FAQs
ERP development is an end-to-end process of designing, building, and deploying unique ERP software tailored to an organization’s specific business needs. Unlike one-size-fits-all platform-based ERP solutions built on top of Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle NetSuite, or SAP S/4HANA, custom ERP systems address an enterprise’s unique operational and strategic business requirements, making them a sound choice for companies that:
- Have established business workflows that packaged ERP solutions cannot support
- Seek flexible scalability to adapt to rapidly evolving business needs
- Operate in a highly-regulated environment (government sector, aviation, etc.)
- Want greater control over long-term expenses
- Need to minimize user resistance and training efforts
Custom ERP development bears multiple tangible benefits for businesses, including:
- Fully tailored functionality aligned with unique business processes and requirements
- Higher utilization rate due to unique functionality and tailored user experiences
- Optimized TCO in the long run by eliminating recurring licensing fees
- Maintaining full ownership over system evolution, integrations, and data
- Enhanced security and compliance through proprietary data governance embedded into the system architecture
To choose between a custom solution and a platform-based ERP application, you have to factor in the following parameters:
Custom ERP software | Off-the-shelf ERP system | |
|---|---|---|
Features | Fully tailored set of features, modules, and integrations | Fixed architecture with built-in functionality defined by the ERP vendor |
Costs | Upfront ERP software development costs defined by the ERP complexity | High long-term costs due to recurring software license fees |
Timeline | Extended delivery time due to UX/UI design, app development, and testing | Faster time-to-market since the platform is ready to be deployed |
Support | Updates and maintenance are performed in-house or by an outsourcing company | Maintenance and support can be included in the subscription (SaaS) |
Modifications | Wide configuration and customization capabilities | Limited options within predefined settings established by the provider |
Change management | Minimal workflow changes required since the ERP system is tailored to your processes | Out-of-the-box ERP implementation can require changes in the established workflows |
Good for | Organizations with specific needs and established workflows | Companies with limited budgets and flexible business processes |
Here are some guidelines we have developed to help your company decide whether to enhance your ERP through customization or develop new ERP software from scratch.
Key benefits | Recommended when | |
|---|---|---|
ERP customization | Lower development costs, as adding new modules and features is faster than creating new ERP software Easier adoption and less training, since your staff will already be familiar with your ERP’s core functionalities Lower risks of technical issues and easier rollback, compared to the end-to-end implementation of a new software system | Simple upgrade already covers all necessary additions and fixes Fully replacing your ERP management system is too expensive and disruptive You expect personalization to deliver similar ROI with less risk |
ERP replacement | Long-term cost savings and higher ROI with a modern ERP solution matching your evolving needs Fewer compatibility issues with external software compared to legacy systems undergoing multiple upgrades Generally superior usability and configurability of new enterprise resource planning systems implementing innovative technologies | Functionality gaps can't be filled with mere modifications Your legacy ERP app is no longer supported by the vendor Massive infrastructure upgrades would cost more than the actual replacement |
