The Problem
A private equity firm had acquired two lumber processing facilities and needed to unify operations under a single ERP system. The two plants ran incompatible legacy systems with no shared data infrastructure. Management had no visibility across facilities — inventory, labor, and production data all lived in separate silos with no way to consolidate reporting.
The Approach
Capnetix designed and implemented a unified data architecture bridging both facilities into a single ERP platform. The engagement included mobile technology deployment for real-time labor and production tracking on the plant floor, custom integration middleware to reconcile data from both legacy systems during transition, and a consolidated reporting layer giving management cross-facility visibility for the first time.
The Result
Both facilities were successfully unified under a single ERP system with real-time data flowing from the plant floor to management dashboards. Labor tracking accuracy improved significantly, and the private equity firm gained the operational visibility needed to manage both plants as a single integrated business.
