To address these challenges, KPD partnered with Cactus to start a transformative digital project. Using Cactus’s LEAP methodology, we conducted a thorough analysis of KPD’s business needs and its customers’ expectations. By collaborating closely with KPD’s internal teams, we ensured a deep understanding of the ERP system’s existing architecture and functionality. Our hybrid team model—where Cactus experts worked alongside KPD’s in-house team—provided the necessary agility and external technical perspective without increasing KPD’s overhead.
Cactus first approached the project as a Digital Transformation initiative, redesigning the technical architecture to prepare for the cloud migration. In the next phase, we moved into Software Product Development, refactoring two ERP modules both functionally and technically to meet the needs of modern users while keeping KPD’s existing customer base in mind.
Hybrid teams were the key to success, allowing KPD to benefit from fresh technical insights while keeping a tight grip on their product’s evolution. This collaboration also enabled KPD to maintain ongoing service to existing customers by running parallel projects—improving the current software while preparing the cloud-based upgrade.
