Reports do not match
ERP, Power BI, finance and Excel all show different versions of sales, stock, margin, backlog or despatch performance.

At a glance: ERP data migration and reporting risk

Start with a 30-minute data risk call. If there is a fit, the first paid step is a 5 to 10 day ERP Data Readiness Review with a source inventory, issue register, reconciliation checklist, owner matrix and prioritised fix plan.

The problems we solve
Your software is not always the problem. The numbers underneath it usually are.
For the Ops Director, Finance Director or MD who knows the business is running from a mix of ERP screens, Excel exports, old reports and tribal knowledge.
Migration exposes the mess
The ERP project is moving, but customer, supplier, item, BOM, stock and pricing data decisions are not owned properly.
Operations slows down
Managers lose time chasing numbers, explaining mismatches and manually rebuilding reports instead of improving flow.
Low-risk first step
The 5 to 10 day ERP Data Readiness Review.
This is the cleanest offer to buy. It gives a manufacturing SME a clear view of what is wrong, what needs fixing, who owns it, and whether the project is safe to move forward.
