I will be your erp consultant for software selection and requirements
About this Gig
Choosing the wrong ERP system can cost you years and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Before you sign a contract or sit through another vendor demo, get an honest, vendor-neutral assessment of whether ERP is even the right move and if so, which systems actually fit how your business operates.
I've spent 35 years in operations, including 20+ ERP implementations and 17 years working directly with Infor's CSI/SyteLine platform for manufacturers and job-based businesses. I've seen ERP projects succeed and I've seen them fail and the difference almost always traces back to what happened before the contract was signed.
What I do:
- Assess your current systems, processes, and data readiness
- Identify the real gaps ERP needs to solve (not just the ones a vendor's sales deck highlights)
- Map your requirements against system categories and vendor fit
- Give you a clear, unbiased readiness snapshot no vendor kickbacks, no bias toward any platform
This isn't a sales pitch disguised as consulting. I don't sell software, resell licenses, or take referral fees from vendors. My only job is making sure you don't waste money on the wrong system or the wrong timing.

FAQ
I don't know if I even need ERP yet — can you still help?
Yes — that's exactly what the Basic package is for. A lot of clients aren't sure ERP is the right move at all. I'll assess your current setup and tell you honestly if ERP is warranted now, or if there's a simpler fix first.
Do you sell or resell any ERP software?
No. I don't sell licenses, take referral commissions, or partner with specific vendors. My assessment is vendor-neutral — my only interest is that you make the right decision for your business.
What do I need to provide before we start?
A general picture of your current systems (spreadsheets, existing software, etc.), your team size, and the main operational pain points you're trying to solve. No formal documentation required — we can talk through it.
Do you recommend specific ERP products?
I'll narrow the field to system categories and vendor types that fit your size, industry, and complexity. For a deeper vendor-by-vendor comparison and selection roadmap, that's covered in the Standard and Premium packages.
How is this different from just asking an ERP vendor for a recommendation?
A vendor's job is to sell you their system — even a good one will frame your needs to fit their product. I have no product to sell, so the assessment reflects what's actually right for your operation, not what closes a
What industries do you work with?
Primarily manufacturers, specialty trade contractors, and other project-based/job-cost operations — the same environments where I've spent most of my 35 years in operations and ERP implementation work.
