r/ERP

Hi there, I’m trying to understand what’s the best way for our company to assess the right path with choosing an ERP vendor. We’re a manufacturing company with multiple offices in South East Asia and we have multiple sales channels (offline and online). We also run tons of mini sales programs we develop internally. My question is, how do I go about assessing the different ERP vendors? Any best practices or tips?

We’ve also been approached by a software developer who has basically said that he can build this for us for a fraction of the cost of what the bigger vendors are estimating but he has no experience with developing an ERP system before. What are the pros and cons here with going with him?

Would appreciate any inputs or tips from those who have successfully gone through an implementation process.

Will soon being kicking off an implementation, as my org hit the ERP subsidiary limit in NSuite, and are likely going to jump into an Oracle Cloud solution.

I am interested in getting some feedback and getting feelers out there.
