Unlock Your ERP's Full Potential: The Benefits of an ERP Health Check
An ERP Health Check, much like an IT Health Check, is a comprehensive evaluation of your business systems, processes, and integrations. This diagnostic service can uncover inefficiencies, pinpoint areas for improvement, and ensure that your ERP system is aligned with your operational goals.
An ERP Health Check often leads to several impactful outcomes:
Optimising Operational Costs: One of our clients, a growing healthcare provider, discovered during their ERP Health Check that they were underutilising several advanced features of their system. By reconfiguring workflows and eliminating redundant manual processes, they saved over 15% on administrative costs annually, which was redirected toward patient care initiatives.
Improved Data Accuracy and Reporting: A logistics firm we worked with was struggling with inconsistent data across multiple systems. After the ERP Health Check, we streamlined their data entry processes and integrated key systems. This not only improved their reporting accuracy but also reduced the time required for monthly financial reconciliations by 40%.
Enhanced Decision-Making Capabilities: Having clear insights into your business operations allows for faster, data-driven decisions. For example, a retail business leveraged the findings of their ERP Health Check to identify slow-moving inventory and optimise stock levels, leading to a 25% increase in turnover for their most profitable product lines.
What’s Involved?
An ERP Health Check typically involves a multi-step process carried out by certified ERP specialists:

Data Accuracy and Security Audit: An assessment of your data management practices, ensuring data integrity and identifying any security vulnerabilities.

User Feedback and Training Needs: Engaging with your staff to understand their challenges and identifying training opportunities to improve system utilisation.
Actionable Recommendations: Providing a detailed report with short-term fixes, medium-term enhancements, and long-term strategic initiatives.
