How to Calculate ERP ROI (With a Simple Worked Example)
A practical method for calculating ERP return on investment: which benefits to count, which to leave out, how to estimate costs honestly, and a worked example you can adapt.
Solution · Commerce
Point of sale connected to stock and finance
A POS that doesn't share data with the ERP leaves stores as islands: stock reconciled weekly, prices updated manually, takings keyed into accounting.
Overview
Why this area matters
An integrated POS uses the same products, prices, promotions and customers as the rest of the business.
01Typical problems
Signs the current setup has run out of road
01
Price mismatches
Store prices differ from central pricing.
02
Stock lag
Store stock updated in batches.
03
Cash reconciliation
End-of-day takings reconciled manually.
04
No customer insight
Store customers unknown to CRM.

04 — Technical notes
Design decisions worth getting right
Card payments should go through certified terminals so card data never touches the ERP. This keeps PCI scope minimal.
Offline behaviour and hardware compatibility should be tested in-store before rollout.
