Before you choose an ERP
Start with the processes, not the software. Write down how an order moves today, from enquiry to payment, and mark every place where someone re-types data or waits for a spreadsheet.
Decide who owns each process on your side. An ERP project goes faster when one person can answer for sales, one for stores and one for accounts.
Ask any vendor to show your own flow, with your own product names, before you sign.
