Evolved360 ERP

We specialize in implementing and supporting Acumatica Cloud ERP, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage Intacct, and NetSuite for mid-sized Canadian businesses. Our focus is on cloud-based ERP systems that integrate seamlessly with your existing technology stack. We're certified partners for multiple platforms, allowing us to recommend the best fit for your industry, business processes, and budget—not just push one vendor. Most of our manufacturing and distribution clients choose Acumatica for its flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

ERP implementation costs in Canada vary significantly by system complexity, company size, and customization needs. Cloud ERP software licensing typically costs $75-$200 CAD per user per month. Implementation services range from $25,000-$150,000+ depending on the number of users, modules, integrations, data migration complexity, and customization requirements. For a typical 20-user manufacturing company, expect $50,000-$80,000 for implementation plus $3,000-$5,000/month in licensing. We provide fixed-price quotes after a discovery assessment.

ERP implementation timelines vary by complexity: Simple implementations (basic accounting, single location) take 3-4 months, Standard implementations (manufacturing, distribution, 1-2 locations) take 4-6 months, Complex implementations (multiple locations, custom integrations, advanced manufacturing) take 6-12 months. Our phased approach gets core functionality live faster—typically financials and operations first, then CRM, inventory, and advanced modules. We use industry-specific templates and proven methodologies to accelerate implementation by 30-40% compared to starting from scratch.

Cloud ERP is hosted by the vendor with access via web browser, requiring no on-premise servers. Benefits include: lower upfront costs (no hardware), automatic updates, anywhere access, built-in disaster recovery, and predictable monthly pricing. On-premise ERP is installed on your servers with higher upfront costs but potentially lower long-term costs for large deployments. Cloud ERP is now preferred by 80% of our clients due to flexibility, lower IT overhead, and faster implementation. For Canadian businesses, cloud also simplifies compliance and data sovereignty requirements.

Yes, ERP integration is a core part of our Evolved360 ecosystem approach. We integrate ERP systems with: CRM (Zoho, Salesforce, HubSpot) for unified customer data, EDI systems for automated supplier/customer transactions, eCommerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento), warehouse management systems, manufacturing execution systems, payment processors, and business intelligence tools. Our team coordinates across divisions (ERP, CRM, EDI) to ensure seamless data flow and eliminate duplicate entry. Most integrations use native connectors or APIs, avoiding expensive custom middleware.

Yes, we provide comprehensive ongoing ERP support including: help desk for user questions and issues, system administration and maintenance, user training (new employees, new features), report development and customization, workflow optimization, integration monitoring and troubleshooting, upgrade management, performance tuning, and strategic guidance on leveraging new features. Support is available via monthly retainers starting at $500/month for small implementations or bundled with our managed IT services for complete technology coverage.

We specialize in ERP implementation for: Manufacturing (discrete, process, make-to-order, make-to-stock), Distribution and wholesale, Construction and project-based businesses, Professional services, Healthcare and medical practices, and Food and beverage. Each industry has unique requirements—manufacturing needs production planning and shop floor integration, distribution needs advanced inventory and logistics, construction needs project accounting and job costing. We have industry-specific templates and expertise to implement ERP properly from day one.

ERP data migration follows our proven methodology: Discovery (identify source systems, data quality, migration scope), Mapping (map old to new fields, define transformation rules), Cleansing (fix data quality issues before migration), Testing (trial migrations in test environment, validate accuracy), Cutover (final migration during go-live), and Validation (verify all data migrated correctly). We migrate master data (customers, vendors, items, GL accounts) and historical transactions (open orders, invoices, inventory). Most migrations achieve 99%+ accuracy with our automated tools and validation processes.

Yes, modern ERP systems provide comprehensive manufacturing capabilities including: Material Requirements Planning (MRP) for purchasing and production scheduling, Bill of Materials (BOM) management, routing and work center management, production scheduling and capacity planning, shop floor control and job tracking, quality management, costing and variance analysis, and integration with shop floor equipment. We implement manufacturing modules specifically designed for Canadian manufacturers, including features for lot/serial tracking, multi-level BOMs, and production reporting. This replaces spreadsheets with real-time production visibility.

Outgrowing QuickBooks, Sage 50, or similar accounting software is common as businesses scale. Signs you need ERP include: multiple spreadsheets to manage operations, lack of inventory visibility, inability to track jobs/projects properly, consolidation challenges with multiple locations, limited reporting and analytics, and hitting user or transaction limits. Migration to cloud ERP typically takes 3-6 months with minimal disruption. We export your historical data, map to the new system, train your team, and run parallel for 1-2 months to ensure accuracy before fully cutting over.
