•  Enterprise Software Selection & Implementation

As a business manager choosing your next main transactional system is one of the biggest decisions that you will ever take.  

Cyprus has a record of failed Enterprise Software implementations and many businesses are littered with systems that will never return on their investment.  Unfortunately it is a complex subject and vendors offer a bewildering array of platforms, interfaces and functionality. Much of the functionality may look impressive but in a small country too often vendors simply do not have the skills or the business understanding to employ these functions or often they will not have a real, practical application in your business. In other cases the software has not been designed for your size of operation and you will never be able to afford the resources to administer and support it.

At Locii we have experience of many Enterprise systems and can offer independent advice on what your requirements realistically are, match these with the functionality offered by your target systems and asses the skills of the implementation team.

Successful Enterprise system implementation must be approached in a highly disciplined manner with detailed analysis and careful planning throughout.  We have many years experience of project managing transactional system implementations and have joined the implementation team or taken on the project management role in several local implementations.

•  Portfolio Analysis


Are you selling the right products to the right customers ?

We all know that as a company adds more and more SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) it will eventually drown in its own complexity. On the other hand if you only have one product and you add a second you will probably make more money.

Deciding which products to keep, which to drop, which to focus on and which new ones to go for, is the most challenging subject any company faces.

Locii has years of international experience at Portfolio planning. Whilst we have worked with one of the world’s largest companies in this area at the same time have completed projects with several small Cypriot companies and can offer rapid, cost effective advice relevant to the Cypriot market.   

•  Planning and Forecasting

Most products in Cyprus are imported and therefore have long and irregular lead times. It is evident from observing supermarket shelves that many companies are constantly going through out of stock and overstock cycles. This leads to lost sales, customer dissatisfaction, out of date stock, and adds complexity and frustration across the organization.   With consumers demanding more variety, increasing levels of promotional activity and product shelf life reducing, these problems are only going to increase for Cypriot businesses.

At Locii we believe that excellent planning and forecasting systems will be one of the key factors that will determine which companies survive in Cyprus as the presence of the multinationals increases.

Locii advises some of the biggest companies in Cyprus in the areas of Planning and Forecasting.

•  Financial & Management Reporting

Operating a company without management reporting is like flying a plane without instruments.

At Locii we have experience at advising on and setting up management and financial reporting systems in companies of all sizes. We concentrate on practical solutions that fit the company size and budget. This can range from simple spreadsheets to complex KPI (Key Performance Indicator) reporting, business dashboards, multi dimension financial reporting and forecasting.

Locii Solutions specialises in implementing Business Intelligence systems under the brand locii-Insight with operations in Cyprus and the UK.
