ServicesAudit and advice

We help you choose the ERP that fits how your business works.

Odoo, ERPNext, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or a custom-built ERP: we work with more than one, so our advice starts from your workflows and not from a product. A Platform Fit Assessment with a fixed scope maps your processes, compares the candidates and gives you a decision you can defend.

What you get

What we hand over

  1. 01

    Your requirements, written down

    The workflows that matter most, the reports you need, the systems the ERP must connect to and the tax and accounting rules of your country. Each requirement is marked as must-have or nice-to-have.

  2. 02

    A fit comparison of the shortlist

    Each candidate is checked against your requirements, one by one: what the standard product covers, what needs configuration, what needs custom development and what it cannot do well.

  3. 03

    The cost over several years

    Licences or subscriptions, implementation, customisation, hosting and yearly support for each candidate, set side by side, so the cheapest product to buy is not mistaken for the cheapest to run.

  4. 04

    A written recommendation and a phased plan

    Which platform we recommend and why, the risks of that choice, and which departments should go live first. You can take this document to your board and to any implementer.

How it works

From your workflows to a shortlist you can defend

Every ERP vendor says its product fits. The honest answer depends on the few workflows that make your business different, so that is where we start.

  1. 1We map how an order moves through your business, from the quotation to the accounts, and mark the steps a standard product is least likely to handle.
  2. 2We draw up a shortlist. Odoo suits a business that wants many departments on one suite. ERPNext is open source. Dynamics 365 Business Central fits a company already working on Microsoft. A custom ERP is the answer when the key workflows fit none of them.
  3. 3Each candidate is tested against your real cases, not a standard demo. For a maker of pre-engineered buildings that meant quoting per project, engineering per order and fabricating against drawings.
  4. 4You get the comparison, the costs and our recommendation in writing. Sometimes the recommendation is to keep the system you have and fix what is around it.

Your options

Your options, compared honestly

  • Alternative

    A demo from each vendor

    Free, and a good way to see each product. Every demo is built to show a fit, so you still have to find out for yourself where each product stops matching your process.

  • Alternative

    A selection study by a large consulting firm

    Thorough and independent, and the right choice for a very large or multi-country group. For a mid-sized business the study can cost a large sum before any screen exists.

  • Alternative

    Choosing the best-known product

    A safe-looking choice with many implementers to pick from. The largest products are built for large enterprises, and a mid-sized business can end up paying for size it does not need.

Before you ask

Questions about ERP selection advice

Short, straight answers. Anything else, ask in the form below and an engineer will reply.

Odoo, ERPNext, Dynamics 365 or custom: how do you choose?

We start from your workflows, not from a product. Odoo suits a business that wants many departments on one suite and can use most modules close to standard. ERPNext is open source, and we built a pre-engineered building manufacturer its ERP on it. Dynamics 365 Business Central fits a company already working on Microsoft. We recommend custom when the workflows that matter most do not fit any of them.

You implement these products yourselves. Is the advice independent?

We are implementers, not a neutral research firm, and we say so. What keeps the advice honest is that we work with several platforms and also build custom, so we have no reason to push one. The comparison is written down requirement by requirement, and you can check it.

Do we have to implement the ERP with KTree afterwards?

No. The requirements, the comparison and the recommendation are yours, and you can take them to any implementer.

What if the best answer is to keep our current system?

Then the report says so. If the system is sound and the gaps are around it, we list what to fix and leave the ERP in place.

How long does the assessment take?

It depends on how many departments and sites are in scope. The scope is fixed before we start, and you get the dates in writing.
