Testimonials

Oxitec engaged Lumenia to find a suitable ERP system for our Brazilian production facility. As we did not have the knowledge of suitable systems ourselves, and given there was an urgency to this key objective, the Lumenia team worked with us to review the options and worked with us to implement the chosen ERP system for Brazil.

Lumenia Consulting also led the implementation of the same ERP system in the UK, including a finance system to replace the basic one used for many years and a Quality Management system to address our requirements as a regulated business. 

The Lumenia team has supported us through this process, from first steps to the handover to system support, working across many countries and with colleagues from scientific and accounting backgrounds.

From my experience of Lumenia, I would highly recommend them to lead a similar process to bring systems up to date.

Paul Crotty, Global Finance Director

Lumenia provided us with both project management and testing support at various stages during our implementation. They provided guidance and insight to the team on the activities required for a successful ERP implementation as well as providing templates and advice that supported effective and successful completion of those activities. Their ability to provide clarity, structure and direction to the ERP team around the testing process was excellent. I would be happy to recommend Lumenia on other projects.

Denis Sweeney, ERP Project Manager

Hutchinsons engaged Lumenia to guide us through the selection of an ERP solution.

The Lumenia process was clear and easy to follow and the approach was very structured. The consultant was very approachable and he worked well with our team. He dealt with the vendors in a firm but fair fashion. The tools used by Lumenia were very helpful in analysing the responses to the tender document. We believe Lumenia helped deliver the right solution for our business and we had no hesitation in engaging the consultant to lead the implementation phase of the project

Richard Johnson, Finance Director

Havwoods approached Lumenia to assist us select an ERP solution and Implementation partner to deliver a solution across all our sites in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. This is one of the largest projects undertaken by our business which is expanding rapidly across the world.

One of our key criteria for engaging with Lumenia was to ensure that there was a good cultural fit between Lumenia and our teams in the UK and other locations. We feel that this was very successful and it helped us ensure that we had a high level of engagement and excitement from the selection team throughout the process.

The Lumenia Selection process was a phased approach with clear steps and deliverables over an agreed timeline. The project phases and planning of the required Havwoods resources was communicated clearly to us throughout. The project collateral generated as outputs from each stage of the process were clear and of a very high standard with great attention to detail. From the benefits analysis to the final review of the vendors there was a consistent feel and quality to the process.

The Lumenia people added further value to the whole project. Our principal consultant gave us fantastic level of service. His knowledge of every area of the business was admirable.

Overall the selection process has been extremely valuable to us. We feel that the selection project will help to remind us of the rationale for selecting the successful ERP solution and implementation partner in the future. It will also mitigate risk and help guarantee that we have a successful implementation as we proceed to the next phase of the project.

First class organisation, first class process, first class people resulting in a first class experience.

Edward Eagle, Operations Director

Lumenia came to us with a clear, methodical approach to developing a Business System Strategy. Their consultants were excellent at eliciting information and asking the right questions and they were quick to understand our complex software landscape. They worked extremely well with our team and ensured that the project execution was best-suited to our needs amidst challenging time and budgetary constraints.

Overall the process has been extremely valuable to us, and Lumenia’s work will stand us in good stead. They developed the strategy much more quickly than we could have ourselves and their process has helped us to bring internal resources on board with the changes to come. It has provided us with crucial insight into the level of commitment, feedback and time needed to progress.

Donna Lipsky, Director of Operations

I have very much enjoyed working closely with Lumenia throughout this engagement and hope to do so again in the future on other engagements. The selection of a credible consultancy partner was critical, as this type of detailed ERP review had never previously been carried out in the business. Lumenia met and exceeded my expectations and delivered a very successful review which gained high praise across the group.

Darrin Shaw, Head of ICT Services

Fuller’s engaged Lumenia to manage our ERP selection process and now that the project has successfully concluded I can reflect on what a good decision this was. Lumenia’s selection process is rigorous, structured and fair and provided the objectivity and detail to give our senior management team confidence. A number of the Lumenia consulting team were involved in the project and each of them was excellent and also had the ability to adapt to our culture. Fuller’s has complete trust in the team and in fact has re-engaged Lumenia to provide Project and Business Change Management services during the ERP implementation process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lumenia to other companies and have already done so on a couple of occasions.

Bronwen White, Head of IT Development

When we made the decision that our ERP needed replacing, we very quickly came to the realization that the selection was not something we were qualified to carry out alone. We opened a tender to select a partner to help us through the ERP RFP process. Lumenia immediately stuck out because they were an experienced consultancy that focused on ERP, were independent and well respected by the market.

Lumenia's process was very detailed, thorough and objective and the vendor candidates really stood to attention when Lumenia instructed them. We are delighted that we selected Lumenia. Our tender was more thorough than it could ever have been on our own. We know that the savings in implementation costs and ongoing licence fees, which we have negotiated under Lumenia's stewardship, have covered their cost several times over. Ultimately the specifications given to our selected vendor will deliver a far more comprehensive solution and limit the opportunity for change requests.

Neil Gribben, Vice President, Accounting & Control

Our ERP project stalled as we lacked both consensus on the best way to move forward and the resources to do it.Selecting Lumenia to guide us through the critical vendor selection process eliminated many obstacles and propelled us rapidly from selection to implementation. Lumenia’s well-defined and agnostic approach aligned all stakeholders to a process that identified points of pain and key deliverables, and, most importantly, identified the ERP system that will be the cornerstone of our business for many years to come.

Ian Wilkinson, Operations Manager

Pep&Co engaged Lumenia to help us to source and implement our entire business systems and IT needs for our start-up retail business. This included ERP, POS, partner integration, head office and store infrastructure. The project moved from greenfield to store openings in an aggressive timeframe. We grew from a team of three to a 50 store operation in less than a year. Our business systems were a fundamental part of enabling this and Lumenia’s support and project management was integral to achieving this goal.
