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?

T H E S O L U T I O N

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.

  • Are we making the right investment at the right time?
    Will this support our growth — or become a distraction?
    Is there governance and risk management in place?

    We help CEOs feel confident that:

    • Capital is being allocated effectively

    • System selection fits both present operations and future plans

    • Governance keeps leadership aligned

    • Key risks and decisions are surfaced early, with a path to resolve them

  • Are we making a financially sound decision?
    What’s the real total cost — now and over the next five years?
    How can we manage cash flow, risk, and capitalization opportunities?

    We help CFOs feel confident that:

    • Total cost of ownership (TCO) is clear, detailed, and complete

    • Capitalization opportunities are identified to protect cash flow

    • Recurring vs one-time costs are broken down and phased strategically

    • Financial risks are surfaced early, with a plan to mitigate them

  • Will this system make us faster, better, and more scalable?
    Will it reduce administrative work — or create more bottlenecks?
    Can the teams adopt it without breaking day-to-day operations?

    We help Operations leaders feel confident that:

    • ERP selection is tied directly to workflows and operational needs

    • System requirements prioritize adoption, not just feature checklists

    • System requirements prioritize adoption, not just feature checklistsProcess improvements and team efficiencies are a core part of the evaluation

    • Risks to production, service, and scalability are identified and managed early

  • Will this system integrate well with our existing architecture?
    What’s the anticipated workload on the IT team — during and after implementation?
    Are we setting ourselves up for scalability, security, and stability?

    We help IT leaders feel confident that:

    • System fit is evaluated against your current and future-state architecture

    • Deployment models (cloud vs. on-prem) are assessed for long-term flexibility

    • Internal resource needs are mapped clearly — no hidden workloads

    • Security, compliance, and scalability risks are identified and planned for
