Kem Krest Carmel go-live: a celebration of teamwork and tenacity

INSIGHT 2 min read

Kem Krest’s Carmel, Indiana facility has officially gone live on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management (D365 F&SCM)—a milestone that reflects not only technological advancement, but also exceptional teamwork. This achievement was powered by a proven methodology and a well-orchestrated transition of knowledge from the Sikich consulting team to Kem Krest’s core team, ensuring that internal leaders were ready to take the reins with confidence. 

Methodology meets momentum 

Every successful go-live has a backbone, and for Kem Krest, that backbone was a structured methodology. From early planning to CRP cycles to mock go-live to HyperCare, the process was designed to minimize risk and maximize clarity. The result? A smooth transition that kept everyone aligned and confident. 

Sikich project team: above and beyond 

The Sikich project team didn’t just show up, they delivered. Their leadership and expertise turned a complex implementation into a collaborative success story. Highlights include: 

  • Hands-on guidance during critical phases like CRP and go-live. 
  • Empowering Kem Krest leaders to take ownership of processes. 
  • Creative problem-solving that kept the project on track and the energy high. 

Simply put, Sikich didn’t just deliver a system—they delivered confidence, capability, and a culture of success. 

Why this matters 

This go-live isn’t just about technology. It’s about people, partnership, and progress. It’s proof that when strong methodology meets a committed consulting team, the results speak for themselves. 

What’s next? 

With D365 F&SCM now live, Kem Krest is well-positioned to drive greater operational efficiency, improve data visibility, and unlock new opportunities for growth. The next phase of our transformation will focus on moving PRMS to D365, further enhancing process coherence and strengthening Kem Krest’s ability to deliver exceptional service. Building on the success of this go-live, we are confident that the upcoming initiatives will continue to advance the Kem Krest business. 

Congratulations to Kem Krest and Sikich teams for making this happen!
