Choosing an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) consulting partner is like dating. At first, everything seems promising—you're excited about the future, imagining how this partnership will transform your business. But as time goes on, cracks start to appear. Maybe they don't respond to your needs as quickly as they used to, or perhaps they're not proactive about keeping things fresh and exciting. When your ERP consulting partner feels more like a mismatched date than a strategic ally, it might be time to consider a change.
Here are some common reasons businesses decide to look for something new:
1. Unresolved Technical Issues
Persistent technical problems without timely fixes can disrupt business operations, costing you valuable time and money. If your ERP system experiences frequent bugs, performance issues, or downtime, an unresponsive partner can worsen these problems.
2. Lack of Proactive Maintenance
You want a partner who's on the ball and proactive, not one who waits for things to break before doing anything about it. Regular check-ups and updates keep your system running smoothly and minimizes surprise meltdowns.
3. Delayed Response Times
Slow response times to support tickets can significantly delay critical fixes. These delays can mean missed opportunities and unhappy customers. Speedy support keeps things moving.
4. Inadequate Training and Resources
Your ERP system is a powerhouse, but it's only as good as your team's ability to use it. If your partner skimps on training and support, your team might struggle to reach its full potential.
5. Poor Communication
Clear communication is the secret to making a partnership work. Without it, you're left wondering where your project is, the status of your support ticket, and whether they got your email in the first place. This miscommunication often leads to delays and frustrations that could easily be avoided.
Choosing an ERP partner who outsources its support staff can leave you feeling like just another ticket number in a queue. The difference between a generic, outsourced ticket support experience and a dedicated, knowledgeable time is like night and day.
Why VistaVu Stands Out
At VistaVu Solutions, we understand the stresses of implementing an ERP and aim to make it as smooth as possible. Our programs are designed to support you beyond the go-live and continually bring optimization to the table. We pride ourselves in delivering exceptional customer experience in a variety of ways, including:
1. Customer-Centric Approach
You're at the heart of everything we do. Our customer-centric approach means we take the time to understand your unique business needs. From initial consultation to ongoing support, we're dedicated to ensuring our solutions align with your strategic goals.
2. Commitment to Customer Success
Your success is our success. We take pride in seeing our clients thrive with our solutions. We do everything possible to be a good partner for you and your business. That means regular updates on your support tickets, proactive check-in meetings to see how things are going, dedicated customer experience teams, and expert help when needed.
3. Extensive Training Programs
Knowledge is power, so we offer comprehensive training programs tailored to your team's needs. Even after implementation, you and your team can access our extensive library of training videos. Whether your employees have been with you since day one or are just starting today, they can learn to leverage your system effectively at no extra cost.
4. Prioritizing Ongoing Support
To us, you're not just another number. We strive to be a partner whose support team knows your business inside and out, who understands your unique challenges, and who can provide personalized, relevant assistance. We also know that getting an additional budget for ongoing support and optimization projects post-implementation can be challenging. That's why we've designed a subscription-based service for support hours called MAS (Managed Application Services). This allows you to pick a set number of support hours every month at a fixed cost without worrying about fluctuations. Don't need your hours this month? Put them towards a larger optimization project next month! It's as easy as that.
5. Continuous Improvement
We've been on a decade-long journey to improve your experience. In the early stages, our NPS score was -10. However, after years of gathering feedback from customers, we made changes and developed programs to better meet their needs. We’re proud to say that our scores are now consistently 60+. We always welcome your feedback to ensure we meet your needs. Continuous improvement is ingrained in our approach, and we're open to suggestions for better serving you.
