A seven-month implementation gives the manufacturer easier access to the information behind everyday decisions 

For Tournesol Siteworks, the goal was clear: make business information easier to access and use. With Oracle NetSuite and Bring IT, the manufacturer gained greater visibility into its data and a more practical way to investigate the questions behind everyday decisions. 

The team completed its initial implementation in seven months. Tournesol’s leaders credit Bring IT’s project management and understanding of their business with keeping the work focused and moving forward.

The challenge of turning data into answers

As Tournesol grew, its existing system made it difficult for leaders to get useful information out of the business. Data was available, but accessing it was not straightforward. That limited how readily teams could use it to support day-to-day decisions.

Tournesol wanted a system that was easier to navigate and could help users explore the information behind a result. For finance and operations leaders, the priority was greater transparency and a clearer understanding of what was happening across the business.

A partner who understood the business

Tournesol’s manufacturing model required a team willing to understand its custom work and the processes behind it. Annette Melin highlighted how quickly Bring IT learned what made the business distinctive and took that understanding into the implementation.

Bring IT paired that business understanding with disciplined project management. The team kept stakeholders on task, gathered the information needed to move forward, and maintained a clear scope. Ideas for additional improvements were captured for future phases, helping Tournesol stay focused on the initial rollout.

Greater transparency for everyday decisions

With NetSuite, Tournesol’s leaders can drill into business information and follow it back to its source. Annette described the increased transparency as the realization of the goal that first motivated her to pursue the project. Pinal Mehta likewise pointed to the ease of finding information and using it in everyday decisions.

What changed for Tournesol

The next dream

Tournesol’s next ambition is to build on that visibility by making fuller use of NetSuite in production. The team wants to strengthen how operational information is captured and use its partnership with Bring IT to support further improvements in efficiency and productivity.

Better visibility gives Tournesol a foundation for its next stage of improvement.
