Goals

Following its acquisition of a large competitor, APCOA UK needed to establish a single financial application and deploy an effective procurement system for its newly enlarged business. Due to the terms of the acquisition, both projects had to be completed against tight deadlines.

Charteris’ Role

Charteris reviewed APCOA UK’s requirements for a procurement package and helped the company to source an appropriate solution that could be implemented within the available time. The consultants then handled all day-to-day communication with the software vendor, managed the implementation and created a training programme for over 200 employees. For the financial application migration, Charteris fulfilled a similar project management role.

Results

The two initiatives were completed on schedule, and APCOA UK is certain that the services provided by Charteris contributed strongly to the success of both projects. APCOA UK now has a single financial solution and a modern, integrated procurement system across its entire UK business. Thanks to the comprehensive training provided, employees have adapted well to the new systems.
