Client Context
A leading player in the energy and lubricants sector, required a new ERP environment to support the formation of a joint venture (JV). This was a first-of-its-kind initiative, where the system needed to be designed and ready before the JV formally launched, ensuring a seamless start to operations from Day One.
Challenges
- Pre-launch readiness – System had to be built before the JV was operational.
- Process alignment – Business processes were still being finalized while ERP preparation was underway.
- Full functional coverage – ERP needed to incorporate all features and requirements from a JV perspective.
- Parallel execution – JV creation and ERP go-live had to be synchronized and successful in parallel.
Our Approach
- Collaborated with business stakeholders to define and refine processes during system design.
- Built the ERP system to anticipating JV requirements, ensuring end-to-end functionality across Finance, SCM, and Operations.
- Managed parallel streams — JV legal and organizational setup alongside ERP build and deployment.
- Conducted pre-launch readiness checks to guarantee smooth onboarding of JV users.
Results
- ERP system fully operational at JV launch, enabling immediate business continuity.
- All required functionalities available from Day One, avoiding post-launch disruption.
- Successful synchronization of ERP go-live and JV formation.
- Established a strong foundation for growth and scalability of the JV.
