Mid-market manufacturer partnered with Spectrum to address operational and technology gaps in manufacturing. Finance teams manually keyed supplier invoices into ERP. Mismatched PO lines and missing approvals delayed month-end close. Spectrum applied a phased delivery model — 12 weeks — aligning stakeholders, compliance needs, and production cadence. Since 2016, Spectrum has delivered similar programs with managed teams and fixed-cost options.
