ERP

ERP is software that represents a suite of integrated applications that can be used to collect, store, manage, analyse and interpret data from many or all business activities and processes.

The modern-day ERP is built for businesses of any size and industry, whether installed on the premises or in the cloud, dispelling the myth that ERP systems are only suited to large corporate companies in the industrial and manufacturing industries.

Advance to grow

Zest is highly proficient in identifying the appropriate ERP or bespoke software system for a business and enjoys extensive experience of managing this type of project within the fresh produce sector. Our ERP teams are on hand to help you navigate your business to a successful ERP implementation - from working with your in-house team to ascertain the system of choice and guiding you through the solution design process, through to managing the final install, and the essential go-live and post go-live support.

Benefits of working with Zest on your ERP project

Zest appreciates how difficult it is for a company to commit a full-time resource to big projects.  We are well placed to offer support and fill in the gaps either on a part-time or full-time basis throughout the project lifecycle. This can be for project management, functional support or even just a friendly ear to provide a go to for advice, reassurance and ultimately peace of mind

  • We can help develop a compelling overall business strategy and work with you to develop the core infrastructure to support this

  • No matter what stage of the project you are at, we can help and add value even extending our services to offer post go-live support

  • Zest is wholly independent since we don’t not sell any software, nor do we have partnerships in place with any software vendors. Our advice is therefore ALWAYS impartial and NEVER swayed by financial incentives

  • Zest can offer a detailed and advanced selection process to help you identify the best fit system for your business. We have direct experience of many of the ERP systems that are currently in operation and understand the strengths and weaknesses of each within the various different industry sectors

  • In FMCG the ‘front end’ and ‘back end’ processes are often challenging in most ERP systems.  Zest has the ability to plug these gaps and introduce other bolt-on software to help you manage supplier and grower product tracking from field to port, as well as tracking final goods through to the end customer

  • We like to think of ourselves as being very much on the customer’s ‘side’, protecting their best interests. We work closely to ensure the software vendors and any other intermediaries are providing value for money at the start and throughout the project. Often this is where our fees can achieve a speedy payback

  • Our other core services compliment the company’s strengths in managing manage ERP projects (BPM and Supply Chain Solutions)
