As Burn was quickly scaling its operations, it was finding that it was outgrowing its basic systems. Burn’s top priority was implementing an ERP system to power its growth. Burn partnered with Rippleworks to identify and prioritize requirements, evaluate options, and create an implementation plan.
What has stood out to me is the elite quality of their experts combined with Rippleworks’ ability to manage the projects so smoothly.
It’s a challenge to align expectations when someone is volunteering their time, but Rippleworks manages it to perfection allowing everyone to work harmoniously together towards the same goal.
We’re operating at a higher level since the project and we’d do another with them in a heartbeat.
—Burn CEO Peter Scott
