The challenge
- Different systems at home and abroad, with data too inconsistent to share or support global decisions
- About 80% of the business is overseas, and different accounting standards made accounting costly and slow
- Expensive components and regional requirements demanded efficient procurement, quality tracking and fast BOM changes
- After-sales service was not integrated, so maintenance standards varied
