and maintenance planning
  • Better supply chain visibility
  • Integrated reporting across MM and PM modules
