Do you really need an ERP system?

ERP is overkill in most cases many cases come across.
But your business still needs produce specific software.

Why are we trying to convince you to avoid an ERP? 

Because the odds of success are higher when clients adopt a phased approach in their ERP journey. 


Many clients don’t need an ERP system on day one. In our experience, they need a solution to a very specific and well-defined problem rather than a systemic issue affecting their entire business. Unfortunately, they often opt for an ERP system prematurely. This choice is understandable because, as businesses outgrow simpler tools like QuickBooks, an ERP can seem like the natural next step. However, there are other interim solutions that can bridge the gap effectively. This is what we believe. An ERP might be in your cards, but the timing might be off. 

Why wait on an ERP?

High Costs: ERP systems are expensive and may not justify the ROI for small operations.

Over-Complexity: Small businesses have simple workflows better suited to basic or specialized tools.

Implementation Challenges: ERP setup can disrupt operations and require resources small businesses lack.

Lack of IT Expertise: Managing an ERP demands skills many small businesses don’t have.

Underutilization: ERP features are often excessive and remain unused in small businesses.

Scalability Concerns: Smaller operations may never grow enough to need a comprehensive ERP system.

Training Burden: Staff may struggle with ERP systems, reducing productivity instead of enhancing it.

Time Constraints: Small businesses may not afford the downtime ERP implementation usually demands.

Our approach is different. We built Reserva to be implemented over time while providing benefits from day one

Our core belief is that a sound Order Management System is foundational. We spend significant time making sure our customers have the best in class solution to manage their order operations and then move to other parts of the organization.
