Getting started in 3 simple steps
Research
Merchanter is a versatile system equipped with a wide range of capabilities that can be customised to align perfectly with your business needs.
Choose whether you would like a call to discuss your requirements, a guided demo to show off how Merchanter might be a fit, or try the demo system out in your own time.
Understanding
When you're confident Merchanter is the system for you, we'll visit site for a walk through your operations.
We'll follow up with a Business Process Report (BPR), outlining how Merchanter will fit alongside the way you run, and the improvements it'll bring.
Trading
After your implementation project, and once all members of staff are Merchanter pros, you're ready to go.
Our UK-based helpdesk team will be with you should you need us, every step of the way.
Moving to Merchanter
Traditionally it would take several months from signing a contract for a new ERP system and having it installed, integrated and ready to go.
We are setting new records in how fast customers can be up and running with the system; one recent client had the system installed and all staff onboarded within one month of doing the demo.
That makes it one of the, if not the, fastest and most agile system available in the UK today.
1 - Upload current data
Use smart tools to simply upload customer, supplier and product information, via spreadsheets, from your current software.
We provide guidance to make coding and setup as simple and quick as possible
2 - Configuration
We work with you to configure the operations of the system to fit your business.
From configuring printers and email, to what each user can see and do, a well configured system is an easily used system.
3 - Training & go live
Every Merchanter implementation comes with unlimited online training.
We also make sure your project manager is totally available to you the day you go live.
