Dot Foods approached CadDo to look to replace their existing profitability management solution based on a legacy activity based costing (ABC) model. The legacy solution had two key problems:
- It had failed to scale up as the business grew over time, causing excessive performance degradation. End-to-end processing for a single period was taking 24 hours. Significant time was being wasted not only on processing, but also operating the solution and users having to deal with extremely slow reports. All at the expense of focussing on results and making decisions.
- It had failed to meet the flexibility and responsiveness needs of the business. This meant model change requests kept piling up and often quick and suboptimal options were chosen when making changes due to technical and time constraints.
Our review of the existing solution and gap-analysis confirmed that we could migrate the existing solution onto CadDo’s Microsoft Azure based scalable platform.
