How Do I Choose an ERP System?
Choosing an ERP system comes down to matching three things: your company's size and type of operations, your regulatory requirements (like ZATCA and IFRS in Saudi Arabia), and your team's ability to actually adopt the system.
What should you look for when choosing an ERP?
- Module fit for your actual operations: does it cover the accounting, inventory, sales, and HR you actually need?
- Regulatory compliance: in Saudi Arabia, ZATCA and IFRS compatibility and Zakat calculation are essential, not optional.
- How well modules connect: does every transaction automatically reflect in accounting, or does it need manual posting?
- Multi-branch/multi-company support: if you have, or will have, more than one branch or entity.
- Ability to trial before committing: is there a real demo or trial version?
Practical questions to ask before deciding
- Can I trial the system on my company's real data?
- Does it support migrating my data from the current system?
- What's the monthly and annual subscription cost?
- Is the Arabic interface genuine, or just a translation?
