The Challenge
As the business expanded across food, beverage, and healthcare product lines, managing operations through Microsoft NAV, MYOB AccountRight, and Shopify became increasingly complex. Teams were spending days reconciling data between systems, manually tracking inventory batches, and re-keying purchase orders and production runs.
Key Pain Points:
Manual data entry across finance, purchasing, and payroll. No central visibility of stock, production, or sales. Manual reporting for alcohol excise and export documentation. Limited support and scalability of legacy systems.
The Solution
Wild Hibiscus partnered with Stratus Consulting Group to implement MYOB Advanced (Acumatica) — a fully integrated, cloud-based ERP connecting every part of the business. The rollout included: Replacement of Microsoft NAV and AccountRight Payroll with MYOB Advanced and MYOB Advanced People. Automation of procurement and production, including automatic creation of kit assemblies from sales orders. Integration with Shopify for web orders and EveXso WMS for warehouse management. Customised excise and export reporting, eliminating manual compliance work. A unified general ledger and payroll environment for all entities and brands.
