We recently acquired a chemical plant and a new product line, and we hired Kocer Consulting + Engineering to help our staff to manage the transition and implement our ERP system for these new operations. Kocer played an important role in helping us to meet our tight six-month deadline. They facilitated a collaborative effort and involved everyone in the scheduling of the project, helped to track and monitor progress, provided support for documentation and mapping of the production and business processes and supported the testing and configuration of the ERP through completion. They worked closely with our internal PM and the entire management team and were greatly appreciated and respected by all. Both operations were successfully launched and operating with the new ERP on time and within budget. When we compiled the lessons learned survey from our staff at the end of the project it was very clear that the support from Kocer was a major contributor to our success. I highly recommend hiring Kocer Consulting + Engineering for managing and supporting ERP implementations and operational transitions.
Legend Brands ERP Implementation and Operational Transition (Russ Wilson, CFO)
Kocer Consulting + Engineering has provided us with a strategy to improve our company. Their assessment of our operations and current ERP system was very thorough and included many ideas to be more profitable. The benefits of each improvement opportunity was fantastic and they provided a roadmap for how to implement. In addition, they were conscious of our price target and timeline. They were able to research and secure a significant amount of grant funding from the State of Washington to pay for improvements. I would highly recommend their services and we are planning on working more with them in the future.
Peripheral Visions, Inc. (Kent Laverdure, President)
We partnered with Kocer Consulting + Engineering to review our Distribution Center capacity and to review our current processes and suggest solid process improvements. Dan Kocer and his team more than met our expectations by delivering a complete and thorough analysis. They met with our staff and took the time to understand our operation from top to bottom and were able to provide actionable suggestions all through the process. I see no reason why we wouldn’t continue to work with Dan Kocer and his team in the future.
