The Challenge

The Challenge

As Cherwell faced extensive growth, they needed an ERP solution to replace the existing systems and support the 10% per annum growth plan.

Cherwell looked to de-risk the business as the business expanded by preventing knowledge silos and individuals from hoarding the business data.

Cherwell required a unified data center that was accessible to all stakeholders, in addition to a scalable and flexible system that could be easily customized and improved to meet business needs.

The Solution

The Solution

Cherwell researched multiple ERP systems and vendors, and out of 49 contenders, Cherwell chose Priority, primarily due to its “out of the box” process structure match to the Cherwell production process and the ongoing product support and development.

After ensuring the implementation’s vendor experience, skills and knowledge, Cherwell chose a Priority Gold partner, Medatech UK, to implement the system.
