Why get ERP consulting before implementation
Most bad ERP outcomes trace back to a decision made before any software was configured — the wrong platform for the company's size, modules bought that never got used, or a rollout scoped around what a vendor wanted to sell rather than what the business needed. ERP consulting is the step that happens before implementation: assessing your current processes, sizing the actual requirement, and comparing platforms against that requirement rather than against a sales pitch.
What our ERP consulting covers
- Current-state process review across finance, inventory, sales and operations
- Gap analysis — what's manual today that should be automated, and what shouldn't be
- Platform shortlist and comparison against your actual requirements and budget
- Module scoping — what to implement in phase one versus later
- Cost and timeline estimate before you commit to a vendor
- Risk assessment for data migration and integration complexity
Who this is for
Useful whether you haven't picked a platform yet, or you have and want a second opinion before signing. It's also worth doing if a previous ERP attempt stalled or was abandoned — a short diagnostic often reveals it was a scoping problem, not a software problem.
How it connects to implementation
If you go ahead with us afterward, the consulting phase directly feeds implementation — same process documentation, no re-discovery. If you decide to implement with another provider or in-house, you keep the assessment and recommendations regardless.
Engagement & pricing
ERP consulting is priced as a fixed-fee engagement, scoped to the number of departments and processes being assessed — not billed by the hour, so the cost is known upfront. A single-function assessment (just finance, say) is a smaller engagement than a full cross-department review. We’ll size it after an initial call, and the quote holds regardless of how long the analysis actually takes on our side.
Why businesses use TechBricx for ERP consulting
Because we also implement ERP systems, our consulting recommendations are grounded in what actually works during rollout, not just what looks good on a comparison spreadsheet. And because we’re not paid a commission by any platform vendor, there’s no incentive to steer you toward a particular product — the recommendation is based on fit, not partnership deals.
ERP platforms we work with
We're not tied to one platform — we implement and configure whichever fits your business, including:
Frequently asked questions
No — it's equally useful as a second opinion if you've already shortlisted a platform, or as a diagnostic if a previous implementation attempt stalled.
A standard assessment across 2-3 core functions typically takes 1-2 weeks. Larger, multi-branch businesses can take 3-4 weeks depending on how many teams need to be interviewed.
No. The assessment and recommendations are yours to use with any implementation partner, including your own in-house team.
We're not tied to one vendor — we compare options like Odoo, Zoho One, Microsoft Dynamics and custom-built alternatives against your specific requirements.
