Living Proof | Consumer Packaged Goods | 150 | $20M | United States | SAP | SAP Business ByDesign | ERP Financial | 2015 | Living Proof implemented SAP Business ByDesign in 2015 to centralize operations as the Cambridge, Massachusetts based consumer packaged goods company scaled from a small startup to a multi–product organization. The SAP Business ByDesign ERP Financial implementation was chosen for its cloud architecture and minimal on site infrastructure requirements, enabling Living Proof to deploy enterprise resource planning without building a dedicated IT department. SAP Business ByDesign was configured to manage finance, production planning, forecasting, employee transactions, and manufacturing workflows, reflecting core ERP Financial functional coverage. The implementation established routine distribution and manufacturing processes and embedded financial control across order to cash and procure to pay flows, positioning SAP Business ByDesign as the system of record for finance and operations. The project included integration with third party logistics providers to support distribution and channel expansion, and it addressed requirements to control channel growth, working capital, and to track retail performance metrics. Navigator Business Solutions served as the system integrator for the deployment, aligning solution configuration to Living Proof business processes and supply chain requirements. Governance changes focused on process discipline and predictable transaction routing, replacing spreadsheet driven workflows with standardized system procedures that eliminated ambiguity about transaction flows. The cloud deployment model and configuration choices enabled Living Proof to improve technology systems without creating internal IT staffing burdens, while maintaining centralized process controls across finance, manufacturing, forecasting, and distribution. Outcomes explicitly reported by the company include a 230% increase in product portfolio and a 330% increase in revenue following the SAP Business ByDesign deployment, together with no net reduction in headcount since go live. Living Proof also planned a follow on implementation of the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence suite and SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence software to add real time retail sales reporting on top of SAP Business ByDesign. | |

Uni-Ball US | Manufacturing | 3900 | $600M | United States | SAP | SAP Business ByDesign | ERP Financial | 2019 | In 2019 Uni-Ball US implemented SAP Business ByDesign as its ERP Financial platform for its North American distribution subsidiary. The rollout targeted a startup-scale operation, with the subsidiary organized in 2018 and staffed with roughly 20 employees during setup, supporting 250 to 300 SKUs, 200 to 800 shipments per week, and approximately 70 to 80 large retail customers. The implementation emphasized out of the box configuration over customization, with basic ERP setup completed within a five month window that began in February 2019 and reached core readiness by July 2019. Configuration work focused on core financials such as general ledger structure and currency setup, and operational modules including sales order management, EDI transaction handling, payment management, and integration points for 3PL interactions. Uni-Ball US intentionally kept the system lightweight so ongoing administration would not require a large IT staff. Navigator Business Solutions served as the SI, bringing an iConnect integration solution and deep SAP Business ByDesign experience. Integrations included SPS Commerce for electronic data interchange, and Navigator’s iConnect reduced the need for a separate middleware platform. Uni-Ball also implemented small pieces of custom translation code to normalize highly specific order formats from large customers including major retail chains, addressing the roughly 20 percent of order requirements not covered by SPS and iConnect. Data sharing with the corporate manufacturing parent is handled via a scheduled monthly file import while headquarters retains direct access to the cloud ERP for reporting and ledger review. Governance and rollout were lightweight and remote, executed by a compact team that included one Navigator developer, a part time consultant, one part time IT resource, and small finance and operations representation. The cloud deployment eliminated on site hardware work and supported remote configuration and upgrades, and Uni-Ball US reported stable operations with no notable outages and smooth upgrade cycles. Roadmap work called for further automation of EDI, sales order flows, payment processes, and 3PL interactions to increase throughput without adding headcount. | |

TriRx Pharmaceutical Services | Manufacturing | 500 | $100M | United States | SAP | SAP Business ByDesign | ERP Financial | 2020 | In 2020 TriRx Pharmaceutical Services deployed SAP Business ByDesign as its ERP Financial system and achieved a production-ready go-live in 12 weeks, turning up core backend systems in time for first commercial batches. Navigator Business Solutions served as the implementation partner, delivering a prepackaged pharmaceutical industry solution built on cloud-based SAP Business ByDesign and executing a compressed remote-heavy rollout cadence. Implementation scope centered on a newly acquired Huntsville manufacturing site and a rapid expansion model that scaled to two implemented sites running and one additional site in process. Functional modules implemented included sales and customer relations as the initial release, followed by production and inventory control, core financials, and GMP-oriented validation workflows, all configured to the solution's out-of-the-box pharmaceutical best practices. The deployment used a cloud-native architecture that minimized on-site infrastructure and allowed the majority of Navigator consultants to configure the system remotely, with consultants on site for milestone verification only three times. TriRx employed an external validation firm, Arbour Group, to perform FDA-required systems validation remotely in coordination with on-site testing, and the platform was positioned to integrate with other software systems as needed without bespoke middleware. Governance and process changes emphasized standardization to accelerate adoption, TriRx relied on Navigator to supply operational process design and configuration guidance because initial headcount was small. Change management prioritized sales and customer-facing workflows first to support active contracts, while financial and production processes were sequenced for full operational readiness, and TriRx retained ongoing consultant access for configuration and higher level support. Outcomes reported in the implementation narrative were explicit, TriRx achieved a full ERP Financial go-live in 12 weeks at an estimated total cost of roughly $500,000 after licensing and implementation expenses, validation completed smoothly with remote verification, and the deployment provided the template for subsequent site rollouts. The company scaled rapidly after go-live, onboarding multiple customers, expanding to over 200 employees in year one, and running multiple products across multiple packaging lines. | |
