Manufacturing ERP consulting

Manufacturers usually approach ERP selection with a long list of features. What decides success is narrower: whether the system can model your BOMs and routings realistically, plan material against real lead times, and cost products in a way finance accepts.

Overview

Why this combination needs its own approach

Our manufacturing consulting focuses on those decisions before you commit to a platform or partner.

Focus areas

What we concentrate on

01

Production model fit

Discrete, process, job-shop or mixed-mode — and how each platform handles it.

02

Planning readiness

Whether lead times, BOMs and stock accuracy can support MRP from day one.

03

Costing approach

Standard vs actual costing, overhead absorption and variance analysis, agreed with finance.

04

Shop-floor reality

How much data operators can realistically capture without slowing production.

Approach

How the engagement is structured

We spend time on the floor, map the order-to-ship flow, and test candidate platforms with scripted scenarios using your own products — including the awkward ones.

The result is a fit-gap list, a five-year cost model and a phased roadmap, starting with core transactions and adding detailed shop-floor control once data is reliable.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you only recommend Odoo?

No. We implement Odoo, but our consulting assesses fit honestly and will point to other platforms where they suit your production model better.

How long does a manufacturing ERP assessment take?

Typically four to six weeks for a single site, longer for multiple plants.

Can you assess an existing ERP instead?

Yes. Sometimes fixing configuration and data is better than replacing the system.
