Getting started

Agree the workflow before the rollout.

A useful introduction establishes the problem, the people involved and the records available. It does not require sending live customer data or replacing your existing workflow immediately.

FOLLOW THE WORKFLOW

See how the work fits together.

  1. Choose migration, walkthrough or Ledger
  2. Describe your workflow
  3. Confirm data and scope
  4. Agree evaluation checks

FICTIONAL WORKFLOW EXAMPLE

A useful first enquiry needs context, not live records

“We are a wholesaler using an existing ERP. We want to assess migrating product masters, batch stock and customer balances.” This gives a clearer starting point than sending a live database or asking whether every feature is available.

Tell us your current system, the workflow and the desired result. Use fictional examples until an appropriate channel and data scope are agreed.

Describe the working day

Explain the sequence your team follows and where it slows down. A concrete example of repeated entry, a stock question or an unexplained settlement is more useful than a generic feature request.

  • Name your current software and operating locations.
  • Identify who prepares and who reviews the records.
  • Describe the result you need to improve.

Check the product and data fit

An ERP discussion and a Ledger discussion have different requirements. Confirm supported workflows and formats instead of assuming every export or business variation is already covered.

  • ERP: discuss migration, operations, accounting records and audit review.
  • Ledger: discuss supported exports and financial work while retaining your ERP.
  • Use fictional or safely redacted samples through an agreed channel.

Set a bounded evaluation scope

Before any pilot use, agree what is included, what remains manual and how the outcome will be checked. A website enquiry is the beginning of a discussion, not activation of production access.

  • Define the initial records and responsible reviewers.
  • Agree reference totals and representative exception cases.
  • Record issues and decide whether the next stage is appropriate.

Agree the opening position before an ERP cutover

For an ERP migration, the evaluation should include source-to-target checks. Retain access to the old system and keep an exception log during the agreed entry freeze. Only start new transactions after accepting the opening position.

  • Check source counts and the created, matched, skipped and invalid rows.
  • Compare opening stock quantity/value and party debit/credit totals.
  • Record exclusions, customer acceptance and the fallback plan.

Questions about this workflow

What happens after an enquiry?

The next step is to establish product fit, available scope and the records needed for assessment. An enquiry does not activate a trial, production access or a guaranteed implementation date.

What to bring to the discussion

  • Business contact information and a concise workflow description.
  • The relevant export formats, without live files in the enquiry form.
  • Your preferred first evaluation task and expected outcome.
