QuickLink ERP Projects 1 year ago
} Need for a faster, cheaper and easier way to on-board QuickLink ERP partners
Inefficient project management on both sides
} Every customer onboarding request managed as stand-alone project
} Different contact persons within Elemica
} Insufficient up-front information
} No clear timelines and responsibilities – project durations of up to two years
} High project management cost
Increasing number of requests from customers
} Supplier roll-out initiatives
} Only alternative to using the customer’s supplier portal
} Requests for e-invoices or ASN automation
} More requests also from mid-sized customers

A common workshop helped to define the new roll-out program
} Switch from one-by-one project management to a continuous roll-out program
} One Elemica contact person for this roll-out program, one single point of contact for Wacker
} The roll-out is managed in waves to be able to communicate a clear start and end date of the project for the partners

Definition of standards and continuous project management reduces cost per project
Exemplary project cost per wave } Fixed pricing for standard connectivity options and mapping
} Clear definition and pricing for off-standard maps
} Continuous project management instead of a fixed project management block per project

Information material and clear deliverables for the Plan and Assess Phase facilitate communication with partners
Together with Elemica, we defined an information package that includes:
} A presentation to explain the business processes in scope
} Standard connectivity options
} Standard message formats
} E-Readiness Form
} Standard NDA
This can be provided to partners at any time.
Based on the feedback, the partners can be scheduled for a specific wave.

Key take-away from the first 6 months
Easier management of new customer requests We have developed and executed a framework to make it predictable, cost effective and a positive experience for the partners Increased speed for new customer connections 8 new connections with the first two waves compared to an average of 4 onboarding projects per year before the program Commitment of customers is a key success factor Customers cannot be pushed by the supplier to participate and give timely feedback, this can cause delays and increase cost
} The new method works and provides the basis for a roll-out with a larger number of partners
