ERP health check workshop with finance, operations, and IT stakeholders

ERP Health Check
Before Another Project

If the system feels slow, reporting is not trusted, or teams are working around Sage, we identify whether the issue is process, data, configuration, integrations, or support.

When this helps

You know the symptoms. We find the cause.

A health check is useful when users complain about the ERP, but nobody agrees whether the problem is the software, the setup, the data, the process, or old habits.

What we review

The goal is not to create a long report. It is to isolate the few issues that create most of the daily friction.

Process Reality

Where the official process differs from what finance, operations, warehouse, and IT actually do day to day.

Undocumented workarounds: transactions posted in the wrong order, approvals handled over email, and steps quietly skipped at month-end.

Master Data Quality

Items, customers, suppliers, BOMs, routings, units of measure, lots, lead times, and dimensions.

Duplicate records, missing lead times, and inconsistent units of measure that make planning and reporting unreliable.

Integration Risks

WMS, ecommerce, EDI, banks, scanners, payroll, BI, and third-party systems.

Interfaces that fail silently, data re-keyed by hand, and reconciliation gaps that only surface at period close.

Reporting Trust

Which numbers disagree, why they disagree, and whether the issue is configuration, timing, data model, or user practice.

Two reports answering the same question differently, usually a posting-timing problem rather than a software fault.

Control Gaps

Approval paths, audit trails, duties, exception handling, period close controls, and recovery procedures.

Approval limits that were configured but never enforced, and close procedures that live in one person's head.

Support Readiness

Open tickets, unresolved workarounds, admin dependency, training gaps, and whether the support model matches the business risk.

The same tickets reopened every month, and a system that depends on a single administrator's knowledge.

Typical finding

“The ERP was blamed for poor stock visibility. The actual issue was that warehouse transfers were posted after dispatch, not before picking. The report was accurate; the process timing was not.”

Anonymised pattern from ERP assessment work.

Find the real ERP bottleneck

Book a diagnostic session. We will tell you whether this needs configuration, process cleanup, data repair, training, support, or a larger project.
