When Should You Implement an ERP System? A Practical Guide
The Right Time for ERP
You don't need an ERP when you're starting out. But there's a critical moment when disparate spreadsheets and disconnected tools start costing you money. We typically see this happen when a company has 30+ employees or $2M+ annual revenue.
Red Flags
Can't generate accurate financial reports without manual consolidation? Taking hours to process payroll? Unable to forecast inventory? These are signs your business has outgrown point solutions.
Implementation Best Practices
Phased rollouts beat big-bang implementations. Start with the most painful process first (usually finance or inventory). Get buy-in from operational staff early. Budget for change management, not just software costs.
