Find out how ready your business is for ERP.
Answer these questions based on your current situation and get your readiness score. See what’s working and what may need attention before moving forward.
Data Trust
Can two people in your company independently produce the same current inventory / stock number today?
When you pull a report, do you trust the number — or do you check it against a spreadsheet first?
Is your master data (customers, products, vendors) in one place, or scattered across systems and files?
Process Consistency
If your most experienced operations person left tomorrow, could the process run without them?
Are core workflows (order-to-cash, procure-to-pay) documented and followed the same way every time?
When exceptions happen, is there a defined process — or does everyone improvise?
Leadership & Vision
Does leadership have a clear picture of what should change operationally after go-live — beyond 'digitize things'?
Is there a named internal owner (not a vendor) accountable for the ERP outcome?
Has leadership agreed which processes bend to fit the ERP vs. which the ERP must customize to fit?
Operational & Team Capacity
Do you have people who can free up meaningful time for ERP work without halting 100% day-to-day?
Is your team open to changing how they work, or is it 'we've always done it this way' culture?
Have you budgeted for the full cost — implementation, training, month-one productivity dip — not just the license?
