Fit-gap and process design
Standard processes adopted where they fit, with each gap given a decision, an owner and an agreed approach.
Industry context
ERP solutions in logistics and supply chain
We implement ERP so finance, procurement and operations move to one set of processes and one ledger, with migration rehearsed before cutover.
An ERP programme rebuilds how finance, procurement and operations record their work, so fit-gap decisions, data migration and cutover planning carry most of the risk. We agree the target processes and the chart of accounts early, rehearse migration more than once and plan cutover around your financial calendar.
Logistics operators work to tight delivery windows and customs requirements, with many partners running different systems. Planners, warehouse leads and partner managers need changes that do not interrupt live shipments, so we plan cutovers away from volume peaks. In the UAE the design has to cover Federal Tax Authority VAT returns and the national e-invoicing programme, and in Saudi Arabia ZATCA VAT and the FATOORAH e-invoicing integration.
After stabilisation we hand over to your teams or keep running the service with you.
Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.
How the work is organised
From design to stable operation, with the evidence operations, finance and customer service leadership ask for.
Data migration and reconciliation
Rehearsed loads of master data and open balances, reconciled and signed off by finance before cutover.
Cutover and stabilisation
A cutover plan built around period-end, a stabilisation period after go-live and clear criteria for closing it.
Customs and port platforms
We plan integration with the customs and port systems your shipments pass through, such as Dubai Customs' Mirsal and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security in the UAE, or ZATCA's FASAH platform and Mawani in Saudi Arabia.
Tax and e-invoicing
VAT codes, tax reports and e-invoicing interfaces configured and tested for each country in scope.
Integration with surrounding systems
Interfaces to banks, payroll, CRM and reporting, each with an owner and a reconciliation check.
Checks before you start
An ERP programme is ready to start when the entities and processes in scope are fixed and finance has set time aside for testing and sign-off.
- The customs and port systems in scope have been listed for each market.
- Finance has named the period-end that cutover must avoid and the people who will sign off migrated balances.
- The legal entities and countries in the first release have been agreed.
