Picking the right ERP for your Pune business

Trading & distribution: Marg ERP or Tally Prime. Retail chains: LOGIC ERP. Service businesses: Zoho One. Manufacturing: SAP Business One or Odoo. The wrong ERP costs 3× more to fix than to choose correctly upfront.

A realistic ERP rollout timeline

Discovery & process mapping: 2–3 weeks. Configuration & customization: 4–8 weeks. Data migration: 2–4 weeks. UAT + training: 2–3 weeks. Go-live + hyper-care: 4 weeks. Total: 14–22 weeks for a mid-size SMB.

Change management — the silent killer

70% of ERP implementations underperform because of poor adoption, not bad software. Train superusers in every department, run weekly office hours for the first 90 days, and tie KPIs to ERP usage.
