How to Choose an ERP

A practical, step-by-step checklist for evaluating ERP software before you commit to a plan or contract.

The checklist

  • List the modules you actually need — don't pay for HR or projects if you only need CRM and invoicing today
  • Check how the ERP handles your existing data — will it accept a CSV export as-is, or require reformatting
  • Understand the full pricing structure — per-user fees, annual contracts, and implementation costs all matter
  • Confirm tax compliance for your region — GST, VAT, or Sales Tax should be built in, not a manual workaround
  • Test the actual setup time — sign up and see how long it takes to get real data in and usable
  • Check if you can export your data back out — avoid getting locked into a system you can't leave easily
