The core of the case was not the re-engineering of ERPs, but the reorganization of decentralized data into an accountable and manageable business link without interfering with the original trading system.
Business problem

While data on orders, purchases, inventories, shipments and refunds are all in ERPs, they are not linked to business logic; real business deviations are difficult to express, rely unusually on manual discovery, and the owners still have to ask around.

Solution

Retaining the original ERP as a trading system, reading and synchronizing to the business mirror library, re-establishing the business link using the order as the main line; matching the relationship with unusual identification with AI and the rules, allowing the anomaly to float proactively by operating watchboards and flying book cards.

Human roles & accountability

The system is responsible for linkage, verification and exception; procurement, production, finance and management handle exceptions and assume operational decision-making responsibilities.

FDE delivery actions
  • Follow the actual order to identify deviations between the ERP standard process and the facts on the ground
  • Keep the original ERP and design read-only integrated boundaries
  • Harmonized order, purchase, inventory, delivery and return relationships
  • Convert the manager's questions to unusual rules and liability nodes.
  • Design normal automatic flow, abnormally active closed loops
Reusable delivery patterns
  • Businesses have data that don't mean they've seen business.
  • A read-only image first reduces the risk of replacing the core system.
  • The board should show actionable anomalies and not just aggregate numbers.
  • Combining data by object of operation is more efficient than showing them by system module
Business outcomes & delivery results

The order was formed through full chain penetration, unusual proactive reminders and operating watchboards; no uniform quantification of benefits was disclosed on the Datawhale public page.
