Global ERP S4/HANA Transformation — Customer Service Strategy

Transforming complexity into customer clarity.

A global coatings company needed to align customer service operations during a complex ERP rollout that exposed major process and visibility gaps.

Challenge

Disparate systems and manual workflows created bottlenecks and inconsistent service quality across multiple regions. Leadership lacked unified visibility into customer operations.

Approach

Drawing on the analytical and governance techniques that now form the CX™ framework, Kaleidoscope worked with cross-functional teams to define customer-service standards, map critical touchpoints, and design data-driven dashboards to harmonize decision-making.

A global medical device company sought to rebalance production and sourcing networks to improve cost efficiency, asset utilization, and customer service across multiple regions.

Challenge

The client faced high distribution costs, fragmented supplier relationships, and inefficiencies across regional operations. Their network structure lacked transparency and adaptability to growth and volatility.

Approach

Kaleidoscope applied its integrated customer-experience and operational-excellence practices — the early foundation of today’s CX™ and KIMS™ methods — to assess asset performance, supplier economics, and logistics flows. Through advanced scenario modeling and cross-functional workshops, the team designed a new operating model balancing service levels, cost, and resilience.
