75% of conventional ERP software projects fail.

It's astounding, but three-fourths of ERP implementations have historically failed, despite forming the core of companies' business operations! Here are just a few reasons why:

Mounting implementation costs

Filled with hidden costs, business spending on traditional ERP systems often don't end with the purchase of the software. They instead begin here and grow with your customization, automation and maintenance needs, burning a massive hole in your pocket.

Internal bias

An understated, but high-impact, contributor to most ERP software implementation failures is the internal bias ERP vendors and system integrators have towards particular ERP solutions. Customers, as a result, end up with ERP software that isn't cut out to address their unique challenges, without expensive customizations and long implementation cycles.

Complex customizations

According to FinancesOnline, the average time taken to get an ERP customized to suit your business and operations landscape has increased from 16.9 to 17.4 months. This stems from customizations needed for traditional ERP systems, which often requires technical expertise and niche skillsets.

Poor data quality

Businesses usually underestimate the criticality and quality of the data migrated to their ERP software from old systems. Their assumption that ERP systems will improve the quality of information is often misplaced. Any ERP software is only as good as the data that gets pushed to it.

What is a custom ERP? What is a custom ERP?

What is a custom ERP?

A custom ERP solution or platform enables you to swiftly build ERP software from the ground-up, with little to no coding. Low-code platforms, like Zoho Creator, are increasingly being utilized to build, manage, automate, and integrate business systems, enabling businesses to consolidate information and streamline processes in a meaningful way, at significantly lower costs.

Custom ERP software with Zoho Creator

software

Automation-first philosophy

A custom ERP system, built on a low-code platform with advanced visual workflow editors, ensures automations are not pushed to the periphery of your ERP implementation, as a mere value-add. Easily deployable advanced automation workflows can bring your ERP system to the forefront of your operations.

ERPs that mirror your operations

With a bottom-up approach to ERP-building, custom ERP platforms ensure that your business processes and culture are at the heart of your ERP software, cascading into every stage of your ERP build, release, and maintenance—from data to design, from development to performance management.

Higher utilization, lower maintenance

Though a custom ERP takes more time during conception and ideation, the build and maintenance takes much less, as the focus is on the business essentials, at the time of different releases. The utilization of features is also close to 100%, since every feature is built to address specific business exigencies.

Seamless data migration

Zoho Creator's enterprise-grade data management capabilities assure easy data import, transformation, maintenance. Secured with encryption, cloud-based backups, and easy integrations, data migration from legacy applications is a breeze, keeping your data quality intact.

Zero hidden costs

A definitive case in point for custom ERP solutions is its transparency in pricing structures. Since users pay for the platform and data storage, and not for the degree of automations, customizations, or third party integrations, you're always in control of your ERP spends.

Empowering citizen development

The gaps in your expectations and outcome arise from your business users' dependence on traditional programmers to achieve your vision. Giving business users a platform through which they can deploy complex customizations and workflows, with a visually integrated development environment, reduces cycle time while increasing your ERP's relevance to its end users.

Cloud-based

A cloud-based ERP offers fast implementation, better collaboration, and increased uptime at significantly lower costs and zero fixed capital. This lets you focus better on your key competencies, leaving behind maintenance and security woes to our experts. Our fully owned, fully encrypted data centers offer 99.9% uptime and complete protection from data risks.

Custom ERP for Retail

"We've built an entire enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution—Ofeefee—for our specific industry (last mile distribution). We like to say it's SAP for our industry, but it costs us a fraction of the equivalent licensing fees. It has digital tools for every step of the product journey: procurement, inbound delivery, inventory management, outbound logistics, account management, commissions, billing, payments, payroll, rewards, and more."
