Vendor Fit

## How the Main Platforms Compare

Qualitative only. 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 We do not publish invented benchmarks.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. We provide a written estimate after a short discovery call.
