What Is ERP Implementation? Steps, Strategies, and Risks

The implementation of a software system—particularly one as complex and expansive as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)—requires a holistic knowledge of not only the software in question but also an intense understanding of your organization’s business operations and workflows.

Highlights From the G2 Spring 2022 ERP Reports

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is probably one of the most mature software markets, which usually experiences few significant advancements other than the occasional merger or acquisition. At the same time, many changes in the industry may not be considered groundbreaking but can considerably impact ERP buyers and users.

Which project-based ERP solutions effectively handle multiple currencies and billing models?

I'm working on a comparison of project-based ERP platforms specifically on whether they effectively handle multiple currencies and billing models, since a lot of systems handle one client's invoice format fine and fall apart the moment a second currency or a different billing structure gets added. Here's where that distinction holds up:

Sage Intacct: Multi-entity consolidation automates intercompany transactions and currency conversions natively, fixing what used to be a manual, headache-inducing part of month-end close. Does the currency handling stay this smooth once more entities get added to the mix?
Unanet AE ERP: Different rate schedules and separate invoice formats per client work the way firms actually need them to, without requiring workarounds even across several complicated billing setups at once.
NetSuite: Jobs and billing that used to be tracked on separate platforms now sit in one system, staying organized even as the number of billing structures in play grows.
Acumatica: Budgets, commitments, change orders, and billing all tie back to individual jobs in one place, cutting out the manual reconciliation that used to happen across separate tools for multi-site billing. Does that job-level tie-back stay clean once multiple currencies get layered on top?

For anyone billing across multiple currencies regularly, does the conversion stay accurate in real time, or does someone still reconcile it manually at close? And how many distinct billing models are you juggling before a system like this actually earns its cost?

Project-Based ERP reviews on G2 describe multi-currency handling as something that holds up fine until a second dimension of complexity gets added on top. Sage Intacct's native multi-entity consolidation, automating currency conversion,n answers the post's own question about scale reasonably well for entity count specifically, but reviewers describing that strength are usually talking about entity count growing, not currency count, and entity count growing together, which is a harder combination to judge from the same evidence. Unanet's per-client rate schedules and NetSuite's unified jobs-and-billing system are both solving the billing-model half of the post's question well, while Acumatica's job-level tie-back for budgets, commitments, and change orders is really answering a project-tracking question that happens to intersect with billing rather than a currency question directly. The post's own closing question about how many billing models justify the cost is probably the more useful filter here, since a firm running two currencies and one billing model has a very different calculation than one running one currency and four billing models.

Question on: DualEntry

Whats the best ERP for Professional Services?

For service-based businesses, project accounting and profitability tracking are usually the hardest parts. Have you found an ERP that makes this easier? I’ve seen DualEntry mentioned as being strong for professional services firms, has anyone here used it?

For service based businesses, I would strongly recommend using ERPNext or Odoo as your core system. Both these tools provide seamless accounting, tagging of transactions across dimensions such as projects, cost centres, regions, etc. and allow you the maximum flexibiity to curate customized reports based on your requirements.
