ERP systems help businesses manage their operations better. However, many ERP projects do not succeed. A report by Deloitte, a well-known global consulting firm, says that 55% to 75% of ERP implementations fail to meet their goals. These numbers may seem worrying, but most failures happen due to common reasons. If you know them early, you can avoid them.
There are nine common reasons why ERP projects fail. They are, No Clear Goals or Objectives, Poor Planning of Budget and Resources, Disagreements Among Stakeholders, Weak Change Management, Choosing the Wrong ERP Vendor or Model, Practically Impossible Expectations, Problems with Old Data, Not Testing the ERP Properly and Not Training the Staff Well.
1. No Clear Goals or Objectives
Many businesses start using ERP without clear goals. They may want to automate tasks or improve delivery times. But if these goals are not specific, the project can go off track.
Suntech Business Solutions helps you set clear goals. We understand your pain points first. Then we match ERP features with your needs. We define measurable results and plan your roadmap step by step. This keeps your project focused and on track.
2. Poor Planning of Budget and Resources
ERP systems can be costly. Many companies forget to plan for extra expenses like training, testing, or support. This causes delays or even project failure.
SUNFACET ERP offers full cost breakdowns before you start. We also advise you to keep a 25% buffer for unexpected costs. Our expert team helps you use your time, money, and staff wisely.
3. Disagreements Among Stakeholders
Sometimes, leaders or team members do not agree on how to run the project. This can delay the process or confuse the team.
SUNFACET ERP brings everyone together. We hold joint planning meetings with all stakeholders. We also act as a neutral guide during discussions. This helps avoid confusion and keeps the team united.
4. Weak Change Management
Employees often find it hard to switch to a new system. Without proper support, they may feel confused or resist the change.
We create clear change management plans. We train key users who then train others. We also give your team time to practise using the system. This builds confidence and smooth adoption.
5. Choosing the Wrong ERP Vendor or Model
Not all ERP vendors suit your business. Some do not offer the features you need. Others may lack support or experience in your industry.
SUNFACET ERP is designed for the jewellery and precious metals industry. We offer scalable, cloud-based ERP that fits your exact business size and type. Our team understands your market and guides you from start to finish.
6. Practically Impossible Expectations
ERP can improve how you work. But it cannot fix every problem in your business. Some expect instant results, which is not possible.
We help you set practical goals. We explain what ERP can and cannot do. Our regular review sessions help you stay on the right path.
7. Problems with Old Data
Old software often holds large amounts of data. If this data is not cleaned or transferred properly, it can create problems in the new system.
SUNFACET ERP uses advanced tools to clean, check, and move your data. We test your data in different stages. We also store it in one place to make the transfer easy and error-free.
8. Not Testing the ERP Properly
Some companies skip testing to save time. This leads to big issues after the ERP goes live.
With SUNFACET ERP, we follow strict testing steps. We test every function. We also run mock go-live sessions to check system readiness. We use smart tools to catch problems early.
9. Not Training the Staff Well
Even the best ERP system will fail if your staff do not know how to use it. Poor training leads to mistakes or delays.
SUNFACET ERP offers training based on each role. We also give clear manuals and post-go-live support. Our training model makes sure your team is ready to use the system with confidence.
ERP implementation is a big step. But it does not have to be risky. SUNFACET by Suntech Business Solutions offers a safe and tested approach. We focus on setting clear goals, planning well, and involving the right people.
Our solution is made for the jewellery and precious metals industry. If you want a successful ERP journey, SUNFACET is your trusted partner.
