The Business Challenge
The business situation the organisation faced before the project began.
The organization adopted a custom ERP platform originally developed for operations in Vietnam. However, the system was fully designed around Vietnamese language, workflows, and business practices.
To support rapid retail expansion in Indonesia, the platform required significant localization to ensure usability, process alignment, and operational adoption by local teams.
Key challenges included:
Vietnamese-only user interfaces and documentation.
Differences in operational and business processes between countries.
User adoption risks during large-scale rollout.
Need for standardized operations across a growing retail network.
Requirement to support rapid store expansion without disrupting business activities.
The company needed a scalable and localized ERP environment capable of supporting long-term growth in Indonesia.
