What a custom ERP costs, phase by phase

Nobody should spend the full ERP budget before seeing anything work. We price by module and sequence them so the highest-pain area is delivered first.

How delivery runs

01
Scoping
One to two weeks on the real workflow, systems and data. Output is a written scope and an indicative band.
02
Phased plan
The first usable release is identified explicitly so spend produces something usable early.
03
Fixed first phase
Phase one is quoted as a fixed price where scope allows; later phases are re-estimated with real velocity data.
04
Change log
Anything added after sign-off is estimated and scheduled in writing, so the budget never moves quietly.

Realistic timeline

Process mapping and module scope.

Months 2–5

Core modules in pilot use with real data.

Months 6–9

Migration, parallel run and cut-over.

Build or buy

Buy something existing when

Standard finance, purchasing and stock processes — buy the ERP

Build custom when

The operational layer around the ERP where your process differs, integrated rather than replacing it

Full custom ERP replacement is rarely the right answer. Custom modules around a standard ERP usually are.

What moves the price

Module scope

Production planning, stock, purchasing, sales and finance each carry their own data model and rules; scope discipline is the main cost control.

Finance and tax requirements

Ledger integration, VAT rules and statutory reporting per country add significant scope.

Migration and opening balances

Cut-over requires reconciled opening balances and a documented rollback window.

Training and change

ERP cost is as much organisational as technical; training and parallel running belong in the budget.

Where projects go wrong

Budget set before scope

A number agreed before discovery is a guess. We give a band after a short scoping phase and narrow it once the workflow and integrations are documented.

Data migration priced last

Legacy data is rarely as clean as expected. We survey the actual export during discovery rather than assuming it at the end.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Is custom ERP cheaper than SAP or Dynamics?+

Sometimes over five years, once licences, partner fees and customisation are included. We model both honestly.

Should we replace finance too?+

Usually not. Keeping a proven accounting package and integrating is lower risk.
