Scale your business
These five solutions are for the company whose shop already works and whose next problem is everything around it: the Austrian subsidiary that wants to order directly, the four systems that each hold a copy of the product description, the ERP connection that was built by a contractor who has left, the Innendienst retyping orders that arrived as email, and the monthly meeting where sales and finance bring different revenue figures.
They share one root: the ERP. If you have not connected it, start with Connect your ERP, because Reduce manual work and Decide on real numbers both stand on that connection. Consolidate systems is the programme you run once the connection has shown you which systems write the same fields. Go multi-country can start any time the commercial decision is made; it needs a clean catalogue more than it needs the rest of this list.
Each page has the same shape: why the project is harder than the sales pitch, the levers, a phased order, the mistakes we see most, the numbers that tell you it worked, and a blueprint with a diagram, a checklist, ordered steps and the decisions you cannot reverse cheaply.
- Go multi-country: markets, currencies, tax, languages and classification; the Austrian subsidiary and the Polish buyer.
- Consolidate systems: fewer moving parts, fewer licences, fewer integrations to keep alive.
- Connect your ERP: products, prices, stock, customers, orders, in the right direction, at the right cadence, with one owner per field.
- Reduce manual work: from order intake to ERP without anyone retyping anything.
- Decide on real numbers: one version of the truth, instead of five spreadsheets that disagree.
