How System Recovery Transformed an ERP System’s Performance
Specialist Blinds, one of the UK’s largest blind manufacturers, relied on a bespoke ERP system to manage orders, production, and stock. But as their business grew, their software became more of a burden than a tool. Their previous development team had become unresponsive, unresolved bugs were piling up, and new feature development had come to a halt.
The company had to decide whether to continue struggling with a stagnant system or bring in a new development partner to take complete control. They turned to Full Metal Software to stabilise, maintain, and enhance their ERP, ensuring it could evolve with their business.
From System Failures to Continuous Innovation
Before Full Metal Software intervened, ERP issues disrupted workflows, slowed operations, and prevented innovation. Bugs remained unfixed for months, and with no active development, the system was holding the business back instead of driving it forward.
Full Metal Software’s ERP Transformation
Full Metal Software designed and implemented a structured recovery plan to bring stability, resolve technical debt, and unlock new growth opportunities.
- First, the team seamlessly took over system support, integrating the ERP into a structured development pipeline to ensure immediate response times and ongoing maintenance.
- Next, Full Metal Software executed a full bug blitz, identifying and fixing all critical issues affecting operations.
- Finally, the team moved from maintenance to innovation, working closely with Specialist Blinds to introduce new features tailored to business needs—turning their ERP from a liability into a scalable, growth-driven asset.
