Operational Intelligence
Retailers encounter specific pitfalls when implementing or upgrading SAP Business One. Understanding these patterns is key to successful project rescue and prevention.
Impact: The critical path is lost, the team is demoralised, and the final solution differs drastically from original expectations, often at a much higher cost.
Cogent Approach: We re-establish baseline scope, implement rigorous change management protocols, and work with stakeholders to re-prioritise features based on commercial impact and technical feasibility within SAP B1 limits.
Impact: Operational paralysis and a lack of trust in the new system; crucial business decisions are made on faulty information, leading to commercial losses.
Cogent Approach: We audit data migration strategy, validate transformation rules, and implement reconciliation frameworks. This often means re-migrating critical data with proper cleansing, aligning it with SAP B1's data structures.
Impact: Strategic objectives are undermined, internal teams are frustrated, and the business question of 'why did we start this?' becomes central.
Cogent Approach: We mediate between the client and existing partner or advise on alternative strategies. Our deep retail and SAP B1 background fills knowledge gaps, focusing efforts on commercially critical outcomes.
Impact: Operational inefficiencies escalate, customer experience suffers, and manual workarounds mask systemic failures that become critical during peak trade.
Cogent Approach: We conduct an integration audit to map data flows, identify governance gaps, and establish clear ownership for data integrity and error resolution between SAP B1 and connected systems.
