Case Study | ERP Vendor Selection at Mid-Size Animal Feed Manufacturer​

Mar 14, 2025

Client Challenge

A mid-sized animal feed manufacturer faced an urgent need to replace their ERP system due to the current platform being sunset. The existing system had proven inefficient in integrating with other operational systems, and any replacement would need to accommodate both their specialized manufacturing equipment and comply with the complex business requirements specific to animal feed production.​

Our Approach

Captios Partners led a structured evaluation process beginning with comprehensive discovery requirement gathering sessions. We developed an extensive criteria list for the new ERP platform, validated by the client, incorporating both technical requirements and industry-specific business needs. Our team managed all vendor engagements to create a qualified shortlist of vendors prior to involving client stakeholders.​

Client Outcome

The selected ERP solution successfully met the client’s complex requirements for both manufacturing specifications and business needs. Following implementation, Captios Partners began integrating the new ERP with other systems in the client’s technical ecosystem, aligning with the future state architecture we had previously designed. This integration approach ensures the new ERP serves as a cornerstone of the client’s broader digital transformation journey.​
