Kaydee / Sayfa choose Gradient for ERP system selection project. Kaydee Blinds and Sayfa Systems are two separate, but co-owned, companies both supplying products and services to the construction industry. Kaydee’s current ERP system was no longer able to support its operations efficiently, and Sayfa’s rapid growth was beginning to be restricted by the lack of integrated IT systems.
Promethean

They looked for a partner to help them manage their system improvement projects which would eventually spread across three continents.

Case Study: Egbert Taylor
Taylor get ERP implementation support from Gradient. Taylor had been working on an implementation of Infor’s CloudSuite for several months. The objective was to replace a diverse range of legacy systems with a single ERP package. As the planned go-live date approached, there was an increasing concern and outside support was sought.
Fever-Tree
Company growth supported by new ERP system. Fever-Tree is a company that has grown rapidly. The company were utilising multiple systems and spreadsheets to manage what was a £100m+ turnover organisation and found that there were silos of information around the business. They could not easily obtain a single version of the truth or a 360° view of their organisation.
