One of the most common issues is not having a defined reason for implementing ERP. Vague goals like “automate everything” often lead to failure.
Best practice: Set specific, measurable objectives — e.g., reduce order processing time by 30%, improve stock accuracy, etc.
Management often decides on the ERP system and expects staff to adapt instantly. If employees are not involved in the process or trained properly — resistance is inevitable.
Solution: Involve key employees from day one and provide training at every stage.
An ERP system must work with your accounting, CRM, logistics, and external APIs. If integration is skipped or underestimated — the project stalls.
Recommendation: Map your IT ecosystem in advance and define all required interfaces.
An ERP integrator without experience may overlook crucial aspects like local VAT rules, Hebrew interfaces, or bank integrations.
Advice: Work with professionals familiar with regulations and business culture.
ERP is a long-term project. Without post-launch support and updates, the system becomes obsolete quickly.
What to do: Set a maintenance plan for at least 12–18 months and sign a proper SLA.
