Fit depends on your processes, users and integrations. **Platform fit at a glance** | Platform | Often strong when | Check carefully | | Zoho | Applications share data, so you can start with one team and add others | Deep manufacturing or project-costing needs may require extra apps or custom work | | Odoo | Broad app catalogue that shares one database | Heavy customisation makes upgrades harder, so scope it carefully | | ERPNext | No per-user licence fee for the software itself | Hosting, upgrades and support need a clear owner | | Microsoft Dynamics 365 | Close integration with Microsoft 365, Power BI and the Power Platform | Licensing is detailed and should be reviewed against your roles | | Custom ERP | Matches unusual processes exactly | Higher upfront effort and long-term maintenance responsibility | Our Approach ## How an Engagement Works The same five stages apply to every platform, so you always know what comes next. **Engagement stages** | Stage | What happens | | 1. Discover | Workshops and process mapping with the people who do the work. We record what happens today, where it breaks and what must not change. | | 2. Scope and propose | A written scope with modules, integrations, data to migrate, roles, assumptions and a phased plan, so cost and effort are visible before you commit. | | 3. Configure and build | Set-up, workflows, approvals, reports and integrations built in a test environment and reviewed with your team in short cycles. | | 4. Test and train | Scenario testing with your own data, role-based training and a go-live checklist agreed with the business owner. | | 5. Go live and support | Cut-over planning, hyper-care after launch and an ongoing support arrangement for changes, users and reports. | Results ## How Success Is Measured We agree measures with you at scoping and compare against your own baseline. We do not publish invented benchmarks. **Success measures** | Measure | How to read it | | Adoption | Share of target users working in the system weekly, compared with your starting point. | | Cycle time | Time from enquiry to quote, order to invoice, or request to approval, measured before and after. | | Data quality | Duplicate, missing or mismatched records found in review samples. | | Reporting effort | Hours spent producing month-end and management reports. | | Control | Approvals, audit trail and access reviews that are in place and being used. | Cost ## What Drives the Cost A realistic budget covers more than licences. These are the components we scope with you. **Cost components of an ERP or CRM project** | Cost component | What drives it | How to keep it in check | | Licences or subscription | Number and type of users, applications or editions, and contract term | Match user types to real roles; start with the modules you need now | | Implementation and configuration | Number of processes, approvals, reports and companies or branches | Fix scope in phases; reuse standard workflows before customising | | Data migration | Volume and quality of customers, items, accounts and open balances | Clean data before loading; agree what history is truly needed | | Integrations | Number of systems, API quality and real-time versus batch needs | Integrate the few that remove manual work first | | Customisation | How far your process differs from the standard product | Challenge each change request; keep upgrades in mind | | Training and change management | Users, roles and languages, plus the time your team can give | Train by role; appoint internal champions | | Support and hosting | Service levels, hosting model, backups and who owns upgrades | Choose support hours that match trading hours | We do not publish fixed prices because cost depends on scope.
