Background
Poulos Bros is one of Sydney’s leading seafood wholesalers. They have served the wholesale market for decades. In the late 1980s, they implemented a packaged distribution system. It supported their operations reliably for many years.
As the business grew and technology changed, they chose to implement a new ERP and distribution system. They understood that a successful go-live depended on accurate and complete data migration from the legacy system. To manage this critical task, they sought external expertise.
Business Challenge
Poulos Bros needed to extract, clean, and prepare historical and operational data. This process required detailed knowledge of both the old and new systems.
They engaged CMC to provide specialist consulting and business analysis. The focus was on identifying the most effective way to extract essential data. CMC worked closely with stakeholders to understand business rules, data structures, and reporting needs.
Results
CMC deployed experienced consultants to work with the Managing Director and Financial Controller. Together, they reviewed processes and mapped data from the legacy system. They identified any issues with data quality or structure that could impact migration.
CMC defined and coded the data extracts based on the new system’s requirements. They tested all extracts to ensure reliability and accuracy.
Beyond migration, the project also revealed ways to improve business processes and explore modern technologies.
CMC’s targeted support allowed Poulos Bros to manage the project efficiently and meet their data migration goals with confidence.
