When two independent Pacific Northwest breweries made the bold decision to merge, they were faced with a daunting challenge: complete the merger in just six months. But with the help of the Percipio team, they were able to tackle the task head-on.
Our team got to work identifying the key risks and priorities, then communicated these findings to the executive team. We developed a comprehensive integration plan that included implementing new ERP requirements, streamlining financial controls, and aligning organizational changes. By evaluating business processes, we identified best practices and opportunities for improvement in both process and alignment.
Thanks to our approach, the breweries successfully navigated the challenging transitions, moving to a common ERP platform and establishing clear roles and responsibilities post-merger. We even conducted roadshows across sites to make sure everyone was on board with the changes well in advance of the merger. Overall, Percipio played a pivotal role in creating a solid foundation for the new publicly traded entity.
“The Percipio team played an absolutely critical role in the successful merger of our two companies. The team worked well with our employees, pushed hard to meet deadlines, and held themselves to a high professional standard. I would highly recommend them for program management, IT implementation management, and process redesign work.”
