Discuss ERP for your business

A short description of your need is enough to start. No technical specification required.

01 — DIRECT ANSWER

What should an SME expect from an ERP solution?

An SME ERP solution should connect the few processes that control cash, stock, orders and delivery without importing unnecessary enterprise complexity. Fika first tests whether a standard product is sufficient; custom engineering is proposed only where the operating difference is material.

02

When this is the right fit

  • Orders, stock, purchasing and finance are tracked in separate files or tools.
  • Management cannot see current commitments, exceptions or margins from one reliable view.
  • A standard ERP covers the basics but critical approval or operating rules remain outside it.
  • The business needs a phased system that can expand as roles and transaction volume grow.
03

ERP scope around your business priorities

  • Track inventory and orders together.
  • Make purchasing and approval steps visible.
  • Create the management reporting you need.
  • Identify connections with your existing accounting software.

04 — DECISION LOGIC

Buy, adapt or build?

The right decision is not automatically custom development. The operating gap, integration cost and ownership model should be measured first.

01

Standard fit

Use a standard ERP when the core workflow can operate without material compromise.

02

Controlled extension

Add a focused operational layer when the ERP is reliable but a few differentiating workflows are missing.

03

Custom core

Engineer a custom core only when process, permission or data requirements cannot be represented safely in a standard product.

06 — FAQ

Common questions

Does every SME need a custom ERP?

No. Fika evaluates standard-product fit first. Custom development is justified only when workarounds create measurable operational cost, risk or loss of control.

Can an SME ERP be implemented in phases?

Yes. The roadmap can begin with the workflows that create the highest data risk or operational delay and expand after adoption is validated.

Can the solution connect to existing accounting software?

Yes, when the accounting product provides a supported integration method and the required licenses and access are available.
