Australia. Founded in 2019 by seasoned software developer and IT project manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/simoncohen1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Simon Cohen<\/a>, the company primarily helps small and mid-sized manufacturers modernize operations, but also consults professional services agencies and local government institutions. From its Australian base, Cohesis serves clients across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in a sweet spot for Singapore and Manila, and our team is internationally based, so we also work with organizations in New Zealand, the Middle East, and Eastern Asia,\u201d Cohen explains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the IT consultancy was founded in 2019, Cohen\u2019s IT journey started already as a child, when he learned to code by himself on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ZX_Spectrum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">8-bit Spectrum 48k and 128k computers<\/a> \u2013 the UK\u2019s alternatives to the hugely popular Commodore machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was one of those geeky kids who wanted to explore how to code,\u201d he says. \u201cBut my school didn\u2019t have a technology pathway, so after high school, I ended up getting an economics degree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner-v2\">\n    <p class=\"banner-v2__desc\">Gain full control over your manufacturing operation with MRPeasy<\/p>\n    <a class=\"banner-v2__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-event=\"blog_signup_banner_blue\">Try for free<\/a>\n<\/div>\t\t<style>.banner-v2 {\n    float: right;\n    display: flex;\n    flex-direction: column;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    padding: 40px 32px;\n    gap: 16px;\n    width: 356px;\n    height: 205px;\n    background: linear-gradient(199.68deg, #6084E5 13.17%, #5FA7DD 82.1%);\n    border-radius: 4px;\n    margin-left: 12px;\n    margin-bottom: 12px;\n    margin-top: 15px;\n}\n\n@media (max-width: 767.98px) {\n    .banner-v2 {\n         width: 100%;\n         height: 173px;\n         margin-bottom: 0;\n         margin-left: 0;\n    }\n}\n\n.single__content p.banner-v2__desc {\n    margin: 0 !important;\n}\n\np.banner-v2__desc {\n    width: 292px;\n    font-style: normal;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    font-size: 22px;\n    line-height: 29px !important;\n    text-align: center;\n    color: #FFFFFF;\n    margin: 0 !important;\n    order: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.single__content a.banner-v2__link {\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\n}\n\n.single__content a.banner-v2__link:hover {\n    color: #003557 !important;\n}\n\na.banner-v2__link {\n    display: flex;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    width: 181px;\n    height: 51px;\n    padding: 18px 0;\n    border-radius: 4px;\n    background: #003557;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    font-size: 16px;\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\n    text-decoration: none !important;\n    order: 1 !important;\n}\n\n.banner-v2__link:hover {\n    background: white;\n    color: #003557 !important;\n}<\/style>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_developer_turned_manager_turned_entrepreneur\"><\/span>A developer turned manager turned entrepreneur<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simon\u2019s interest in tech and programming did not wane, however. After the dotcom bubble burst in 2000, he decided to dedicate himself to software and started developing solutions for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/inventory-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inventory management<\/a>, purchasing, and other business functions. Soon, he realized that being a programmer in the back office would not satisfy him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDevelopers rarely make it to management positions, but that\u2019s where I wanted to be,\u201d he explains. \u201cSo, I went and did my project management badge, program management badge, and my IT service delivery badge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to this relentless self-development, Simon ended up working for huge organizations like PWC, Thomson Reuters, and UBS, in addition to smaller organizations such as digital marketing agencies and as a General Manager for a Manchester-based tech startup. When he and his wife decided to move to Australia, he joined an Australian accounting firm as Head of IT Consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI did a year there and then decided to set up my own company \u2013 Cohesis,\u201d Cohen says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_project_became_a_turning_point\"><\/span>First project became a turning point<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Cohesis\u2019s earliest projects became a turning point. A manufacturer hired the firm to help select new software, leading Cohen to run a structured comparison of half a dozen systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe looked at five or six different options, compared them side by side, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MRPeasy<\/a> came out on top,\u201d Cohen recalls. That first engagement marked the start of the company\u2019s journey into manufacturing consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cohen was able to draw on his past experience developing warehouse management software and visiting manufacturing plants in the UK and Germany \u2013 including sites for Dimplex heaters and Fisherman\u2019s Friend lozenges \u2013 where he had gained firsthand knowledge of production processes and system needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d spent time on factory floors, seeing how products were made, packaged, and shipped. That gave me a real appreciation of manufacturing processes and how software fits in,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What began as a one-off selection exercise soon evolved into a partnership with MRPeasy and the foundation of a dedicated implementation team. \u201cIn a way, we kind of fell into it \u2013 it wasn\u2019t by plan or design. A customer needed those skills, I had the background to help, and we built a team around it. That\u2019s how Cohesis became an MRPeasy partner,\u201d Cohen says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manufacturers_struggle_with_unsustainable_systems\"><\/span>Manufacturers struggle with unsustainable systems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cohesis typically engages with manufacturers when existing processes and systems have become unsustainable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlanning their manufacturing just becomes too hard. They don\u2019t know where their stock is, they don\u2019t know their costs, and without accurate data, they can\u2019t plan production or ensure profitability,\u201d Cohen explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of these companies still rely on spreadsheets or outdated legacy tools \u2013 systems that, as Cohen puts it, \u201cend up costing them more money than what they thought they were saving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this, Cohesis has developed a structured but flexible implementation approach. For clients already committed to MRPeasy, Cohesis offers three levels of service: <em>done by you<\/em> (with coaching), <em>done with you<\/em> (a collaborative model), and <em>done by us<\/em> (a full-service implementation). For those still evaluating, Cohesis runs tailored software selection or validation projects to confirm the right fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Success_is_when_client_feels_confident_using_the_new_system\"><\/span>Success is when client feels confident using the new system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All projects follow a proven Discover \u2192 Transform \u2192 Embed methodology. The discovery stage involves mapping processes and preparing data; transformation covers configuration, data migration, integrations, and tailored training; and embedding focuses on testing, go-live, and hypercare. \u201cSuccess for us is when a client feels confident using MRPeasy on their own and it becomes embedded in their culture,\u201d Cohen notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While MRPeasy is Cohesis\u2019s most common recommendation, the firm works independently and has experience integrating CRM, finance, and other tools into a connected application ecosystem. \u201cOne tool is never a perfect utopia,\u201d Cohen says. \u201cOur role is to help manufacturers join the dots between the systems they already have and the ones they need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Projects_are_not_without_challenges\"><\/span>Projects are not without challenges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Cohesis has a proven implementation process, projects are not without challenges. \u201cMainly it\u2019s how busy clients are \u2013 sometimes it\u2019s difficult getting the necessary data, and getting the client to put in the time,\u201d says Cohen. Unexpected delays often arise when key people go on leave, get pulled into urgent business, or even leave the company. These gaps slow down discovery and configuration work, which depend on accurate data and active client involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cohen recalls one project where everything was configured, tested, and staff trained, only for the client to repeatedly postpone go-live. \u201cWe were meant to go live in March, then it slipped to April, then June, then July. At that point, we had to charge a fee \u2013 it was just ridiculous,\u201d he says. In another case, last-minute requirements surfaced after the project scope had been agreed upon, forcing the team to backtrack and reassess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When these challenges arise, Cohesis manages them with clear communication, governance, and stakeholder engagement. \u201cLife happens and you just have to manage it as best you can,\u201d Cohen explains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_partnership_built_on_trust_and_responsiveness\"><\/span>A partnership built on trust and responsiveness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cohen emphasizes that the partnership with MRPeasy is built on trust and responsiveness. \u201cI\u2019d like to think that Cohesis is a very safe pair of hands \u2013 we don\u2019t let MRPeasy down, and we don\u2019t let the clients down,\u201d he says. The company not only delivers implementations but also extends the ecosystem with its own custom integrations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re building technology that extends the capability of MRPeasy in ways we know manufacturers want. It lets us leverage our existing tools and align them with MRPeasy,\u201d Cohen explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to project completion, Cohesis provides around 10 days of aftercare as the software is deployed, addressing issues and fine-tuning processes. After that, additional support is optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cMost clients don\u2019t feel they need it and for me, that\u2019s a good thing. It means they\u2019re confident with the system,\u201d Cohen notes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_typical_project_takes_3-4_months\"><\/span>A typical project takes 3-4 months<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2019, Cohesis has completed around 20 MRPeasy implementations. \u201cSome clients have had multiple implementations across different territories, so it adds up,\u201d Cohen maintains. \u201cAnd typically, an implementation takes somewhere between three to four months from start to finish, so they\u2019re fairly big pieces of work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of project cost, Cohesis works across a wide range. \u201cIt completely varies,\u201d says Cohen. \u201cIf the client just does it with us validating their approach, it can be 5,000-6,000 Australian dollars. If it\u2019s a full-scale project \u2013 integrating with CRM, finance, maybe e-commerce, data migration, data cleansing \u2013 it could be up to A$35,000. An implementation isn\u2019t just an MRPeasy implementation; it\u2019s about how MRPeasy fits into the client\u2019s whole application ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, most projects fall within a predictable bracket. \u201cMost of our implementations are sub-20K,\u201d Cohen explains. \u201cTypically, they\u2019re around 15 to 20K Aussie dollars \u2013 that\u2019s about average complexity and size.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Data_is_key_to_running_a_successful_manufacturing_operation\"><\/span>Data is key to running a successful manufacturing operation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked which MRPeasy features stand out the most, Cohen doesn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cOne of the things that really stands out is the reporting. There\u2019s a whole load of reports in there, and that\u2019s what clients want \u2013 data.&nbsp; We\u2019re currently working with one client with a 60-day data shadow \u2013 they only get information 60 days after the event in terms of their financials. I mean, that\u2019s crazy. How do you run a business like that? We try to solve that problem by giving them real-time data and great reporting, and that\u2019s where MRPeasy delivers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cohen also points to the balance of functionality across the system. \u201cIt does inventory management well, but it also does the actual manufacturing part of the process, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/production-scheduling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">production schedule<\/a>. For people used to spreadsheets, it can feel like a lot of information. But with a bit of training, they get it. And then they see how it really maps out the production process. That\u2019s important because you need to see the reality of what you can actually do. And MRPeasy does that really well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner-v1\">\n    <div class=\"banner__text\">\n        <div class=\"banner-v1__title\">Your manufacturing business deserves effective software<\/div>\n        <div class=\"banner-v1__desc\">MRPeasy users report a 67% average increase in inventory tracking accuracy and a 54% improvement in operational efficiency.<\/div>\n        <div><a class=\"banner-v1__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-event=\"blog_signup_banner_white\">Try for free<\/a><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"banner__img\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/mrpeasy\/assets\/images\/banner.svg\" alt=\"banner\">\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_all_systems_are_built_equal\"><\/span>Not all systems are built equal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s not just about having features \u2013 it\u2019s about how they\u2019re built. \u201cMany other pieces of software have similar features, but how well those features are crafted and how robust they are make the difference,\u201d Cohen explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, he highlights the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/resources\/api\/\">API<\/a>. \u201cNot all APIs are built the same, but MRPeasy\u2019s is robust. We often extend little things from MRPeasy for clients, and the API makes that possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cohesis\u2019s work across multiple industries also keeps the team exposed to various developments. \u201cWe do a lot of work in local government here, and I do a lot with Microsoft 365, so we stay informed on those areas. We\u2019re sensitive to what\u2019s happening in supply chains, we try to stay ahead of technology trends, and we\u2019re members of some industry groups. But honestly, one of the best sources of information is our clients. By really talking to them, we get a direct view of what\u2019s going on in their industries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You may also like: <a
