Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Optimization Services
Fix Your Broken ERP Implementation — Not Start Over
Turn your underperforming ERP into the financial command center it was supposed to be — with optimized workflows, clean data, and reporting that actually works.
Fix broken implementations. Improve reporting. Unlock the automation you already paid for.
You invested $100K+ in an ERP implementation. You were promised real-time visibility, automated workflows, and better reporting. Instead, your team is drowning in manual work, financials are still unreliable, and month-end takes longer than before.
You're not alone. Many ERP implementations underdeliver for the finance function. Why? Because they were implemented by experts in the technology, but not fully vested in optimizing how the financial and operational data flows in.
The good news? Most broken ERPs can be fixed without starting over. We rescue failed implementations and optimize underperforming systems — fast.
ERP Problems That Keep Finance Leaders Up at Night
Here are common challenges and pain points we hear often:
- CFOs + Finance Teams

- Broken promises
Implementation partner promised capabilities that don't work - Reporting disappointment
Still can't get the reports you need - User adoption failure

"Did we choose the wrong ERP?"
"Is a Fix Even Worth It?"
- Business impact
Implementation disrupted operations for months - Sunk cost fear
Already spent $100K+, don't want to spend more - Don't know if it's fixable
Is this salvageable? Start over? - Team morale
Staff haven't embraced the new system - Lack of Confidence
Is the complexity worth the ROI?
"The Portfolio Company ERP is a Mess"
- Value creation blocked
Can't execute initiatives because ERP doesn't support them - Integration nightmare
Can't integrate add-ons into poorly configured platform - ROI failure

FAQs
Q: How do I know if my ERP can be fixed or needs to be replaced?
A: Start with our ERP Health Check. We'll give you an honest assessment. Generally, if the right system was chosen but poorly implemented, it can be fixed. If the system is wrong entirely, replacement may be better.
Q: How much does ERP optimization cost?
A: Our free 30-minute ERP health check is designed to help us understand what's working and what isn't from your perspective. From there, we design a specific ERP Optimization Assessment scope of work.
Q: How long does optimization take?
A: Typically 8-12 weeks for comprehensive optimization. Quick wins (like fixing reporting or syncing automations) can happen in weeks, full transformation takes 2-3 months.
Q: Will this disrupt our operations?
A: Most optimization work happens in the background with minimal disruption. Training is scheduled around your business cycles.
Q: Can you work with any ERP?
A: Our team has used just about every major ERP system. Part of our assessment is to assign the right team to you.
Q: What if we decide to replace the ERP instead?
A: We can help with that, too. We do ERP selection and implementation. If replacement is the right answer, we'll guide you through it.
Q: How quickly will we see results?
A: Some improvements (like fixing broken reports) can happen in days. Full optimization benefits are realized over 2-3 months as all fixes are implemented and the team adopts new workflows.
Q: What if our team is resistant to change?
A: Change management is part of our approach. We work to rebuild trust with the team, show them how fixes make their lives easier, and provide strong training support.
