Beyond rip and replace: Smarter operational transformation

Rising customer expectations, inflationary pressures, supply chain complexity, and aging technology environments are forcing organizations to find new ways to improve performance while continuing to invest in growth. To keep pace, many manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other inventory-intensive businesses are rethinking how they manage inventory, operations, and data without taking on the cost and disruption of major system replacements.

Join Grant Thornton and MCA Connect, a Grant Thornton US company, as we explore how organizations are improving inventory visibility, increasing operational efficiency, and gaining more timely, actionable insights to support better business decisions. We'll examine practical approaches to optimizing inventory management, streamlining supply chain and warehouse operations, enhancing planning and forecasting capabilities, and extending the value of existing ERP and operational systems.

Through real-world examples, including the transformation journey of James River Equipment, a John Deere dealer, attendees will gain actionable strategies for improving operational performance, strengthening resilience, and building a foundation for future AI and automation initiatives without replacing core systems.
