ERP
PerfOps has been helping businesses apply and optimize ERP solutions since their inception in the ‘90s. ERP projects led by PerfOps yield results faster, are more sustainable and last longer. Our selection methodology is unparalleled in industry, our approach to project management goes beyond the usual and our project governance is effective. We are also known for turning around slow moving or failing projects.
In addition to the common enterprise software subjects, the following relate specifically to ERP:
ENSURING SUCCESS
ERP implementation is known to be fraught with delays, going over budget, not meeting business objectives or failing outright. Statistics show 90% of ERP projects are significantly late or over budget and over 60% of projects are considered failures by management. 80% of ERP customers are unhappy with their solutions and 90% fail to meet expected ROI. We understand why these are the industry results, we have identified all of the root causes and our highly evolved methodology addresses all such causes. Simply said, solution providers are primarily focused on getting the system installed, up and running and owner teams don’t have sufficient experience or time to attend to everything which needs to get done. PerfOps’ has the methods to work with solution providers on behalf of the owner, tunable, pre-engineered solutions which reduce time to prepare the necessary deliverables and both operations and technical specialists to fill gaps in teams. Owners and solution providers alike tell us that their projects with PerfOps involved from the start are more successful.
OPERATIONS EXCELLENCE
ERP by definition is intended to organize and optimize the way people operating within different functions of the business work together. We focus on the way ERP will actually operate in the real world. Our efforts, when combined with the solution provider’s necessary focus on getting the system installed and operational, results in solutions that are less disruptive and function optimally after the initial implementation. PerfOps led projects require less post-installation optimization, stay in place longer and are more sustainable by the owner’s team.
PREPARED FROM THE START
One of our core principles is that the owner’s team and information needs to be prepared in advance of the solution provider’s arrival and the start of software licensing. Projects without a focus like ours means that the software is licensed, the timeline starts and the dollars spend begins, and then the project slows or even stalls. Almost without exception owner teams and information is not adequately prepared prior to the start of the project. Our methods pull much of what will have to be done in the project forward prior to licensing the software and engaging with the ERP solution provider. This has the dual result of shortening the actual timeline and reducing the intensity during the project. Our methods ensure the big decisions are made or at least teed up prior to the start of the project, master data is ready or well in progress and the major use cases are understood. All of this is needed anyway and by getting it underway prior to project start is helpful for software selection, strengthening the team, reducing project risk and more.

DISCOVER HOW PERFOPS USES ERP TO DEVELOP SOLUTIONS
SYSTEMS EXPERTISE
PerfOps has been guiding the selection, designing and implementing warehouse management and automated material handling systems since 1988. There is nothing we haven’t seen in warehousing and distribution including all forms of Automated Data Collection (ADC) and every level of real-time automation. PerfOps can operate across all activities from the initial vision through facility design, storage and material handling equipment selection, software implementation and process optimization. Our team of project, operations and technology professionals can provide any level of service you require to achieve your warehousing objectives.
PerfOps has been working with TMS solutions for the past 20 years, including integration of such systems with ERP and WMS, and assisting owners with implementation. Our methods of bringing all resources together, including supply chain partners, to develop the optimum “to be” process, build stronger teams offering more supply chain resilience. As with all our areas of focus, we can work from initial vision through software and vendor selection, solution design, testing and optimization. Our project management and governance methods ensure these solutions actually achieve stated objectives. We help design and conduct testing and ensure project timelines are maintained.
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are all part of PerfOps’ foundational expertise. PerfOps’ founder specialized in this area for 20 years prior to founding PerfOps and our teams regularly address MES and other related automation subjects on our projects. PerfOps maintains the skills and methods to lead selection, implementation and optimization of MES solutions, along with the integration of MES solutions into ERP and Asset/Maintenance systems. We were there before the term “MES” was coined and we literally helped develop the standards and write the handbooks defining what MES is today.
OTHER ENTERPRISE LEVEL SOLUTIONS
PerfOps has deep experience in other supply chain related solution technologies such as PLM, QMS, CMMS, etc. We can quickly generate Enterprise Software Roadmaps which pull all these functions together into a coherent system over the appropriate timeframes. The same methods we apply to ERP and WMS for software and solution provider selection, project planning, governance and management applying to projects in these areas.
Our knowledge and experience across these operations areas gives us the means to quickly create effective systems and operations roadmaps which speed deployment, reduce rework and protect owners’ investments.
