These are real client engagements led by JET Consults across mergers and acquisitions, ERP transformation, supply chain optimization, and custom digital solutions.
Unifying Operations After the Deal Closes
Bridging Continents Through Technology
Unifying operations across borders: a rapid 9-month technology and infrastructure integration following the acquisition of a major Colombian chemical producer by its Delaware-based parent.
Business Problem
Following the acquisition, the two companies needed to unify technology and infrastructure to unlock operational efficiencies, consolidate data, and establish a single global presence — fast.
Environment
A large multinational chemical company (Delaware, USA) on SAP ERP acquired a large Colombian chemical company, also on SAP, but with a fully independent, regionally customized instance.
Objectives
Merge two independent SAP environments, consolidate global data, establish EDI/API connectivity with trading partners, and migrate the combined system to the cloud.
Challenges
- Integrating two large, independently customized SAP systems
- Global ETL data consolidation across regulatory environments
- Harmonizing manufacturing, supply chain, and finance processes
- Aggressive 9-month timeline
Approach
JET Consults planned and executed the SAP-to-SAP migration with detailed data mapping and cleansing, established EDI/API connections, harmonized business processes across both organizations, and managed the cloud migration in four structured phases.
Deliverables
- Unified SAP environment across both entities
- EDI/API connections to trading partners
- Migrated, standardized cloud infrastructure
- Integrated non-ERP application landscape
Results
A single operational platform across the USA and Colombia, with consolidated data providing enhanced visibility and faster decision-making across the newly combined organization.
Lessons Learned
Establishing the integration framework (EDI, APIs, data mapping) before migration began was what made the aggressive 9-month timeline achievable — sequencing mattered as much as speed.
Driving Synergies: Light- and Heavy-Duty Auto Parts Integration
Connecting light- and heavy-duty auto parts leaders in just 12 months through a comprehensive SAP integration.
Business Problem
A light-duty auto parts manufacturer's acquisition of a heavy-duty auto parts distributor left the acquired company on an outdated legacy ERP with no path to a unified view of the combined business.
Environment
The acquirer ran a mature SAP environment; the acquired company operated on an antiquated legacy system, supporting an entirely different vehicle segment (18-wheelers and larger vehicles).
Objectives
Migrate the acquired company fully onto the parent's SAP platform, consolidate vendor/customer master data, integrate 24 non-ERP applications, and modernize to SAP HANA Cloud.
Challenges
- Migrating off a legacy, unsupported ERP (Mac Pack)
- High data volume and complexity across finance, warehouse, and distribution
- Integrating 24 non-ERP applications from both companies
- Concurrent SAP HANA Cloud upgrade
Approach
JET Consults managed the full ETL migration, integrated finance, procurement, warehousing, and distribution modules, consolidated master data, and built 47 new business reports — all while upgrading the platform to SAP HANA Cloud.
Deliverables
- Full SAP module integration (Finance, Source-to-Pay, Warehouse, Distribution)
- Consolidated vendor and customer master data
- 47 new business reports
- SAP HANA Cloud upgrade
Results
A unified view of operations across both auto parts segments, with real-time insights and streamlined finance, procurement, and distribution processes.
Lessons Learned
Bundling the platform modernization (HANA Cloud) with the integration — rather than migrating first and upgrading later — avoided a second disruptive cutover for the combined organization.
Pouring Success: A Strategic Merger & SAP Transformation
Integrating two Texas beverage powerhouses in 9 months, delivering unprecedented efficiency and real-time insight.
Business Problem
A Houston-based spirits company's acquisition of a Dallas-based beverage distributor required merging two entirely different ERP systems while harmonizing complex, regulated inventory (vintages, proof, excise tax).
Environment
A Houston-based premium spirits company (~$55M) on Acumatica acquired a Dallas-based beer and wine distributor (~$45M) on Advantage ERP.
Objectives
Stand up a unified SAP S/4HANA platform with industry-specific modules for excise tax and inventory, plus a real-time performance dashboard for leadership.
Challenges
- Two disparate legacy ERP systems
- Regulatory complexity specific to wine and spirits
- Establishing tandem logistics across the expanded Texas market
- 9-month timeline for a full platform build
Approach
JET Consults built custom SAP S/4HANA modules for excise tax and inventory management, migrated data from both legacy systems, redesigned logistics, and deployed a real-time dashboard covering inventory, sales, and distribution.
Deliverables
- Custom SAP S/4HANA modules (excise tax, inventory)
- Tandem logistics design
- Real-time executive dashboard
- New external reporting and KPI framework
Results
A 37% reduction in overall overhead and operational costs, unified inventory management, and improved distribution efficiency across the combined Texas footprint.
Lessons Learned
Building industry-specific SAP modules (rather than forcing a generic template) was what made the combined regulatory and inventory complexity manageable within an aggressive timeline.
Seamless Integration Fuels Post-Merger Success
Achieving real-time visibility and operational harmony in a complex cosmetics industry merger within 12 months.
Business Problem
A global cosmetics company needed real-time visibility into a newly-acquired emerging beauty brand's inventory, but the acquired brand ran on an incompatible legacy ERP and standalone CRM.
Environment
The acquirer ran a mature, global SAP S/4HANA environment; the acquired brand ran on a legacy ERP and separate CRM system.
Objectives
Integrate the acquired brand's legacy systems and CRM into the parent's SAP environment and deliver real-time inventory visibility across all locations.
Challenges
- Disparate, incompatible ERP systems
- Data silos across inventory, sales, and finance
- Integrating the acquired brand's CRM with the parent's SAP environment
- 12-month timeline including European module configuration
Approach
JET Consults built a middleware and API layer to connect the acquired brand's systems to SAP, migrated and harmonized data, aligned core processes across both companies, and delivered a real-time inventory dashboard.
Deliverables
- Middleware/API integration layer
- Real-time inventory dashboard
- CRM-to-SAP integration
- Harmonized source-to-pay and lead-to-cash processes
Results
Real-time inventory visibility across every acquired-brand location, unified business processes, and faster financial consolidation across the combined organization.
Lessons Learned
A middleware-first integration strategy (rather than a forced direct migration) let the acquired brand continue operating with minimal disruption while data was harmonized in the background.
Giving Leadership the Platform to See and Act
Powering Growth and Efficiency
A successful Microsoft Dynamics ERP rollout across 13 offices and 42 facilities for a Texas-based oil and gas company.
Business Problem
Rapid growth across a geographically dispersed pipeline and storage network left the company's legacy systems unable to keep pace, creating data silos and limited real-time visibility.
Environment
A prominent Texas-based oil and gas company operating pipelines across the Eastern Seaboard and Midwest, plus significant petroleum storage infrastructure.
Objectives
Deploy a unified Microsoft Dynamics ERP across finance, supply chain, operations, and project management, consistently across all locations.
Challenges
- Disparate systems and data silos across departments and locations
- Complex multi-facility financial management
- No dedicated project management capability for infrastructure projects
- Deployment consistency across 13 offices and 42 facilities
Approach
JET Consults configured and deployed Financial Management, Supply Chain Management, Operations, and Project Management modules, migrated legacy data, and delivered training across every office and facility.
Deliverables
- Enterprise-wide Microsoft Dynamics ERP deployment
- Financial Management module (GL, AP, AR, Fixed Assets, Budgeting)
- Supply Chain & Project Management modules
- Company-wide end-user training program
Results
Centralized financial visibility, streamlined distribution, and real-time insights supporting strategic decision-making across the full 13-office, 42-facility footprint.
Lessons Learned
Deploying training and support consistently across every office — not just headquarters — was essential to getting uniform adoption across a geographically dispersed workforce.
Agile Planning Drives 33% Revenue Growth
Moving from monthly to weekly planning revolutionized agility and fueled exponential growth in a trend-driven market.
Business Problem
A rigid monthly planning cycle couldn't keep pace with a trend-driven cosmetics market, where a single viral moment could upend demand for a specific shade or product overnight.
Environment
A major North American cosmetics manufacturer's largest plant, operating within an existing SAP environment but planning on a monthly cadence.
Objectives
Move to weekly master scheduling with daily production adjustments, backed by real-time inventory and production visibility for leadership.
Challenges
- Monthly planning cadence unable to react to real-time demand signals
- Growing slow-moving and non-moving inventory
- Reliance on costly outside storage
- Capped production capacity
Approach
JET Consults implemented weekly master scheduling and daily production scheduling inside SAP, then built a cloud-based real-time dashboard covering warehouse capacity, inventory, transit, and production line performance.
Deliverables
- Weekly master scheduling framework
- Daily production scheduling process
- Real-time inventory & production dashboard
- 60-day training program, 90-day full rollout
Results
Production capacity rose from 270M to 360M units per year (33%), annual revenue grew from $1.5B to $2B, and planning efficiency improved 57% — while eliminating outside storage entirely.
Lessons Learned
The real-time dashboard was as important as the scheduling change itself — visibility into warehouse capacity and transit is what let planners actually act on the faster cadence.
Turning Bottlenecks Into Capacity
Comprehensive Warehouse Optimization
From receiving bottleneck to expanded storage — a holistic approach boosts efficiency and unlocks capacity at a major cosmetics manufacturer.
Business Problem
A chronic receiving bottleneck at the company's largest plant threatened production continuity, while a 3,500 sq. ft. label room consumed pallet storage that couldn't be reclaimed.
Environment
A leading North American cosmetics manufacturer's largest plant, running SAP and a Warehouse Management System, with materials subject to a mandatory 36-hour QA hold.
Objectives
Eliminate the receiving bottleneck, remove reliance on off-site storage, and reclaim warehouse space for production materials.
Challenges
- Manual, multi-system data entry across vendors
- Physical space constrained by a fixed 3,500 sq. ft. label room
- Mandatory 36-hour QA hold adding storage pressure
- Need for vendor buy-in on a new labeling standard
Approach
JET Consults modeled the entire material handling process in Arena simulation software, replaced manual data entry with a single vendor-adopted QR code standard integrated into SAP/WMS, then installed a vertical carousel label system to free up 175,000 cubic feet of space.
Deliverables
- Simulation-validated process redesign
- Unified QR code standard adopted by vendors
- SAP/WMS scanner integration
- Vertical carousel label storage system
Results
66% less material handling time, 75% efficiency increase, OTIF up to 96%, and full ROI within 90 days at the first plant — with the model then rolled out across five additional North American plants.
Lessons Learned
Getting vendors to adopt the new label standard was the single hardest and most important step — the entire QR code approach only works if the data is embedded before it reaches the dock.
Revolutionizing Garment Rental Logistics
Automation and a bespoke ERP transform a manual distribution center, delivering a 42% picking efficiency improvement.
Business Problem
After acquiring a garment rental subsidiary, a leading lifestyle retailer's parent company inherited a fully manual 500,000 sq. ft. distribution center with on-time-in-full delivery stuck at 72%.
Environment
A newly acquired garment rental service subsidiary, handling the complete rental lifecycle — picking, packing, returns, dry cleaning, QA, and restocking — almost entirely by hand.
Objectives
Automate the facility's core material handling, maximize storage capacity, and build a purpose-built ERP for the rental garment lifecycle.
Challenges
- Fully manual picking, packing, and sorting operations
- Facility running out of storage capacity
- No real-time visibility into inventory or processing status
- No off-the-shelf ERP designed for garment rental
Approach
JET Consults designed and installed a three-level vertical carousel system and a Vertical Lift Module, redesigned storage racking from three to five tiers, and built a bespoke ERP to manage the full rental garment lifecycle end to end.
Deliverables
- 20,000 sq. ft. vertical carousel automation system
- Vertical Lift Module (VLM)
- Optimized storage racking (3 → 5 tiers)
- Bespoke rental-lifecycle ERP, integrated with parent systems
Results
Picking efficiency up 42%, OTIF delivery up from 72% to 98%, and a $25M investment projected to return $97M in savings over five years — establishing a blueprint for four additional facilities.
Lessons Learned
No commercial ERP fit the rental garment lifecycle well enough — building a bespoke system, then integrating it back into the parent company's stack, proved more effective than adapting an off-the-shelf platform.
Building the Tools Clients Actually Use
Project Woods: A Unified Digital Hub
A custom app and website solution drives efficiency and productivity for a leading Pennsylvania tax firm serving 4,500+ clients.
Business Problem
A growing tax firm relied entirely on manual communication for routine client questions, document collection, and updates — consuming significant staff time and limiting scale.
Environment
A leading Pennsylvania tax service provider with over 4,500 individual and business clients, relying on phone, email, and paper-based document collection.
Objectives
Build a unified digital hub giving clients secure self-service account access, automated receipt/spending tracking, and proactive tax education.
Challenges
- Time-consuming, repetitive client interactions
- No client self-service option at all
- Difficulty delivering proactive tax education at scale
- Need for both native mobile and web experiences
Approach
JET Consults designed and built "Project Woods" — native iOS and Android apps plus a companion website — giving clients secure login, on-the-go receipt capture, automated spending tracking, and a full tax education library.
Deliverables
- Native iOS and Android applications
- Companion responsive website
- Secure account access and communication channel
- Tax education content library
Results
Clients gained independent access to their accounts and tax information, tax professionals saw a meaningful productivity gain from automated receipt/spending tracking, and the firm received strongly positive client feedback on ease of use.
Lessons Learned
Designing for clients "with varying levels of technical expertise" from day one — not just power users — was what drove the strong adoption and positive feedback across such a large client base.
