Our Approach

How an Engagement Works

The same five stages apply to every platform, so you always know what comes next.

Engagement stages
StageWhat happens
1. DiscoverWorkshops 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 proposeA 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 buildSet-up, workflows, approvals, reports and integrations built in a test environment and reviewed with your team in short cycles.
4. Test and trainScenario testing with your own data, role-based training and a go-live checklist agreed with the business owner.
5. Go live and supportCut-over planning, hyper-care after launch and an ongoing support arrangement for changes, users and reports.

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 componentWhat drives itHow to keep it in check
Licences or subscriptionNumber and type of users, applications or editions, and contract termMatch user types to real roles; start with the modules you need now
Implementation and configurationNumber of processes, approvals, reports and companies or branchesFix scope in phases; reuse standard workflows before customising
Data migrationVolume and quality of customers, items, accounts and open balancesClean data before loading; agree what history is truly needed
IntegrationsNumber of systems, API quality and real-time versus batch needsIntegrate the few that remove manual work first
CustomisationHow far your process differs from the standard productChallenge each change request; keep upgrades in mind
Training and change managementUsers, roles and languages, plus the time your team can giveTrain by role; appoint internal champions
Support and hostingService levels, hosting model, backups and who owns upgradesChoose support hours that match trading hours

We do not publish fixed prices because cost depends on scope. We provide a written estimate after a short discovery call.
