Systems & Processes

Systems & Processes
Our Systems & Processes service line provides holistic, solution-agnostic delivery capabilities from strategic analysis of your business’s operations and IT landscape to reimagine your business model, through to execution of transformational business change.
We deliver optimised business processes supported by fit-for-purpose systems that are intelligently designed, effectively deployed, and fully adopted by your people, leading to measurable business benefits. Legacy systems often slow growth, hinder customer experiences, and create manual work. Fluid’s experienced consultants tackle these issues by blending people, process, and technology improvements into a tailored solution.
In practice, this can mean anything from re-engineering a broken process or implementing automation, to selecting and deploying a new enterprise system. The end result is streamlined operations, improved customer experiences, happier employees, better data visibility, and a stronger foundation for your business’s strategic goals

Systems Gap
Analysis
We perform a structured gap analysis of your existing systems against your business requirements. This involves assessing the capabilities of your current software in detail and identifying where there are shortfalls. We speak with your business users to understand needs and pain points, and we review system configurations and usage.
The outcome is a clear list of gaps, and for each we provide recommendations – which might include working with your system vendor on enhancements or reconfiguration, custom development to fill the gap, or if necessary, planning for a new system. We also ensure that even if you aren’t replacing the system, you have a roadmap to improve it.
Process Mapping & Pain Points Analysis
We frequently do deep process mapping exercises, where our business analysts document your current processes – often by shadowing users and facilitating workshops. We identify pain points, inefficiencies, and root causes in these processes.
By the end, you will have a visual understanding of your workflows and a set of targeted improvements. Deliverables: process flow diagrams, lists of identified pain points with their impact, and an improvement plan, with each improvement tied to measurable outcomes.
"Spec and Select"
Process
Need to choose a new system or tool? This is one of Fluid’s core specialties. If the solution to your problem requires procuring new software (for example, replacing a legacy ERP or finding a system for a process that currently has none), we run a structured Spec & Select process
Our Spec & Select methodology is designed to de-risk system decisions and has been refined through many successful selections. It saves immense time and helps avoid costly mistakes.
Solution Design & Point Solution Development
Filling the gaps with targeted solutions. Sometimes the answer isn’t solely “new big system” or “old system configuration” – there might be smaller-scale solutions needed to address specific gaps. In these cases, Fluid can design and deliver point solutions using modern, agile technologies.
Essentially, we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty and build a solution for you when off-the-shelf options aren’t available or viable.
Mission Critical Project Delivery
When the stakes are high, clients turn to Fluid to ensure their most strategically important projects are delivered with precision, professionalism, and confidence. Our Mission Critical Project Delivery service is designed for those rare but pivotal moments—such as implementing a new ERP system or launching a major transformation programme—where success is non-negotiable.
We embed ourselves within your organisation, acting as trusted delivery partners who understand the strategic importance of the work. Our professionals bring clarity, control, and confidence—ensuring that your mission critical initiatives are delivered on time, on budget, and with the intended impact.
Professional Change Management Services
At Fluid, we help clients bridge the gap between solution implementation and real-world adoption. Our Professional Change Management Services are designed to ensure that the benefits of your transformation are not just theoretical—but fully realised across your organisation.
We use structured change management techniques to engage stakeholders, manage resistance, and embed new ways of working. Whether you're rolling out a new system, restructuring teams, or launching a new service line, we ensure that your people are supported, engaged, and ready to embrace change.
