Strategic JDE WMS Integration Planning for a Food Manufacturing Enterprise
Challenge
The organization faced several challenges in planning the project:
- Need for detailed development and integration lists.
- Resource allocation planning across IT and business functions.
- Establishing project timelines with phased roll-outs.
- Risk of delays and cost overruns without a structured approach.
Solution
IT Convergence designed a comprehensive strategy through:
- A two-week on-site workshop with business and IT stakeholders.
- Detailed deliverables, including development lists, integration touchpoints, resource requirements, and milestone timelines.
- A phased roll-out plan covering multiple distribution and manufacturing facilities.
This roadmap became the foundation for a multi-year, multi-facility ERP modernization initiative.
Results
- Secured capital investment and executive approval.
- Ensured the project was properly resourced with clear ownership.
- Enabled the client to launch and complete the project on time.
- Reduced risks through clear integration and execution planning.
The organization gained a structured, actionable roadmap for WMS integration with JD Edwards—ensuring alignment, reducing risks, and enabling on-time project delivery across multiple facilities.
