When you open your Outlook calendar, have you ever noticed how much time is wasted with frustrating ERP support meetings? Days, months,even years go by, yet the problems persist. The features you assumed were included are still missing. Quick fixes may provide temporary relief, but the ongoing headaches remains.

You are not alone. The Wall Street Journal published 73.8% of companies do not like their current ERP. Is it because all ERPs appear impressive during sales demos—polished, robust, and promising every feature you need.

Then months after you purchased you start to question ‘was that just the honeymoon?’ What you assumed from the sales demos was the perfect system, starts to show its warts. Maybe you didn’t ask the best questions when evaluating and then let your emotions run wild when you saw the cool ERP demos. Did you spend all your time deciphering sales demos, and not focus on what is most important? Which is if you have the ability to implement the ERP successfully!

That’s where this guide comes in. It was designed to help manufacturers identify and prioritize your critical requirements (must haves) instead of ‘wearing rose colored glasses’ during those amazing sales demos.  You will never need every feature listed in this guide, but if any criteria resonates with your current challenges, it probably is a ‘must have’.

Don’t let flashy ERP sales demos cloud your judgment—arm yourself with the ammunition to uncover the truth about systems before you buy.
