ERP Software Selection
For privately held and family-owned manufacturing companies, an ERP solution must work for generations.
ERP doesn’t just help your company keep up with the times — it has the power to transform every aspect of your organization. Selecting ERP software for manufacturing and distribution is more than choosing a technology vendor. To implement the right ERP for your mid-market company, it’s critical to get your processes, partners, and internal capabilities right, too.
Our Process
In our decades of experience, we’ve created a process and framework that ensures our manufacturing clients achieve maximum return on their ERP investment.
Together with your ERP consulting partners at Syte, you’ll first measure the commitment, capabilities and capacity of your organization. Then we assess the core business processes that are pivotal to transformation.
- Concept to product
- Market to customer
- Order to cash
- Demand to supply
- Procure to pay
- Invest to divest
- Maintain to improve
- Hire to retire
- Finance to manage
Reducing risk
While we are understanding and documenting your current state, we are also uncovering the requirements that are critical to your unique business.
When your current state is well understood and documented, and you have a clear sense of what matters most with your future solution, you’re much less likely to make costly mistakes. You won’t waste time, money and resources choosing (or worse, attempting to implement) the wrong ERP software.
To ensure that all your needs will be met with your new ERP solution, your Syte team will augment your list of requirements with our proprietary ERP requirements database, and help you prioritize based on your strategic initiatives and organizational goals.
Your roadmap
From this deep understanding of your business, we create a roadmap that leads you straight to the right ERP solution.
This includes:
- Defining business, technology and vendor requirements
- Identifying and screening potential solutions and delivery partners on your behalf
- Developing a customized request-for-information packet for potential partners
- Arranging and facilitating software demonstrations
- Collaborating with you to appraise software and delivery partners
- Helping you review key documents to ensure that agreements with all parties are clear, complete and your interests are protected
Most importantly, throughout each step, we remain shoulder-to-shoulder with you and your team. You always have a trusted partner and crystal clarity, so you can confidently select the ideal ERP for your company.

"I’ve used everything from SAP to MFG Pro with different sized companies but it’s not something I always have my personal finger on the pulse of in this industry. I wanted an expert to come in and get to the system that would work best for us as quickly as possible. It’s exactly where we ended up."
