Benjamin Moore: Painting a colorful
future with maximum scalability
using a two-tier ERP model
Benjamin Moore, a Berkshire Hathaway company, was founded in 1883 and remains one
of the world’s leading paint, color, and coatings brands. A manufacturer of premium
quality residential and commercial coatings, it continues its investments in innovation,
manufacturing capacity, and distribution excellence that have paved the way for
enduring business agility.
Focused on international expansion, the company needed to balance global efficiency
and control while accommodating the local needs of its overseas businesses. With its
operations in the United States running on a modern ERP environment in the private
cloud, Benjamin Moore required more flexibility for both global and local requirements.
Specifically, it wanted to create a scalable business foundation to help it quickly onboard
new business units in Europe.
