Is your ERP not working as it should? An independent ERP consultant can help.

Have you invested a considerable amount of money in an ERP system, but the expected benefits have not materialized? Perhaps the problem lies not in the system, but in the processes it is supposed to support. Find out how an independent ERP consultant can help you leverage the full potential of your system and increase the efficiency of your entire company.

Have you invested in ERP, but the results fall short of your expectations? Contact an independent consultant and find out where its potential is being lost.

Your ERP system was supposed to be the key to efficiency, automation, and better overview. But the reality is different—people bypass it, part of the agenda runs in Excel, and instead of quick data overviews, you wait days for information.
Sound familiar?
Then know that you are not alone. And above all, there is a solution.

Where it usually breaks down

An ERP system is like a car engine—it can be powerful, but if it is poorly tuned, it won’t get very far.
We often see three recurring causes of inefficient ERP use in companies:

1. The processes are complex or outdated. The system supports them, but does not improve them.
2. An independent perspective is lacking. The implementer sees the technology, not the business.
3. Employees are not working with the system as intended.

The result? The ERP system works, but its benefits fall short of expectations.

Why hire an independent ERP consultant?

The ERP supplier is responsible for implementing and maintaining the system.
An independent ERP consultant is responsible for determining whether what the system does really makes sense for your business.
Their added value lies in the fact that they are not tied to a specific supplier or technology. They look for the best solution for your company, not for the system.

Independent advisor:

• conducts an ERP audit and objectively assesses what works and what does not,
• can translate IT language into business language,
• reveals inefficient processes and bottlenecks,
• propose specific optimizations and recommend how to make better use of the system,
• will help you decide whether to develop ERP or change some of your processes.

In short, an independent consultant is not an “additional expense”; on the contrary, they will ensure a return on your investment in the ERP system.

Process analysis: the first step in making ERP work for you

Many companies believe that the only way to improve is to implement a new system.
However, it is often enough to look at existing processes and understand why they are not working as they should.
This is precisely what process analysis is for.

The analysis focuses on:

• the actual course of company processes across departments,
• identifying steps that do not add value,
• mapping places where information is lost or duplicated,
• evaluation of how the ERP system supports individual processes.

Based on these findings, the consultant will propose process optimization—specific changes that will simplify work, speed up decision-making, and enable the system to deliver real value.

What optimization will bring you

• Save time and money by eliminating unnecessary activities.
• Better use of ERP – no circumvention of the system, but its full integration into practice.
• Increased employee productivity.
• Better overview of data and more reliable decision-making.
• Higher customer satisfaction thanks to faster response times and accurate information.

When is the right time to consult an independent advisor?

• Do you feel that your ERP system is capable of more than you are currently getting out of it?
• Processes are lengthy, and employees often look for shortcuts outside the system.
• Costs are rising, but profits are not.
• The supplier tells you that “the system is fine,” but you know that the result does not correspond to reality.

At such times, an independent outside perspective often reveals what is no longer visible within the company—and offers a concrete path to improvement.

Conclusion

An ERP system is the foundation of modern business, but it is not enough on its own.
It only really starts to work when it is linked to effective processes and the right people.
If you feel that your system is not supporting your business as it should, don’t waste time looking for a new one.
Start by looking at it through independent eyes—the eyes of a consultant who defends your interests, not those of the supplier.
