What leaders see
The project looks like a software or configuration issue.
Vendors, modules, timelines, and budgets dominate the conversation while the business outcome, AI fit, and operating record remain unresolved.
Services
ERP Fit Analysis
ERP Fit Analysis
Choose the ERP path that can carry the business forward. The right ERP decision begins with where the business is going, how work needs to move, and which records and controls people must be able to trust. We turn that evidence into a vendor-neutral fit recommendation, investment view, and implementation path.
01
The Business Problem
The software decision is getting ahead of the business decision.
ERP-connected data problems usually begin before AI or workflow delivery. The organization chooses software or modules before it has settled workflow fit, data ownership, integration boundaries, and launch decision rights.
What is actually happening
The operating record is not agreed on.
Processes, master data, exceptions, reports, and handoffs do not yet agree on what the ERP must own and what it should not.
What gets worse
Workarounds become permanent architecture.
Customizations pile up, launch risk rises, reporting trust drops, and the ERP becomes harder to connect to AI after launch.
02
What Changes
What ERP Fit Analysis includes.
The right ERP decision begins with where the business is going, how work needs to move, and which records and controls people must be able to trust. We turn that evidence into a vendor-neutral fit recommendation, investment view, and implementation path.
01
Workflow-to-Module Mapping
Map your order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, make-to-stock, and make-to-order workflows against the ERP paths under consideration, including replacement or modernization where it fits. Identify exact fit, configuration gaps, and custom development requirements.
02
Custom Module Scoping
Define what custom modules, extensions, or process changes are needed, why, and what they cost. Custom development is scoped to real operational requirements -- not nice-to-haves.
03
Total Cost of Ownership
Calculate the full cost: ERP licensing, implementation, custom development, cloud hosting, integration, training, and ongoing support. The number your CFO needs to approve the project.
04
Integration Gap Analysis
Identify what the ERP connects to natively vs. what requires integration architecture. Cloud-hosted integration patterns are defined before build starts.
05
Implementation Timeline
Realistic timeline based on your actual scope -- module count, configuration, custom development, data migration complexity, and integration count. Not a sales estimate.
06
Go/No-Go Recommendation
A clear recommendation: this ERP path fits your operation, with this scope, at this cost, in this timeline. If the ERP path is the right fit, the plan names why. If it is not, the analysis saves months and significant budget.

How It Fits Your Operations
How ERP Fit Analysis fits your operation.
ERP-connected operating recordWhich records AI can trust, which workflows should change, and which ERP connections truly need custom work.
Governance dependencyThe operating record has to fit the real workflow before integrations, reports, workflow automation, or AI get built on top.
Records that must line up
customers
products
BOMs
inventory
vendors and financial records
What Launchpad defines before engineering begins
- What the business needs to change and why.
- Which systems, records, risks, and readiness gaps shape the work.
- What should be built, how it fits the architecture, and in what order.

Decide what to build and in what order.
Launchpad assesses the business and turns discovery into priorities, risks, readiness, architecture, and an implementation Roadmap. Metrotechs then engineers and supports the approved solution.
Metrotechs designs, builds, integrates, and supports the approved solution.
Launchpad keeps priorities, risks, owners, decisions, and delivery governance connected.

Delivery sequence
How Metrotechs delivers ERP Fit Analysis.
The right ERP decision begins with where the business is going, how work needs to move, and which records and controls people must be able to trust. We turn that evidence into a.
01
Current-State Assessment
Map your existing systems, data flows, workflows, and pain points. Document what the ERP must replace, what it must integrate with, and what must not break.
02
ERP Module Mapping
Map each workflow to the ERP's native modules. Document where native configuration fits, where configuration gaps exist, and where custom development is required.
03
Scope & Cost Definition
Define the full implementation scope: module configuration, custom development, data migration, integrations, and cloud deployment. Deliver a TCO model with 5-year cost projection.
04
Implementation Plan
Present a phased implementation plan with milestones, dependencies, and resource requirements. One document your team can act on.

FAQ
Questions that usually decide the scope.
Straight answers to what operators ask before committing budget to this work.
Fit analysis gives leadership a business-owned basis for comparing options before vendor momentum hardens into scope. It reveals workflow, data, integration, adoption, and governance requirements early enough to change the decision.
