CH&CO chose Redfaire to upgrade and modernize their ERP and IT infrastructure. The project was undertaken during lockdown. Delivering this ambitious project on time and on budget with no on-site or face-to-face meetings demanded flexibility, resilience, and ingenuity.
Thanks to strong teamwork, collaboration, and a shared vision, the project was successfully delivered despite the challenging context of a global pandemic.
Our product development team works hand-in-hand with our consultants to identify how clients can benefit from the latest JD Edwards innovations such as Orchestrator and JET forms. Our goal is to ensure the maximum return on ERP investment.
Headquartered in Reading, UK, CH&CO offers premium contract and hospitality catering services throughout the UK and Ireland. The company has a prestigious client portfolio and has held a Royal Warrant for the provision of catering services to the monarchy since 2013. The company is growing organically and through acquisitions. IT is key to facilitating this growth and delivering strong ROI.
A modern, robust, scalable IT system is a key pillar of CH&CO's strategy.
The question was, how to deliver this complex, strategic project when everyone had to work remotely because of Covid-19?
From January to June 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic, Redfaire and CH&CO:
Successfully completing a transformative project like this on time and on budget is quite an achievement. That the teams were able to do this despite the challenges of the Covid-19 lockdown is testimony to the strong partnership and skills of Redfaire’s consultants and CH&CO’s internal team.
CH&CO chose Redfaire International thanks to their skills and extensive experience in bringing JD Edwards customers onto Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Redfaire’s Cloud 9 methodology and the team’s keen understanding of the strategic objectives of the upgrade and move to the Cloud ensured that the project was delivered on time and on-budget, despite the challenges of remote working.
Managing our suspense accounts and Inventory reconciliation used to take days at month end, often with external help. This tool is a real timesaver for our accounting department. Our inventory reporting matches our General Ledger to the cent. The inventory movement reporting is very helpful for our accountant when we close our books. We finally have our processes in control.
The goal of the 2020 project was to lay a solid foundation to support future business growth and to ensure that the company is well positioned to exploit opportunities offered by Cloud, Mobile and AI.
