ERP & Digital Transformation Strategy

ERP Selection, Implementation & Digital Transformation Strategy

Expert guidance on ERP selection, RFP development, vendor negotiation, and implementation oversight—ensuring you choose the right system and execute successfully.

ERP implementation is one of the largest IT investments a manufacturer makes. Choose the wrong system, and you'll struggle for years. Implement poorly, and you won't realize value for 18-24 months.

Yet most manufacturers:

  • Evaluate vendors based on feature lists, not manufacturing-specific capabilities
  • Underestimate implementation complexity (it's 2-3x the software cost)
  • Lack internal expertise to evaluate and negotiate with enterprise vendors
  • Don't have a clear post-go-live optimization strategy

We Help With:

  • Vendor Evaluation: We assess your requirements and evaluate 3-6 vendors against manufacturing-specific criteria
  • RFP Development: Create compelling RFP that vendors respond to competitively
  • Vendor Negotiation: We negotiate contract terms, pricing, implementation services, and support commitments (typical savings: 15-25% vs. initial quotes)
  • Go-Live Governance: Oversee implementation to ensure timeline adherence, scope control, and quality
  • Post-Go-Live Optimization: Ensure you realize full value in first 12 months post-launch

Typical Engagement:

  • 4-6 months from RFP to vendor selection
  • 12-18 months implementation (you lead internally; we govern and advise)
  • 6-12 months post-go-live optimization
  • Pricing: £10-30k depending on system complexity and scope

Vendors We Have Experience With:

  • SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Infor, QAD, Dassault (Enovia), IQMS
  • MES: Parsec, Dude Solutions, Wonderware
  • Supply Chain: Kinaxis, JDA, Coupa, Jaggr
