ERP Implementation Consultants: 21 Firms Compared

In a March 2024 article on ERP implementation pitfalls (opens in a new tab), AArete says it initially limited critical system training to one user. When other users proved unprepared, it added function-specific sessions led by ERP consultants, and the client reached an on-time go-live. The article names neither the client nor the platform.

Its ERP consulting page offers four modules: needs assessment, vendor and technology procurement, implementation (project management with technical integration, run through a PMO) and post-implementation support. AArete says it is "vendor and technology-agnostic" and helps clients manage third-party support networks through an implementation.

Panorama's success stories include ERP selection, implementation and integration with a maintenance management system for an irrigation district, implementation project management for a consumer services company, and the audit and recovery of an in-progress ERP implementation for a municipality. The list names no clients and gives no dates. Named testimonials on its homepage come from Environmental Systems Corporation and Nevada Irrigation District, both about system selection.

The Denver firm says it is "100% independent" of ERP software vendor affiliation. Its implementation page (opens in a new tab) describes software implementation management covering technology, process, change and project management, and its FAQ says cost depends on an assessment of your needs. It also runs a government practice and offers software expert witness work.

Russ Finney, vice president of information systems at Tokyo Electron America, says in a testimonial on Pemeco's implementation page (opens in a new tab) that the company moved to its new ERP on the final weekend and balanced "$51M of inventory to the penny". Mecaer Aviation International's chief operating officer and Peerless Instrument Company's general manager also credit its Milestone Deliverables method. None states the platform or project length.

Pemeco, with offices in Toronto and the US, leads ERP project management, change management, oversight and governance, staffing and audit and recovery. Its FAQ says implementation "usually takes 6–18 months". It reports 800+ ERP projects on that page, while its site footer says 700+ projects; both come with a 100% success rate that the site does not define.

Third Stage's case on technology integration after a merger (opens in a new tab) describes an international manufacturing company with siloed systems after several mergers. The firm assessed its processes and culture, built a roadmap, advised removing unnecessary systems and supported the new ERP with change management. The case was published in December 2021 and names no client or platform and reports no quantified outcome. Its clients page lists sixteen client categories and shows client logos without describing the work.

The Englewood, Colorado firm calls itself "an independent, technology-agnostic advisor", and its ERP page (opens in a new tab) covers strategy, implementation planning, project management, change management, and data and integration. The same page says selection typically takes 3 to 6 months. Its homepage reports 400+ successful transformations, without saying how many were ERP implementations.

Ultra's implementation page says it drove a 12-week cloud ERP implementation for Independent Can Company that went live without disrupting orders, manufacturing or shipping; the case page (opens in a new tab) was published in 2018. The same page describes a rollout across 11 locations for Chicago Tube & Iron, replacing a 30-year-old system, and an 11-month implementation for a pre-commercial biopharma company delivered on time and under budget. It also cites the full Infor CSI implementation it managed for Micro Control, which went live on time despite data migration issues at cutover.

Ultra works for manufacturers and distributors and describes its consulting as vendor-neutral. Its implementation work covers process improvement, project management, data migration, change management and post-implementation support, and it says it aligns the vendor, the implementation partner and your team.

Eide Bailly's case study (opens in a new tab) on MBI, a Santa Monica fintech, says the NetSuite implementation "took only two months and came in under budget". The scope included transferring historical transactions, a new chart of accounts and connections to MBI's banking core and card data. The case does not say when the project ran.

On its NetSuite page, the firm says it ranks as "a Top 5 Global NetSuite Consulting Partner", is a frequent winner of NetSuite's Partner of the Year awards, and that its method draws on "hundreds of successful NetSuite implementations". The page gives no year or source for the ranking.

Jimmy Arkin, accounting manager and NetSuite administrator at Freedompay, says on the GURUS homepage that the company had "a 90-day window" for its rollout and got it done with the GURUS team. A NetSuite partner since 2005, GURUS reports 2,500+ projects delivered.

GURUS publishes its prices in more detail than any other firm here. Its 2026 pricing guide (opens in a new tab), published in May 2026 and read in October 2026, bills hourly against an estimated hour band for an Activation package and three Sherpa tiers. It calls the bands "estimates, not caps": additional hours are billed at the agreed rate. A discount applies when any one of three conditions is met: prepaid hours, buying the NetSuite license through GURUS as partner of record, or helping GURUS tell the project's story. The guide lists discounted rates of $200 to $230 an hour. NetSuite licenses, third-party connectors and post-go-live managed services are billed separately, and heavy data migration may be scoped separately. The same guide puts partner fees across the NetSuite market at $25,000 to $75,000 for a small single-entity business, $75,000 to $250,000 for mid-market and $250,000 to $750,000+ for enterprise, which is its own estimate.

Tom Cesario, vice president of IT at Radio Flyer, says Terillium guided the company's move from JD Edwards to NetSuite, building on "a decades-long relationship". Nick Welter of Kona Ice and John Wilke of Jungle Jim's International Market credit it with their NetSuite implementations. Its case-study list (opens in a new tab) includes three JD Edwards to NetSuite moves.

Terillium says it has over 1,000 ERP projects across NetSuite, Oracle and JD Edwards and more than 250 full-time, US-based consultants. Its pricing page (opens in a new tab) publishes no fees and treats implementation as separate from the software subscription; it says a SuiteSuccess project is implemented "within 100 to 140 days".

ArcherPoint's case-study list names its clients, among them Atlas Orthotic Lab on Business Central, Cysiv on a Business Central SaaS rapid launch and ivWatch on an upgrade from Dynamics NAV. The list gives titles only.

ArcherPoint, which operates as ArcherPoint by Cherry Bekaert, says it has served companies with complex ERP needs since 2002. Its FAQ (opens in a new tab) says implementation "usually takes several months" depending on size and scope, and that its Diamond, Pearl and Basic support contracts run for 12 months, with no prices published.

Columbus's homepage features named ERP projects. Devold of Norway, a wool manufacturer, now runs Dynamics 365 as its new ERP after working with Columbus. The Senator Group, which Columbus describes as the UK's largest office furniture manufacturer, moved its complex desking operations to Dynamics 365, and Vedum implemented Infor M3 Cloud together with Columbus. Most featured clients are European.

The firm describes itself as a global digital consulting partner working through cloud ERP, commerce, CRM and data, with 1,600 experts serving manufacturing, life sciences, retail and distribution, and food and beverage.

RSM's Mizkan America case (opens in a new tab), published in November 2024, describes replacing Dynamics AX 2009 and SAP ECC 6 with Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management. The project ran from 2021 to 2023, covered more than 25 Dynamics modules and 18 integrations, and hit every milestone, including the go-live dates. Its new warehouse capabilities let Mizkan scan more than 15,000 pallets of inventory in three days.

RSM is the US member of RSM International and says it is a Microsoft Solutions Partner for the Microsoft Cloud with 11 advanced specializations.

Velosio's implementation page says Veseris moved from a legacy system to Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management in 18 months, fully remotely, and that Werk-Brau's sales team achieved a 25% productivity improvement after moving to Business Central.

Velosio, based in Atlanta, implements Microsoft and NetSuite cloud ERP and describes itself as Microsoft's largest Business Central provider. It offers Velosio Express, a flat-fee rapid deployment package with a pre-packaged plan; the page states no price.

Alpha Apex Group's ERP consulting page describes custom ERP implementation, integration with existing business systems, custom module development and ongoing support and optimization. Separate pages cover Dynamics 365 (opens in a new tab), including training and support, and NetSuite (opens in a new tab).

The pages read name no ERP client, case study, vendor partner status, price or timeline. Its partnerships page (opens in a new tab) describes working with partner firms that supply specialist talent for consulting engagements, so ask who would deliver your project, who would contract with you, and for references from implementations on your platform.

Nancy Rizkallah, vice president of finance at Threekit, says on Armanino's Sage Intacct page that before Armanino implemented Sage Intacct the company's close took around three weeks, and that it now takes five days. The page also carries testimonials from iStream Financial Services, Sandstone Care and Dianthus Therapeutics.

The page lists eight Sage Intacct VAR Partner of the Year awards, the last for fiscal 2021 before Sage discontinued the award in 2022. Armanino's NetSuite page (opens in a new tab) describes implementation, rescue of stalled projects and customization, and its software practice also covers Microsoft and Workday.

Centric's Pharma Logistics story (opens in a new tab), published in 2023, says the team took the company's NetSuite environment from accounting only to ERP, CRM, lot-numbered inventory and order management without taking the business offline for a single day. The project also built custom applications, which the story credits with a 98.6% increase in fulfillment center processor throughput.

Its ERP page covers software selection, implementation and ongoing support for Dynamics 365, NetSuite and Salesforce, and reports 500+ ERP and CRM engagements and 300+ consultants.

Burrana says Biscit helped it go live on Epicor in two months, covering planning, configuration, pilot and project management. Mercy Health and Aged Care Central Queensland credits it with an Epicor version 9 to 10 migration, and Varley's CEO calls it a key partner in the company's acquisitions.

The Epicor Certified Partner, based in New South Wales, publishes its project process: requirements workshops, a prototype, data migration, a conference room pilot, training, user acceptance testing, a cutover rehearsal, go-live and post-go-live support.

Crestwood's Acumatica page names Premier 1 Supplies and MiiR as Acumatica implementation clients. It also says connecting SPS Commerce to Summit Brands' ERP eliminated 100+ hours of manual work. The page sorts projects into three approaches. Its 90-Day Rapid Start runs on a fixed fee for a single entity with clean, exportable data and standard modules, once the data passes a readiness check. Standard projects are phased, and complex or multi-entity work runs on a custom statement of work. It says the main variable in the timeline "is almost always data readiness".

The Gold Certified Acumatica partner, which also implements Business Central, reports 5,000+ ERP implementations. The first 15 minutes of any support request are unbilled.

RKL's customer stories name Roush Yates Engines on Sage X3, Oppidan Investments on Sage Intacct and Wells Johnson on Sage 100. The Lancaster, Pennsylvania firm says it serves over 2,800 Sage customers in 50 states.

Its Sage Intacct cost page (opens in a new tab), updated in August 2026, gives conflicting figures for the same configuration (three entities, five business users and ten employee users). Its visible example puts the subscription at about $33,000 a year and implementation at $35,000 to $50,000; the FAQ embedded in the page gives $21,180 and $25,000 to $30,000. Confirm the applicable estimate with RKL before budgeting. A basic project, with implementation, go-live support and a year's subscription, runs closer to $40,000 upfront. The page warns that the actual cost "may differ significantly" and should not be used as a basis for contract negotiations.

Clarkston's SAP practice page (opens in a new tab) names it as Dermavant Sciences' implementation partner for the company's move from NetSuite to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition. A separate case on an ERP readiness plan (opens in a new tab), dated October 2026, describes preparing a neurodegenerative-disease biotech for an SAP implementation before its first commercial product. The work included interviews with 20+ business leaders, a supply chain roadmap and a comparison of deployment approaches, including the client's planned "Big Bang". It covers the readiness stage and gives no outcome.

The firm says it has implemented SAP since its founding in 1991 and that its founders took part in the first SAP implementation in North America. Its consulting practice serves life sciences, consumer products and retail companies.

Protiviti's water agency story (opens in a new tab) describes a public wastewater agency whose Oracle Cloud implementation had run over time and over budget. Working with Protiviti's implementation team, it implemented Oracle Cloud ERP over nine months and cut its monthly close from 15 days to 5. Another story describes deploying SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud for a pet pharmacy and supplies retailer. Both clients are anonymized.

Its ERP page covers strategy, selection, implementation and adoption across SAP, Oracle, Workday and Microsoft. Its SAP page (opens in a new tab) describes the firm as an SAP Gold Partner and seven-time SAP Partner of the Year, and offers rapid deployment packages for midsize companies at "predefined price points", which the page does not list.

Surety's SAP client experiences describe support for a Northeastern manufacturer's S/4HANA data migration after an acquisition, a net-new SAP Signavio rollout for an S/4HANA client, and security role support for a chemical manufacturer moving from SAP ECC to S/4HANA. The clients are unnamed, and the summaries give scope without results.

Surety, based in Raleigh, consults across SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, Infor Lawson, Workday and UKG. It works in three stages it calls Advise, Execute and Reinforce, and says of the second: "We own the result." Its homepage reports 2000+ projects, without a period or scope.
