Find an ERP integrator suited to your business

Choosing software is only half of an ERP project. The other half is choosing the people who will configure it, connect it and keep it running. This page explains what an ERP integrator does, why it matters, how our matching works and which businesses we serve across the UK.

What is an ERP integrator?

An ERP integrator is a specialist firm that puts an enterprise resource planning system to work in a company. Where the publisher designs and sells the software, the ERP integrator handles everything that turns a licence into a working tool: analysis of your processes, configuration, data migration, connections to other systems, training and ongoing support.

In practice, an integrator is often called an ERP partner or implementation partner. The terms overlap, but the role is the same: a single accountable team between your business and the software. If you want the full picture of the software itself, our guide on what an ERP is is a good starting point.

What an integrator delivers

• Scoping and process analysis: understanding how you quote, buy, produce, stock, invoice and report today, and what should change.
• Configuration and customisation: setting up the modules you need and adapting them where standard features fall short.
• Data migration: cleaning and loading customers, suppliers, products, stock and open balances.
• Integration: linking the ERP to your website, CRM, banking, payroll, warehouse tools or EDI flows.
• Training and go-live support: preparing your users and standing by during the first weeks of live use.
• Maintenance and evolution: updates, fixes and new requirements once the system is running.

Why work with a specialist integrator rather than doing it alone?

Buying an ERP licence is simple. Making it fit a real business is not. Most failed projects have little to do with the software and a lot to do with scope, data and change management, which we detail in our guide to ERP project mistakes.

A good integrator brings four things that an internal team rarely has time to build:

1. Repeated experience. They have seen the same situations many times in comparable companies and know where projects slip.
2. A tested method. Workshops, prototypes, testing and training follow a sequence that has been refined over many projects.
3. Product depth. They know which standard features cover your need and which requirements call for development.
4. Accountability. One firm answers for the result, rather than a patchwork of freelancers and internal volunteers.

How we choose the ERP integrator for you

Searching for an ERP integrator on your own means reading marketing pages that all promise the same thing. Our service replaces that first round of research. We are independent: we are not affiliated with any publisher, we do not implement projects ourselves, and we do not favour one product over another. We introduce; the integrator delivers.

When we review a request, we look at:

• Fit with the software. Does the integrator work with the ERP that suits your needs, and with enough depth?
• Sector experience. A manufacturer, a distributor and a services firm do not need the same set-up.
• Company size. An integrator used to large groups is not always the right match for a small business, and the reverse is also true.
• Method and transparency. How the project is scoped, how changes are handled and how progress is reported.
• Support after go-live. Who you call when an invoice run fails on a Friday afternoon.
• UK requirements. VAT, bank feeds, payroll links and digital tax reporting.

You can read the detail of each step on our how it works page.

ERP software covered by the service

We cover the main ERP families used by small and mid-sized UK companies. Each has a different profile, and no single one is right for everyone.

Not sure which one to pick? Our guide on how to choose an ERP and our ERP comparisons set the options side by side without taking a commercial position.

Which businesses is this for?

The service is aimed at UK small and mid-sized companies, from owner-managed businesses outgrowing spreadsheets to established firms replacing an ageing system. Typical situations include:

• Accounting software that no longer copes with stock, production or project tracking.
• Several disconnected tools, with figures re-keyed from one to another.
• A planned ERP migration away from a legacy system.
• Growth, acquisitions or new sales channels that expose the limits of current processes.
• Regulatory pressure on reporting and record keeping.

On that last point, digital tax reporting is now part of day-to-day life in the UK. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax became mandatory on 6 April 2026 for self-employed people and landlords whose annual income before expenses exceeds £50,000. For the 2026-2027 tax year, no penalty points apply for late quarterly updates, although late filing and late payment are still penalised. Businesses that keep records in disconnected spreadsheets feel this pressure first, and well-configured software makes compliance far easier. See our guide on e-invoicing and ERP for the wider picture.

Sector expertise

Needs differ sharply from one industry to another. We match requests by sector as well as by software, including manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, professional services, construction and several others listed in our sector pages.

What does the service cost?

For your company, nothing. Submitting a request, receiving an introduction and discussing your project with an integrator are all free, and none of it commits you. We do not charge you a fee, we do not sell your request to several firms at once, and you are never obliged to sign anything.

The cost of the project itself is a different question. It depends on the software, the number of users, the scope, the amount of data to migrate and the level of customisation. Our ERP cost guide explains the components of a budget so that you can compare quotes on a like-for-like basis.

How to prepare your request

You do not need a thick specification to begin. A short, honest description is enough:

• your sector and what your company does;
• the processes you want to improve or replace;
• the software you use today;
• the rough number of people who will use the new system;
• your preferred timing and any fixed deadline.

If you want to go further, our requirements template helps you structure your needs, and our advice on choosing an ERP integrator lists the questions to ask when you meet them.
