He said it had been sitting on returns for some weeks and products were not being packaged correctly, which has led to more returns.
Stuart Fenton, EMEA president at Insight, said: "We've had a handful of teething problems, a few client orders that didn't go out on next day delivery. But it is a minute volume compared to daily shipments."
He said Insight was now "pretty close to normal operations" in terms of placing orders [with suppliers] and shipping consignments.
"It is perfectly normal for a company like ours to put in a new ERP system that gives us a world class platform which positions us for the future.
"It provides us with better platform for project management as well as cloud and mobile services," he said. ®
