FAQs
Here are some of the common questions we get from prospective customers.
ERP systems are a great foundation for your operations, as they help support and organise all your business processes. However, they lack functionalities when it comes to inventory and supply chain management. They also eat into your time and resources as they require a lot of manual effort. An Inventory Optimisation software is an add-on to your ERP system that mines its data to create smart forecasts, help you make more accurate plans and automate the repetitive manual tasks, so that you can focus on more worthwhile projects.
We strive to get you live and use the system as quickly as possible. Our agile, iterative approach minimises implementation time while ensuring the solution meets your business requirements. With AGR Essentials you could be live in as little as one week but with AGR Plus it can take anywhere between 6-12 weeks depending on your business requirements. However, this hinges on having clear accountability and dedicated project managers on both sides of the table, sharing the responsibility of a successful implementation.
Most AGR customers see a return on investment within 6 months of going live with AGR, however, many of our customers see it even sooner, or after just 3 months.
If you use any other ERP system, you don't need to worry as we can connect with all leading ERP systems.
You get assigned a dedicated support agent that will be on hand to guide you through the entire process, through implementation and onward. This is a long-term partnership, and we are committed to helping you succeed and grow.
