Manufacturers spend millions implementing the wrong ERP.
Then even more fixing it.
We help manufacturers make clear, confident ERP decisions, rooted in how they operate today and where they’re heading tomorrow.

ERP vendors sell hard.
That’s not how you should decide.
Most companies don’t have a clear, structured way to choose the right ERP — so decisions end up driven by polished demos with big promises, internal pressure, and office politics.
Too often, teams end up with a system that doesn’t fit. And once you’ve signed the contract, the cost of fixing it is high.
What’s at stake?

Luniko helps you select the right ERP for your business.
ERP selection gets noisy — vendors selling hard, internal teams pulling in different directions.
We act as your advisor, not your salesperson — no hidden agendas, no vendor bias. Just honest guidance built from real-world experience.
You don’t need to figure this out alone
O U R A P P R O A C H
We start by understanding how your business runs and the problems and opportunities your teams face
Then we simplify the ERP selection process by doing the work for you:
Defining what your ERP must support
Prioritizing business requirements
Coordinating and negotiating with vendors so you don’t have to
Breaking down total cost of ownership — software, services, internal time
Building a side-by-side comparison with recommendations
Aligning leadership and users before decisions get locked in
Our goal is to take pressure off your internal teams. We help them focus on what matters, without dragging them into months of guessing, planning meetings, and sales calls.

Why manufacturers come to us
We’ve worked with manufacturers in aerospace, defense, chemicals, and engineered products. Some were upgrading. Some were cleaning up a mess. Some were starting fresh.
We know what good looks like — and we know how to keep you out of the bad.
We’re not tied to any ERP vendor. We work for you. Our job is to help you make the right decision, with full confidence and no regrets.

Every stakeholder
gets a voice
CFOs think in numbers. CEOs think in outcomes. Operators think in workflows. IT thinks in integration.
Every role sees ERP through a different lens — and success depends on aligning them.
We help each stakeholder surface what matters most to them, then connect the dots across the business.
The result?
A clear path forward everyone can stand behind
Priorities that reflect both strategy and execution
Decisions made with full context, not siloed opinions
Alignment isn’t accidental. We make it happen — before you ever sign a contract.
