When you’re choosing an ERP system, everyone has an opinion.
Most of those opinions are tied to a quota.
ERP vendors want you to buy their platform.
Implementation firms want you to sign fast.
Even generalist consultants may have behind-the-scenes incentives.
That’s not inherently bad. But let’s be honest:
It’s hard to get clear advice when everyone in the room is selling something.
At Accipiter, we don’t sell software.
We sit on the same side of the table as you and help you choose the right one.
Why Vendor-Neutral Matters
Most businesses only go through an ERP selection once or twice. The stakes are high:
- You’re committing to a system that will touch every part of your business
- The wrong choice could cost you years of productivity and six figures of rework
- You may not even know what “right” looks like without pressure-free guidance
When your advisor has a sales incentive, even the best ones may unconsciously push you toward their platform.
We’ve seen it happen too many times:
Good companies buying good software for the wrong reasons.
What Happens When You Remove the Sale
When we work with clients, there’s no backend deal.
No “preferred” partner program.
No commission if you pick one platform over another.
What do you get instead?
✅ A clear list of what you actually need
✅ A side-by-side evaluation built around YOUR priorities
✅ Honest conversations about tradeoffs
✅ Help navigating demos with clarity, not confusion
✅ A partner who only wins when you do
Our only job is to help you make the best possible decision for your business.
No spin. No sell. Just support.
Real Talk: Sometimes the “Best” Software Isn’t the Right One
One of our clients came in thinking they needed the top-tier ERP suite in their industry. After our Strategic Scan, we realized they weren’t ready not operationally, not culturally, and not financially.
Instead of pushing forward, we hit pause.
Found an interim solution.
Gained alignment.
Came back stronger six months later and chose a system they could actually implement and grow into.
That’s how you scale smart.
Not with the biggest demo.
But with the right decision.
