Liberty Advisor Group guided a building materials manufacturer through a rapid ERP consolidation and transformation that enabled the company to replace four disparate legacy systems, align technology with the business strategy, and set the foundation for global operational scalability. Liberty delivered software vendor selection, implementation partner identification, program budgeting, and implementation leadership within three months. Continued engagement included execution support, organizational design, and knowledge transfer to internal teams

Following multiple acquisitions, a rapidly expanding building materials manufacturer was operating across four distinct and aging ERP platforms, including custom and mainframe systems. This fragmented environment created significant operational inefficiencies, data silos, inconsistent reporting, and limited integration, constraining scalability and inhibiting enterprise standardization. The existing systems could not support executive strategic objectives or future growth.

Leadership required a partner with deep manufacturing and ERP expertise to rapidly evaluate and rationalize the ERP landscape, develop a defensible business case, and define a clear roadmap to a unified enterprise platform that would deliver enterprise visibility and long term growth.

Liberty deployed a structured ERP transformation methodology to rapidly evaluate and select a single ERP platform to replace multiple legacy systems, identify an implementation partner aligned with the client’s culture and technical requirements, and build and validate a detailed implementation budget and benefits case to support board approval.

Leveraging manufacturing domain expertise and industry benchmarks, Liberty developed vendor shortlists, conducted scripted demonstrations, evaluated total cost of ownership, and assessed fit against current business capabilities and future growth requirements. Software and implementation partner selection were completed in under three months.

Following board approval, Liberty provided delivery assurance by transitioning directly into implementation leadership, governance oversight, and organizational transition and change management support to ensure successful execution and sustained adoption.

The client achieved a single source of truth across operational data, improved cross-functional integration, and a foundation for future process standardization and growth. Liberty’s involvement ensured continuity from strategy through execution, reducing implementation risk and accelerating time to value.

Key business outcomes:

• Successful selection of a unified ERP software and implementation partner in under 90 days.
• Validated multi-year budget and benefits case aligned to executive strategic goals.
• Seamless transition from selection to implementation leadership, including go-live at a major manufacturing site and third-party logistics centers.
• Organizational redesign support and knowledge transfer to client teams to sustain operations post-implementation.
• Successfully avoided over $3 million in cost overruns by implementing delivery discipline, effective risk management, and preventing project delays.
