Modessa needed a reliable partner to develop and implement ERP platform and web development services
Prior to upgrading to full-featured ERP, the North Carolina-based business tracked its inventory in a spreadsheet and its financial data in Excel. When the company began doubling sales year-over-year, leadership felt its current processes weren’t keeping up. Spreadsheets couldn’t account for changing inventory costs, and the accounting software didn’t have the workflows necessary to record the cost of goods sold, an important financial metric.
In addition, they needed an eCommerce website to serve as a public image for their products that can sell to both B2B & B2C clients.
As a result, the Modessa Couture team did double data entry — manually and could not project their products to the forefront in an organized manner.
To centralize all work in one place, the company’s CEO implemented Leeway ERP. After a six-week implementation process, changes were immediate, according to team members.
The client seamlessly implemented the new platform with zero downtime during business hours
Assessment and Requirement Gathering:
Leeway started by conducting a thorough assessment of Modessa Couture’s existing systems and processes. This involved understanding their inventory management challenges with spreadsheets and the limitations of their financial tracking in Excel. Detailed discussions with Modessa’s team helped identify specific requirements and pain points that needed addressing.
Customization and Configuration:
Based on the assessment, Leeway customized their ERP software to meet Modessa’s unique needs. This included configuring the system to handle inventory updates in real-time and integrate seamlessly with their existing eCommerce platform. Custom workflows were developed to automate tasks such as inventory cost tracking and financial reporting.
Implementation Planning:
Leeway then devised a comprehensive implementation plan in collaboration with Modessa Couture. This plan outlined timelines, milestones, and responsibilities to ensure a smooth transition from their legacy systems to the new ERP solution. Key considerations included data migration, user training, and system testing to minimize disruption to Modessa’s operations.
Deployment and Integration:
The ERP system was deployed in phases to manage risk and ensure functionality at each stage. Leeway worked closely with Modessa’s IT team to integrate the ERP software with their eCommerce website and other internal systems. This integration was crucial for enabling seamless data flow and maintaining operational continuity.
Training and Support:
Leeway provided comprehensive training sessions for Modessa’s staff to familiarize them with the new ERP system. Training covered everything from basic navigation to advanced features tailored to Modessa’s specific workflows. Ongoing support was also provided post-launch to address any issues and optimize system usage.
Monitoring and Optimization:
Post-implementation, Leeway continued to monitor the ERP system’s performance and gathered feedback from Modessa Couture. This feedback loop allowed for continuous optimization of the system to further enhance efficiency, accuracy, and user satisfaction.
The client implemented the new ERP with enhanced inventory management capabilities, automated financial processes, and empowered internal control, resulting in streamlined operations and substantial business growth.
At Leeway, we recognized the challenges Modessa Couture faced with their outdated inventory tracking and financial management systems. To address these issues comprehensively, we implemented our robust ERP solution.
This involved seamlessly integrating Modessa’s entire product inventory with their eCommerce platform, ensuring real-time updates and enhancing customer shopping experiences. Our software also automated the detection and correction of inventory-related bookkeeping errors, optimizing financial accuracy and operational efficiency.
By empowering Modessa Couture to manage these tasks internally, we enabled them to cease reliance on external accountants, leading to substantial cost savings and facilitating a significant increase in sales—approximately 50% year-over-year—without expanding their workforce. Moreover, our ERP solution provided Modessa with actionable insights into margins and inventory levels, enabling informed decision-making that further boosted their eCommerce operations and overall business growth.
