At Change Logic, we understand these challenges and work closely with our clients to navigate the complexities of ERP modernisation. One such success story is our collaboration with Makro, where we partnered with Pieter Schoeman and his team to drive a seamless ERP transformation.
Why ERP Modernisation Matters
ERP systems form the backbone of business operations, integrating everything from supply chain management to financial reporting. Legacy systems, however, can hinder efficiency, create data silos, and limit an organisation’s ability to adapt to new market trends. With AI-driven decision-making and automation shaping the future of business, upgrading ERP systems is critical for maintaining agility and competitiveness.
Change Logic’s Role in Makro’s ERP Transformation
Makro, a leader in the retail sector, recognised the need to modernise its ERP system to enhance operational efficiency and future-proof its business. However, like many companies, the team at Makro faced concerns around potential disruptions, employee adoption, and ensuring a smooth transition. This is where Change Logic stepped in.
Leveraging our expertise in change management and technology adoption, we worked closely with Pieter Schoeman and his team to develop a tailored approach that minimised disruption and maximised user adoption. Our approach included:
- Stakeholder Engagement: Ensuring leadership buy-in and aligning ERP modernisation with business objectives.
- Comprehensive Training & Enablement: Empowering employees with the knowledge and confidence to adapt to new processes.
- Phased Implementation: Reducing operational risk by rolling out changes in stages.
- Continuous Support & Optimisation: Addressing challenges in real-time and refining processes to enhance efficiency.
The Results: A Future-Ready ERP System
Through Change Logic’s strategic guidance, Makro successfully implemented its new ERP system with minimal disruption. The outcome? Improved data visibility, enhanced process efficiencies, and a more agile operation capable of scaling with future demands.
Pieter Schoeman and his team have since experienced firsthand how a well-managed ERP transformation can unlock significant business value. Their success story is a testament to effective change management’s power in ensuring smooth transitions and sustainable growth.
