Leading Scientific Tree and Shrub Care Company Implements Oracle Cloud ERP
The Situation before Oracle ERP Cloud
A leading scientific tree and shrub care company with more than 300 offices worldwide helps both residential and commercial customers maintain beautiful landscapes and healthy trees. The client had been running its business effectively with Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), however some modules were not enabled causing functionality gaps. They sought a single source of truth in a cloud-based platform.
The client selected Oracle Cloud ERP to accommodate its unique business processes. The implementation project successfully enabled them to migrate the entire back office to a cloud-based solution and sunset custom-developed applications. They were also able to leverage Oracle’s AP Automation, which will drive efficiencies within their AP processes.

For this, we needed Oracle to support our acquisition strategy and improve our scale and automation - I'm confident that we're now ready for the next stage of our storied history.”
