Plex Classic to UX Conversion for an Automotive Manufacturer
The Client
An automotive manufacturer operating across multiple Plex environments engaged Venteon Consulting Services to modernize its ERP platform and transition from Plex Classic to Plex UX.
The organization was operating fully within Plex Classic across two existing PCNs and relied heavily on legacy customizations. This created system complexity, inconsistent user experiences, maintenance challenges, and ongoing training difficulties across the business.
The client also sought to improve reporting visibility, leverage enhanced Plex UX functionality, and establish a new PCN dedicated to Finance operations.
Working directly with the Chief Financial Officer, IT Director, Finance team, and internal Plex Systems team, Venteon led the initial six-month conversion and continues to support ongoing enhancements.
The Challenge
The organization faced several modernization and scalability challenges:
- Legacy Plex Environment – Two existing PCNs remained fully dependent on Plex Classic, limiting access to modern functionality and reporting capabilities.
- Heavy Customization Dependency – Legacy customizations increased maintenance requirements, complicated system administration, and created barriers to future upgrades.
- Inconsistent User Experience – Users encountered different processes and system experiences across departments and PCNs.
- Training and Adoption Challenges – The existing environment required additional training and made it difficult to establish consistent system usage.
- Limited Reporting Visibility – Finance and leadership lacked access to the improved reporting tools and functionality available within Plex UX.
- Need for a Finance-Focused PCN – The organization required a new PCN designed specifically to support Accounting and Finance processes.
The client needed a consulting partner capable of leading the conversion, reducing unnecessary customization, aligning processes, and supporting user adoption without disrupting daily operations.
