Whether you are building a new ERP foundation or rescuing a stalled project, the traditional model is broken. Standard SIs sell you hour-based contracts, open-ended invoices, and a system you are dependent on them to run.

As an elite fractional house for mid-market SaaS & Services companies, struo deploy Independent Leads across NetSuite, D365 Business Central, and Sage Intacct.

We operate on a strict, three-phase methodology designed to diagnose the chaos, fix the architecture, and build your internal capability.

Diagnostics

Stop guessing. Start auditing.

Before you commit to a long-term hire or sign off on another SI optimisation phase, you need the truth. We deploy an active ERP expert to perform a Phase 0 Audit of your current foundation.

    • Functional & Architectural Health: Auditing module utilisation, underlying processes, and fragile middleware connections (e.g., Celigo, Boomi) to ensure the platform actually supports your operational workflows.

    • Data Integrity & Reconciliation: Tracking data flows between your CRM, billing engine, and GL to identify where the data could be breaking down.

    • Commercial Leakage: Mapping your current licensing to uncover where you are paying for unused modules or expensive support tiers.

    • Security & Governance: Reviewing user permissions and role segregations to ensure enterprise-grade compliance.

    • A comprehensive RAG (Red-Amber-Green) Report with an initial prioritised solutions roadmap.

    • Fixed-price audit from Independent ERP Lead - depending on customer size and complexity, this can be completed either on/off-site.

Optimisation

Targeted execution, not body shopping

Once we know where the technical debt lies, we can fix it. We bring together our ERP collective to execute the blueprint of solutions presented in the remediation roadmap.

    • Process Automation: Stripping away the manual, spreadsheet-based workarounds your team created to cope with the implementation.

    • Native Feature Adoption: Transitioning your architecture away from highly customised back to the software's powerful out-of-the-box capabilities.

    • Reporting Architecture: Structuring unified financial dashboards so leadership has real-time, trustworthy visibility into the P&L.

    • Integration Hardening: Replacing fragile, point-to-point custom code with scalable, modern integration protocols to connect your stack.

    • We work through the proposed solutions roadmap to get you to a highly functioning ERP architecture that scales with your business.

    • Focusing on immediate solutions that are addressed in the RAG report.

    • We put together fixed-price SOWs payable upon milestone deliverables.

    • Regular updates on SOW progress and upcoming requirements.

Succession Plan

External expertise shouldn't create internal dependency.

Once your ERP is stable, we help you take the system back. We utilise our ERP network to transition you from "Rescue" to "Run" by building ERP expertise inhouse.

    • Fractional Leadership: Providing an ERP Expert as a part-time Systems Lead to guide your internal teams and protect the architecture post-launch.

    • The Readiness Hire: Executing a targeted headhunt for your permanent internal ERP owner, using our technical knowledge of your newly built system to write the exact spec.

    • Technical Vetting: Direct from our network, these are referred experts that we interview so you don't hire someone who looks good on paper but fails in the system.

    • Knowledge Handover: Implementing internal documentation and governance protocols so the system never degrades into chaos again.

    • Complete internal ownership of your ERP platform.

    • Build internal ERP expertise for new users to fully utilise and benefit from.

    • Flexible fractional retainers or executive search deployed at end of project lifecycle.
