Discover how Intuilize helps distributors unlock hidden potential in their current ERP systems without costly replacements or upgrades
Many distributors aren't realizing the full potential of their existing ERP systems. Before considering expensive replacements or upgrades, Intuilize's ERP optimization services can help you extract significantly more value from your current technology investment.
Before assuming you need a new ERP system, conduct a thorough assessment of your current system's unused capabilities. Many distributors are surprised to discover that their existing system can address 70-80% of their "wish list" items through better configuration and utilization.
Common ERP Underutilization Issues
Distributors typically use only 30-40% of their ERP system's capabilities due to:
- Limited initial implementation scope
- Insufficient training and knowledge transfer
- Business process changes since implementation
- Staff turnover leading to knowledge gaps
- Lack of ongoing system optimization
- Customizations that have become outdated
- Unused modules and features
