Tesla Motors, a manufacturer of high-end electric automobiles, had made the decision to install SAP ERP software in 2006, and hired a firm to provide these services. The installation was delayed and the final cut-over, in April 2007, was well below the Company's expectations. Atlas Systems was brought in to assess the deficiencies of the Tesla Store (SM/SD modules) and repair them.
Our engineering team performed an assessment and discovery process, and determined a series of steps that would bring the Tesla Store into conformation with the firm's requirements and industry best practices. Tesla Motors is unique in that the Company sells vehicles direct to the public rather than the usual franchised dealer model.
This retrofit project accomplished the task of getting the Tesla Store up and running, providing a fully-integrated point-of-sale system, proper reporting tools to monitor sales of vehicles, parts and services and documentation and training materials for operation purposes.
