ERP transformation partnership for a growing B2B packaging company.

Founded as a family-run business, Wessex Packaging has grown to become one of the UK’s leading B2B packaging materials specialists. The company provides a wide range of packaging solutions for businesses across multiple sectors, combining product expertise with customer-focused service to support operational efficiency and growth.

Zenzero partnered with Wessex Packaging to implement a modern, scalable ERP system using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, replacing manual processes and outdated systems to support growth, improve operational visibility, and streamline logistics.

the next success story.

Stronger security. Smoother operations.
Better growth. Yours could be next.
01. CHALLENGE

Outdated systems hindering growth.

Wessex Packaging, one of the UK’s leading B2B packaging specialists, had outgrown its internal systems, which were effectively functioning as glorified spreadsheets. Lack of visibility and control, reliance on manual processes prone to delays and errors, and no scalable pathway for expansion meant the business urgently needed a robust, enterprise-grade ERP solution to support its growth ambitions.

Moving from spreadsheet-based processes to an integrated ERP system enabled Wessex Packaging to improve efficiency, increase visibility, and support rapid business growth.

Zenzero worked closely with Wessex Packaging to modernise operations, automate manual workflows, and deliver a scalable platform built for growth.

02. SOLUTION

Scalable ERP to transform operations.

Zenzero worked closely with Wessex Packaging to deliver a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation tailored to the company’s needs. The project began with detailed discovery and documentation sessions to map current workflows and identify opportunities for automation. Zenzero replaced outdated manual systems with integrated, scalable processes, streamlined operations across finance, inventory, and logistics, and modernised picking procedures by moving from paper-based methods to scanner-driven workflows.

03. OUTCOME

Immediate improvements and a foundation for growth.

The implementation of Business Central delivered measurable benefits, including doubling company output with only a minimal increase in operational costs, achieving a record three months of performance shortly after go-live, and significantly boosting productivity through modernised logistics processes. Wessex now has a scalable ERP foundation that will support future growth and continues to recommend Zenzero as a trusted implementation and support partner.

 

“As soon as we put in Business Central, we’ve doubled the company size and only had 1 or 2% extra cost from the operations side.”
