ERP Guides
Practical advice on ERP, billing, automation and running your industry smarter.
Attendance rules that quietly break payroll
Payroll errors are usually blamed on the salary calculation. Far more often the salary maths was right and the attendance feeding it was not.
Full and final settlement: what goes wrong
An exit settlement is the last financial interaction with an employee, and the one most likely to be disputed. It is also usually assembled by hand.
Preventive maintenance schedules that actually get followed
Every fleet has a maintenance schedule. The ones that get followed differ from the ones that do not in a few specific ways.
Tyres, batteries and the parts worth tracking separately
Most fleets track cost by vehicle. A few components have their own life, their own cost and their own failure pattern, and deserve their own record.
Food cost: why recipe cost and actual consumption never match
A restaurant's theoretical food cost is a calculation. Its actual food cost is a fact. The gap between them is where the margin went.
Designing token series for a multi-doctor OPD
A single queue for the whole OPD is tidier and works badly. How you split the series decides whether the display helps or confuses.
What a queue display should show, and what it should not
A queue display is the only part of the system most patients ever see. What it shows decides whether the waiting room calms down or not.
What an ERP consultation should actually produce
A consultation that ends in a proposal has sold you something. One that ends in a document you could hand to a different vendor has given you something.
How to write an ERP requirement that vendors can quote
Vague requirements produce vague quotes, which cannot be compared. Then the cheapest wins, and the difference surfaces as change requests later.
What ERP data migration actually involves
Migration is quoted as a task and behaves like a project. It is also the stage most likely to delay a go-live, and almost always for the same reason.
The first ninety days after ERP go-live
Go-live is treated as the finish line. It is the point at which the project becomes real, and what happens in the following three months decides whether it worked.
A backup you have never restored is not a backup
Every hosting arrangement claims daily backups. Far fewer can tell you when a restore was last performed, which is the only fact that matters.
