Looking for your perfect ERP match? Just like in dating, there are some red flags you’ll want to steer clear of before you make that commitment! Watch out for the following issues and ERP red flags to avoid heartbreak and find “the one” for your shop that truly supports you:
💔🚩ERP Red Flags:
- “Paperless” promises that still leave you holding the paper.
- They claim to be “everything to everyone,” but don’t understand your unique needs.
- They promise real-time insights, but you’re still waiting hours (or days) for updates.
- They’re all charm during the demo, but once you sign the contract, their support disappears faster than a box of chocolates.
- No room to grow – too many limitations!

When to Avoid an ERP
1. Their “Paperless” Promises Still Leave You Holding the Paper
- ERP Red Flag: They say they’re paperless, but your shop floor still looks like a stationery store exploded
- Why It Matters: True love (and a good ERP) should digitize everything, so you’re not chasing down printed job travelers like lost love letters
2. It’s Too Generic to Commit
- ERP Red Flag: They claim to be “everything to everyone,” but don’t understand the unique needs of job shops or precision manufacturers
- Why It Matters: You deserve someone who gets you—like an ERP that knows the difference between a CNC machine and a coffee machine
3. They’re All Talk, No Action (with a Lack of Real-Time Data)
- ERP Red Flag: They promise real-time insights, but you’re still waiting hours (or days) for updates
- Why It Matters: If your ERP can’t keep up with your pace, it’s not the one. Real-time data is the heartbeat of a healthy relationship
4. They Ghost You After the Sale
- ERP Red Flag: They’re all charm during the demo, but once you sign the contract, their support disappears faster than a box of Valentine’s chocolates
- Why It Matters: A good ERP partner sticks around for the long haul, offering training, support, and updates when you need them most
5. There’s No Room to Grow (Lacks Scalability)
- ERP Red Flag: They’re perfect for where you are now, but can’t handle your future growth
- Why It Matters: You’re building a future together—make sure your ERP can grow with you
Real Client Results
ProShop has made client success an important part of our values from the very beginning. Let’s look at some real-life examples of great results our clients have experienced:
- 25% Increased Efficiency: Irongate saw a 25% increase on the amount of work that was getting pushed through. This ultimately led to immediate feedback from the shop floor in real-time.
- 75% in Time Savings: Prior to ProShop, Moseys Production spent a lot of time creating and processing paperwork for new jobs. Now, they have removed nearly 10 days of front-end lead time, leaving more time for manufacturing and delivering early and on-time.
- 95% On-time Delivery: Within their first year, Trillium Machine maintained over 95% on-time deliveries. Being where they are now, they would’ve had to hire at least two more employees!
