Case Studies
Success Stories: My Experience Applied
Real results from applying my expertise to complex business challenges
Case Study 1: Turning fragmented supply-chain data into decisions
The Challenge: An industrial manufacturer's supply-chain data lived in three separate systems that didn't talk to each other. Assessing performance meant hours of manual work, and problems surfaced too late to act on.
What I did:
I built a tool that pulled the data from all three systems into one current view, with drill-down into the drivers behind each KPI. The standard systems couldn't produce this analysis, and I designed for management to read at a glance.
The Result:
Reporting shifted from manual and after-the-fact to automated and current. Management could see issues as they emerged and act on them, which fed directly into a better service level and lower backlog.
Case Study 2: Rebuilding a distributor’s systems after a partnership split
The Challenge: An automotive importer had to move off an ERP system tied to a departing partner without interrupting daily business. The system was running its entire distribution operation.
What I did:
As CFO, I led the migration to a new system over roughly 18 months: redesigning the distribution and finance workflows around it rather than copying old habits, connecting inventory to financial reporting, and running a thorough data-cleansing and validation process before go-live.
The Result:
The company moved to the new system without disrupting operations, and came out with a financial core it fully owned and controlled.
Case Study 3: Stopping the losses in a multi-line business
The Challenge: A producer was losing around USD 400,000 a month, and consolidated reporting made it impossible to see which line was responsible — local management had little incentive to make that visible.
What I did:
I implemented a new ERP to establish one reliable set of numbers, then built margin analysis down to individual production lines. That separated the genuinely unprofitable line from one that was underperforming but had real potential, and I built the financial models that gave the owner the evidence to act.
The Result:
The monthly loss was halted, investment was redirected to the line with potential, and the business returned to profitability.
