FAQ
Frequently asked questions about ERP Systems
Does an SME need an ERP system?
When sales, purchasing, inventory and finance data are scattered across spreadsheets or separate systems and manual reconciliation keeps producing errors, an ERP delivers clear value. Start with one department's workflow and expand to others over time.
How long does an ERP project usually take?
As an indicative range, a single-department workflow takes around 8 to 16 weeks, a cross-department project covering finance, inventory and data migration around 16 to 28 weeks, and a multi-entity setup with custom workflows may exceed 28 weeks.
Should I choose an off-the-shelf ERP such as SAP or Odoo, or a custom build?
Off-the-shelf ERPs cover standard business processes and are continuously updated, suiting most companies. Custom builds suit industries with very unusual workflows. Open-source options such as Odoo sit between the two. Vendors will advise based on your industry and budget.
Can the ERP connect to my accounting software and online store?
Most ERPs can sync orders, inventory and financial data with accounting software, online stores and POS systems through APIs or import and export functions. List your existing systems in the brief so vendors can assess the integration approach.
Which ERP costs are easy to overlook?
Common ones include software licence or subscription fees, charges for additional users, data migration, training, annual maintenance and future customisation. Ask vendors to itemise these so quotations can be compared fairly.
