Are you thinking about ERP but not sure if your business is ready? In this episode of The ABCs of ERP & Beyond, we break down the Top 5 signs you’re not ready for ERP — and more importantly, what you should do about it.  
  
👉 Topics covered:

- ERP isn’t QuickBooks (process mapping matters)
- Time dedication — why ERP slows you down before speeding you up
- Why you need an internal accounting team
- Negative inventory and why ERP won’t magically fix it
- The danger of not assigning a project manager

  
If any of these sound familiar, it doesn’t mean you’ll never be ready. It means you have a chance to fix the foundations so ERP becomes a growth engine instead of a roadblock.
