ERP Selection & Integration

The right ERP, integrated with everything around it. Independent advice from senior engineers.

Choosing and connecting an ERP is high-stakes, and most advice comes from someone with a platform to sell. We take no vendor referral fees, so the recommendation is the one that fits your business, and we connect it cleanly to finance, CRM, and your product.

Our platform work is delivered by senior engineers with production experience across complex, regulated enterprises. Explore the engagements behind these numbers.

AI-augmented, not AI-washed

AI across your ERP, where it earns its place

We are an AI-native engineering team, and it shows in how we select, integrate, and extend an ERP. Senior engineers, AI-augmented, not AI-washed: native AI turned on where the platform supports it, and custom AI on your finance and operations data where it does not.

See AI we have shipped in production

AI-augmented delivery

Our engineers use AI for selection analysis, integration, migration scripts, and test coverage, and review every line themselves. Faster delivery without handing judgment to a model.

Native AI where the platform supports it

Modern ERPs ship their own AI for forecasting, anomaly detection, and drafting. We configure it where your data supports it, and leave it off where it would mislead.

Custom AI on your ERP data

We build retrieval and agents grounded in your finance and operations data, with citations and human review, for the questions the ERP cannot answer out of the box. That is the same discipline behind our production AI work for EY, Hindustan Unilever, and Booking.com.

Capabilities

How we help across the ERP lifecycle

Configured to your operating model, and connected to the systems around them.

01

Independent platform selection

Vendor-neutral evaluation of the ERP that actually fits your business. We take no referral fees, so the shortlist and recommendation are yours, not a reseller's quota.

  • Score SAP S/4HANA, Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Oracle, Odoo, and Acumatica against your real requirements and budget
  • Run structured vendor demos with scripted scenarios from your own processes instead of canned sales walkthroughs
  • Model total cost of ownership across licensing, implementation, integration, and internal team effort over three to five years
02

Requirements and process mapping

Before any platform is chosen, we document how finance, operations, and sales actually work today and where the pain lives. Selection and configuration both depend on getting this right.

  • Map order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and record-to-report end to end across current tools and spreadsheets
  • Capture must-have versus nice-to-have requirements, compliance needs, and reporting the business runs on
  • Flag process gaps and workarounds that a new ERP should fix rather than carry forward
03

Finance and general ledger setup

Configuration of the financial core so the numbers reconcile and close is faster. This is where an ERP earns trust or loses it.

  • Design the chart of accounts, cost centers, and dimensions to match how the business reports
  • Configure GL, AP, AR, fixed assets, and multi-entity or multi-currency consolidation where needed
  • Set up tax handling, revenue recognition rules, and the period-close workflow with the finance team
04

Operations, inventory, and procurement

Setup of the operational modules that run the physical and purchasing side of the business, so stock, orders, and vendors stay in sync with finance.

  • Configure inventory, warehouse, and bill-of-materials structures for how goods actually move
  • Set up purchasing, vendor records, approval workflows, and three-way match against receipts and invoices
  • Model sales orders, fulfillment, and returns so operational events post cleanly to the ledger
05

Integration architecture

The design that connects the ERP to the systems around it so teams read from one source instead of re-keying. This is where most ERP value is won or lost.

  • Define the system of record for each data object and the direction data flows between apps
  • Build API, middleware, or event-based connections to CRM, billing, eCommerce, and internal tools
  • Add reconciliation checks, error handling, and retry logic so failed syncs surface instead of silently drifting
06

Data migration and cutover

Moving master and transactional data into the new system with validation, then switching over without stopping the business. We favor parallel runs over big-bang risk.

  • Extract, clean, and map legacy data, then de-duplicate and enrich master records before load
  • Reconcile migrated balances and counts against source totals before anyone relies on the new system
  • Run the old and new systems in parallel at cutover, confirm the numbers match, then stabilize post go-live

What we do with ERP Selection & Integration

Where senior engineers and AI-augmented delivery add the most value

01

Independent selection advice, no vendor kick-back.

We take no referral fees from vendors. When we recommend SAP, Dynamics, NetSuite, or another platform, it is the one that fits your business, not the one that pays us.

02

Integration is where ERP value is won or lost.

An ERP that does not talk to your CRM, billing, and product creates more manual work, not less. We design the data flows once so your teams read from one source.

03

Migration that respects business continuity.

We favor phased rollouts and parallel runs over big-bang cutovers, so the business keeps running while the new system proves itself.

Use cases

What we solve

Common ERP Selection & Integration scenarios we take on, and what we build for each.

01

Choosing between SAP, Dynamics, and NetSuite

A finance leader has three vendors pitching and no independent read on which one fits. We score each against your processes and total cost, so the decision holds up in the boardroom.

02

Inherited ERP that does not fit

An acquisition or a past project left you with a platform that fights your processes. We audit what is salvageable and propose fix-and-integrate or a phased migration, based on your situation.

03

ERP not connected to CRM or product

Sales, billing, and finance live in separate systems, so teams re-key data and numbers disagree. We design the integrations once so every team reads from one source of truth.

04

Painful manual reconciliation every close

Month-end is a marathon of spreadsheets stitching systems together by hand. We connect the sources and add automated checks so reconciliation stops being a monthly fire drill.

05

Outgrowing spreadsheets and QuickBooks

The business has scaled past entry-level accounting and shared spreadsheets, and control is slipping. We help you select the right first ERP and migrate without losing history or momentum.
