– Business Systems Readiness Assessment · For manufacturers


Know if your shop is ready for ERP


— before you spend a dollar on one.


If you can’t say what a job really cost until after it ships — and your inventory numbers are a guess — you’ve outgrown QuickBooks. This assessment tells you, straight, whether an ERP move makes sense this year and what it’ll take.

– What it is

A straight read on your operation — not a sales pitch.


We spend a couple of focused video calls walking through how you cost jobs, track inventory, and run the floor today. Then you get an honest answer: whether your operation is ready for an ERP, where the real gaps are, and what to fix first — whether you ever work with us or not.

– What we look at

Four places the trouble usually hides.


01

Job costing & margin


Do you know what each job actually costs you — or only after it’s shipped and the margin’s gone?

02

Inventory


Can you trust what the system says is on the shelf — or is it a best guess?

03

Shop-floor flow


Where do jobs stall, who’s waiting on what, and why doesn’t anyone see it coming?

04

Systems & data


What’s connected, what’s living in spreadsheets, and what walks out the door at 4pm.

– What you walk away with

Three things you can act on — not a forty-page report.

Output 01

A straight go / no-go on moving to an ERP this year.


Output 02

The handful of gaps that actually matter — ranked, in plain language.

Output 03

A prioritized path you can act on, in or out of an engagement with us.
