In order to help you through this process we have chosen eight simple steps for a successful ERP system selection:

Step 1: Evaluation – Gather the members of your leadership together and start the initial conversation about working with ERP.

Step 2: Make An Assessment – Look critically at how your business operates and determine what’s working for you, what are the challenges you’re facing, and what is it you think you would need in an ERP solution.

Step 3: Establish Criteria –  When evaluating vendors develop a standard criteria to use. Which can include features, price, platform, and other valuable decision-making tools.

Step 4: Schedule Consultations – Scheduling phone calls, in-person meetings, or online demos with sales representatives and product experts at the vendors you’re considering.

Step 5: Create a Shortlist – Less is best, narrowing your list down to 2-3 candidates that you’re interested in will help make your choice easier.

Step 6: Make Contact – Contact vendors and schedule follow-up calls will help you learn more about how their products and how they could help your business.

Step 7: Prepare Questions That Address Your Concerns – Preparing specific questions that you’d like each vendor to address during the follow-up call will also help solidify what you may need.

Step 8: Check Vendor References – Talk to other companies that are or have implemented the ERP you are interested in. Find out their opinion what they liked and what they didn’t like, would they recommend the provider you’re asking about. Once you’ve selected the ERP vendor for your business needs, spend the time to scope the entire project, from start to finish.
