The DelmiaWorks IQMS Implementation project was a strategic digital transformation initiative designed to eliminate siloed data and manual processes that were hindering operational efficiency and decision-making.
Prior to implementation, the organization relied on disconnected spreadsheets across departments, leading to data inconsistencies, delayed reporting, and increased risk of human error. The new ERP system created a single source of truth, enabling real-time visibility into critical business metrics.
Key Transformation Outcomes

- Real-time operational insights across manufacturing, sales, and inventory management
- Automated data synchronization reducing manual data entry by 75%
- Enhanced decision-making through comprehensive, instantaneous business intelligence
- Improved data accuracy and compliance with integrated reporting capabilities

The trust of our clients is our greatest asset. Hear directly from one of our valued partners about how we collaborated to find a meaningful solution tailored to their unique challenges.
"Buchanan Solutions brought us from legacy systems to a modern ERP system in 16months."
Before Buchanan Solutions, our team was spending over 4 hours daily manually maintaining spreadsheets, performing repetitive data entry, and struggling to keep our information accurate. Despite these intensive efforts, we were still not performing optimally, with constant data inconsistencies and limited insights into our business operations.
From contract negotiation to implementation, their team was methodical and collaborative. They conducted a comprehensive discovery, identifying strengths and weaknesses before designing and implementing an ERP solution that met our unique business needs.
Sixteen months after our first meeting, we launched a transformed digital ecosystem that not only met our needs but exceeded our expectations. The migration was seamless, with minimal business disruption.
