ERP Implementation Services

Implementation cost is driven by how many entities and sites go live, which modules are in scope — manufacturing, warehouse, quality and EDI each add materially — how clean your master data is, and how many systems have to integrate. Each phase is scoped fixed-price after a free operations discovery session. Platform licences are paid direct to the vendor and are not marked up.

Ten to sixteen weeks for a single entity with a focused module set. Four to seven months when manufacturing or warehouse operations are in scope. Eight to fourteen months for multi-site programmes, phased so finance and inventory go live early rather than everything waiting on one date.

Odoo suits mid-market companies wanting broad functionality at a reasonable licence cost with real customisation freedom. ERPNext suits teams that want open source with no licence fee at all. Business Central fits companies already committed to Microsoft. NetSuite fits multi-entity organisations wanting a fully managed cloud suite. We take no reseller commission on any of them, so the recommendation is based on fit and five-year total cost.

It is a written document listing every one of your processes against whether the platform handles it out of the box, with configuration, or only with custom development — plus the cost of closing each gap. Without one, scope is discovered during the build, which is exactly how ERP projects end up 40% over budget in month five.

No, and we recommend against it. Phased rollout — typically finance and inventory first, then purchasing and sales, then manufacturing or warehouse — means a wrong assumption costs you one module rather than your quarter. Big-bang is only sensible when integration dependencies genuinely make phasing impossible, which is rarer than vendors suggest.

Yes, and it is a regular engagement. We audit the current configuration, data quality, integration state and where the original scope diverged from your actual process, then produce a costed recovery plan separating what is salvageable from what needs rebuilding. Frequently the fastest path is cleaning master data and re-scoping one module rather than starting over.
