Rolling out ERP is as much about people as it is about technology. Here is the VAERP playbook we use to keep teams aligned and accountable.
Phase 1: Discovery & proof (Week 1-2)
- Goal-first workshops focused on revenue, margin, and reporting needs.
- A quick pilot with sample data to validate the proposed flows.
- A “stop/continue” review with leadership before expanding scope.
Phase 2: Build the essentials (Week 3-6)
- Configure finance, procurement, inventory, and POS (for restaurants) together.
- Wire dashboards early so leaders see the score as we build.
- Write the SOPs and checklists your teams will run after go-live.
Phase 3: Train, launch, support (Week 7-8+)
- Role-based training for managers, finance, and frontline staff.
- A hypercare window with measurable SLAs and a single escalation path.
- Weekly ROI reviews to track adoption, errors, and the dollars saved.
The outcome: a system your teams use daily, with clear numbers to prove it is paying for itself. Want the checklist and templates? Book a 30-minute call and we will send them over.
