Choose the right ERP System
Looking for expert guidance in selecting the right ERP system for your company? Our ERP selection consulting service can help streamline the process and ensure you make the best decision for your business.
Choosing the wrong ERP system is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
Choosing the appropriate ERP software for your business requires careful consideration and evaluation. Rushed and uninformed decisions can result in high follow-up costs, demoralized employees, stagnant work processes, and even the potential loss of the company. Therefore, it is crucial to approach the decision-making process with adequate knowledge and consideration.
When does an ERP selection consulting makes sense?
For companies, especially those that have been in operation for many years, selecting the right ERP software can be challenging. Often, they lack the necessary expertise in this area and have a patchwork of incompatible software solutions that have been added over time. Employees can become entrenched in familiar systems, making it difficult to adapt to a new ERP program. This can lead to a prolonged decision-making process with an overemphasis on less important functions while crucial features are overlooked. In these cases, it may be wise to consider ERP selection consulting to ensure a well-informed and effective decision.
In order to prevent all of this, our experts support you in the ERP selection and determine the most suitable ERP system for your company using a standardised selection procedure.

Our Selection proccess
- Define business requirements: The first step is to define the business requirements and processes that the ERP system needs to support. This involves gathering input from different departments and stakeholders to identify key features and functionalities that are essential for the business.
- Create a shortlist of potential vendors: Based on the identified requirements, a shortlist of potential vendors is created. This list can be generated through industry research, referrals, and recommendations from consultants.
- Evaluate vendor solutions: The next step involves evaluating the solutions offered by each vendor on the shortlist. This evaluation process should include product demonstrations, feature comparisons, and discussions with vendor representatives.
- Conduct reference checks: Once the vendor solutions have been evaluated, it is important to conduct reference checks with existing customers of the vendor. This step can provide valuable insights into the vendor’s ability to deliver on promises and provide effective support.
- Finalize vendor selection: After completing the evaluation process and reference checks, a final decision on the vendor selection is made. This decision should take into account factors such as product fit, vendor experience, support capabilities, and total cost of ownership.
- Negotiate contract and implementation plan: The final step is to negotiate the contract with the selected vendor and develop an implementation plan. The contract should clearly define the scope of the project, timelines, costs, and other key terms and conditions. The implementation plan should outline the steps involved in deploying the ERP system, including data migration, training, and testing.
