We work with manufacturers running SAP B1, Epicor, Infor and Sage 200 - and we won't pretend the system is the problem when the process is.
We take on a limited number of engagements each quarter.
Vendor momentum builds quickly around ERP decisions but internal capability to evaluate fit against actual operational requirements is often thin. An independent view before committing to Sage, SAP Business One, Epicor, Infor or any competing platform protects the business from a decision it cannot easily reverse.
When production data does not reconcile with financial reporting, board confidence erodes. The root cause is usually process or system, not just reporting, and needs to be addressed at that level.
Inventory, supplier, and logistics data fragmented across systems creates MI that nobody fully trusts. Getting a clear line of sight requires process and system changes working together.
Large capital or system programmes in manufacturing environments often drift without the board noticing until cost or timeline pressure becomes visible. Early independent scrutiny prevents late escalation.
Growth through acquisition or new markets puts existing systems and processes under stress. Understanding which parts of the operating model will fail first is a board-level question that deserves an independent answer.
When you cannot tell which products are making money and which are not - or when the answer changes depending on who runs the report - the problem is almost always process and system, not the finance team. Fixing it requires a view across production, costing and reporting at the same time.
Most manufacturing engagements start with the Business Review - a fixed-scope diagnostic across process, technology and programme that gives the business a risk-rated view of where the operational picture is fragile. It is built to work around production schedules, not alongside them.
From there, engagements typically cover ERP selection support, MI redesign or programme recovery - always scoped to the findings, never sold as a predefined package.
"We were six months into an ERP selection before anyone asked whether we had actually defined what we needed the system to do. Assured Velocity asked that question on day one."
"I've sat through a lot of consultant presentations. This was different. They came in, looked at what was actually happening on the floor, and told us what was wrong. No framework. No slide deck. Just the answer."
Most manufacturing businesses have. The problem is usually not the system - it is the absence of independent oversight from the start. Assured Velocity manages the risk of the implementation, not just the recommendations. We stay in the room through selection, delivery and go-live - not just the diagnostic phase.
You do - and that is not the point. The Business Review works alongside your knowledge, not around it. We ask the questions that vendor presentations don't, map the gaps your team is too close to see, and give you a view that protects the decisions you are about to make - without telling you how to run your business.

“We were six months into an ERP selection before anyone asked whether we had actually defined what we needed the system to do. Assured Velocity asked that question on day one.”
“I have sat through a lot of consultant presentations. This was different. They came in, looked at what was actually happening on the floor, and told us what was wrong. No framework. No slide deck.”
“Independent, senior, and honest about what they could and could not help with. Rare.”
“They told us the problem was in our costing process, not the system we were about to replace. Saved us a six-figure implementation and six months of disruption.”
“The ERP project had been drifting for eight months. They reset the governance, rebuilt the plan, and delivered on time. No drama.”
“Shop-floor data integrity had been a board concern for months. The process review found the break in 11 days.”
