Are you considering changing to a new accounting/ERP system? How frustrating! But nobody should do this “heart transplant surgery” on their firm unless they think the current “heart” is too clogged, slow, weak, or small to support their “body’s” growth and health. So, why not first look into fixing the existing “heart?” Why not see if some “stents,” a pacemaker, “valve repair,” or perhaps a “bypass” will get the results you need? Are you sure you’re getting the most from your current “heart” before you go through the risk and expense of a different one?I lead SmartBridge Partners in helping our customers either get the most from their current “accounting system” or replace it with the right one for them. Either way, we call our process “untangling” your ERP and related systems. We usually work with customers in B2B distribution and discrete manufacturing industries who use Sage 100 or Acumatica. (However, our methodology and experience let us also work with firms using other systems.)Sometimes the existing system can’t go where you need it. If so, then we help you choose an ERP more appropriate for your current and future needs. We work with several, including Acumatica, Sage Intacct, Xtuple, and Sage 100.We produce our results through a series of modest, fixed-price projects with money-back guarantees. We design each project to meet your needs and budget. You will get NO surprises. What do I mean by a “tangled” system? Some symptoms of this condition include:• Your salespeople spend too much time creating orders for customers & answering their questions and problems.• You have an inaccurate picture of what is in stock or how much to order, and paying vendors takes way too much effort.• Your payables and receivables people spend a lot of time researching status.• The only reports your get are for the previous month – nothing for today or tomorrow.After our work with you, your “UNtangled” system will:• Capture the sales, warehouse operations, and purchases accurately the first time.• Produce accurate information to customers during the order, shipment, and invoicing.• Provide nearly “hands-free” operation of e-Commerce and EDI.• Feature fast and error-free warehouse pick, pack, and ship operations.• Keep inventory lean without stockouts.• Keep receivables low.• Let you make faster decisions because you get information -- “intelligence” -- in time to make them.• And much more!For an initial exploration of whether I might be able to help you, contact me at jnorman@smartbp.com or call 512.419.1444 x112.
