Dairy cooperative Campina faced one of the largest (digital) projects in recent years: the migration of all its individual ERP systems into one central system. It was a complex process that involved several different departments.
During the preparation process, it soon became apparent that product data from spare parts in different ERP systems didn’t match. Incorrect information—such as incorrect descriptions and abbreviations—were found on a number of products.
This resulted in engineers ordering more inventory when items couldn’t be immediately found in the system, resulting in Campina carrying twice the number needed for a number of products.
