ERP Implementation Partner
ERP implementation partner for growing SMBs
From the initial consultation to well beyond go-live: a single partner who selects, configures, and continuously improves your ERP system. For over thirty years, serving wholesalers and manufacturers.
ERP Implementation Partner
An ERP partner that supports the implementation
An ERP implementation partner ensures that an ERP system works effectively in practice. This partner maps out your processes, configures the software accordingly, gets your employees on board, and remains available after the system goes live.
The software determines what’s possible. The partner determines whether it actually happens.
That’s why a project at Logres doesn’t start with software, but with the way your organization operates. How does an order come in, where is the inventory, and what should a customer be able to see in a week?
Only once that is clear will it become apparent which setup is best suited to your industry and your growth plans. This results in an ERP environment that is technically sound and also works for the people who use it every day.

ERP implementation
Here’s how an ERP implementation works at Logres
An ERP implementation follows a set of fixed steps. The order is fixed, but what happens in each step depends on your business. This way, you know where you stand at any given moment and what comes next.
1.
Introduction
An initial consultation about your business, your processes, and where you’re currently facing challenges, with someone who understands your industry.
2.
Demo
You’ll see the system in action using examples from your own business—not just a standard presentation.
3.
Investment proposal
A clear proposal outlining the time and cost of the implementation, as well as what’s included.
4.
Business Blueprint
Together with your key users, we define how each process will run in the system.
5.
Implementation and training
The system is set up, data is migrated, and your employees are trained on their specific tasks.
6.
Live
Consultants are on-site from the very beginning, so questions are answered right away.
7.
Support and optimization
An evaluation will take place after a few weeks. After that, the support desk will remain available, and the system will be further fine-tuned.

Turnaround Time and Costs
How long does an ERP implementation take?
For most SMBs, an ERP implementation takes between four months and about a year. Exactly how long it takes depends on the number of processes, the amount of data that needs to be included, and how much time your own staff can dedicate to the project.
A wholesaler with a streamlined product range can make the switch quickly: Gelecon Wholesale migrated to Klipboard Wholesale in four months. A company that also manufactures, needs data integrations, or wants to clean up its database first will likely take around nine months to a year.
How much does an ERP implementation cost?
The costs of an ERP implementation consist of three parts: licenses, hours spent on setup, training, and support, and any integrations or customizations. The hours usually account for the largest portion of the cost, and they are directly related to the scope of the project.
The costs for your company are clearly outlined in the investment proposal. You’ll receive this before anything is set up, so you’ll know exactly what to expect in advance.
Success Factors
What Makes an ERP Implementation Successful
An implementation is successful when the people working with it trust the system from day one. That’s why key users are involved from the blueprint stage, and training is tailored to their actual work rather than isolated screens.
The second most important factor is a partner who understands the industry. A consultant who knows how a wholesaler handles rush orders or how a manufacturer works with batches will ask the right questions from the start. That saves months.
An ERP system is only truly successful when your employees no longer want to go back to the old way of working.

Customer story
Maasland: Live in Nine Months
Maasland Wholesale, which specializes in access control, had been trying for years to have its own system built. With SAP Business One, the new ERP system was up and running within nine months. After going live, Logres remained involved one day per month to further fine-tune the system.
“We were ultimately able to implement SAP Business One in a record time of 9 months. It was a huge relief after years of trying to have our own system built.”
Willeke Bisschop, Chief Operating Officer at Maasland
“In some ways, SAP Business One is increasingly being tailored to our needs, but sometimes we’ve also had to change the way we work. Fortunately, Logres provides us with expert advice on that.”
