ERP Implementation Consulting

The Partner Between You and Your ERP Vendor.

The Right Implementation Changes Everything.

Most ERP projects don’t fail because of the software. They fail because no one is protecting the business side of the equation. RTG provides ERP implementation consulting that bridges the gap between your operations and your ERP vendor. We manage the process, the people, and the implementation from discovery through adoption. Whether you’re starting fresh, recovering from a failed rollout, or sitting on a system you’ve never fully used, we make your ERP investment work.

When ERP Goes Wrong, Everything Feels It

Most mid-sized businesses don’t lose an ERP implementation at go-live. They lose it in the decisions made before a single workflow is configured — the wrong vendor selected too soon, processes never documented, teams never aligned. The problems that surface after launch were almost always present at the start.

Where It Breaks Down

  • Vendor selected before requirements are defined
  • Current processes never documented
  • Stakeholders not aligned before configuration
  • No business requirements document in place
  • Data and integrations not assessed upfront
  • Training and adoption not planned during implementation
  • No vendor-neutral advisor managing the engagement

What It Costs

  • Platform drives the process instead of business needs
  • System configured around assumptions, not reality
  • Competing expectations derail timelines and inflate scope
  • Vendors have no accountability standard
  • Integration failures surface after go-live — when fixes are expensive
  • System goes live. Usage never follows.
  • The vendor’s priorities drive the project, not yours

Who RTG Serves With ERP Implementation Consulting

RTG works with mid-sized manufacturers, distributors, and operations-driven businesses where ERP performance directly impacts margins, fulfillment, and growth. Our clients typically have 50–500 employees and complex enough operations to need real consulting support — not just a software vendor’s implementation team telling them what they want to hear.

Manufacturers

Your ERP should connect production planning, procurement, inventory, and finance in real time. We make sure it does — and that your team knows how to use it when we leave.

Distributors & Logistics Operations

Fulfillment speed and inventory accuracy depend on systems that actually talk to each other. RTG manages the integration points, the data, and the workflows that keep product moving.

Operations Teams Inheriting a Broken Implementation

You went live, but the system never performed as promised. RTG steps in to assess, stabilize, and close the gaps — without starting over from scratch.

What Makes RTG Different in an ERP Engagement

Most ERP consultants are aligned with a platform, a vendor, or a timeline that works for them. RTG is aligned with one thing — your outcome. We bring process discipline, vendor independence, and boots-on-the-ground execution to every engagement.

We're Vendor-Neutral. Always.

RTG has no financial relationship with any ERP platform. No commissions, no referral fees, no preferred vendors. That means our only job is to find the right fit for your operations and hold that vendor accountable throughout the engagement. SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics — we’ve worked across them all.

We're Process-First, Not Tech-First.

Most ERP failures trace back to processes that were never mapped, documented, or aligned before configuration began. RTG starts there. We build the business requirements your vendor is held to, close the process gaps your team lives with daily, and make sure the system reflects how your operation actually works.

We Stay Until It Works.

Go-live is not the finish line. RTG remains on the ground through System Assurance and Adoption: testing, training, resolving issues, and confirming that your team can run the system independently. We don’t hand off a configured platform and call it done.

Frequently Asked Questions About ERP Implementation Consulting

An ERP implementation consultant guides the full lifecycle: system selection, process design, data migration, configuration, testing, training, and go-live. RTG also covers the operational layer to make sure ERP settings reflect how the business actually runs. When the broader technology environment needs alignment, that work connects to our software implementation consulting practice.

Most ERP projects fail not because of the software, but because the business side of the equation isn’t managed. Processes go undocumented, requirements aren’t defined before configuration begins, stakeholders aren’t aligned, and training is treated as an afterthought. Gartner research shows that more than 70% of ERP implementations fail to reach their original business case goals, yet organizations that engage an independent ERP consultant report an 85% success rate. That gap is exactly what RTG is built to close. Clean, well-governed data is a prerequisite for any successful implementation, which is why our data integration consulting is often part of an ERP engagement from the start.

No. RTG is completely vendor-neutral. We have no financial relationship with any ERP provider and receive no commissions or referral fees. We’ve supported implementations across SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, and others. Our recommendation is always based on what fits your operations, your team, and your budget — nothing else.

Yes — and it’s one of the most common reasons mid-sized businesses engage us. We assess where the project broke down, stabilize the engagement, and work alongside your vendor to get the implementation back on track. In most cases, a recovery engagement does not require starting over from scratch.

Start with a configuration and process audit. Most underperforming ERP systems have the right data in the wrong structure, or workflows that don’t match how the business actually operates. One of the most common gaps is inventory management and ERP alignment. ERP settings don’t reflect real inventory movement, the system becomes a liability instead of an asset.

A full implementation engagement typically runs 14 to 18 weeks using our RTG 4-Phase Approach™, approximately two weeks for Discovery, eight to twelve weeks for Execution, and two weeks each for System Assurance and Adoption. Timelines vary based on platform complexity, number of integrations, and organizational size. When WMS consulting is part of the engagement, the two go-lives are sequenced to avoid disrupting warehouse operations during the transition.
