WHY GESTISOFT

A Better ERP Starts at Implementation

We don't promise a cookie-cutter solution, because that's not how businesses operate. We work with your team to build a solution that empowers you to plan, build, and ship without extra complexity.

  • Preconfigured for discrete production, not built from scratch

    Rather than start with a blank system, we build up from templates already designed for BOMs, routings, and assembly orders, so you can go-live sooner.

  • A ckear plan with no open-ended surprises

    ERP projects go off the rails when the scope keeps changing. With us, you see the scope and timeline before we start, and our structured delivery keeps the project on track from kickoff to go-live.

  • Local experts who stay after go-live

    Our bilingual Business Central team has 25+ years expereince helping Canadian manufacturers. We train your people, support your team after go-live, and help your ERP grow with your plant.

REVOLUTIONIZING YOUR OPERATIONS

What Changes on the Shop Floor

Gestisoft builds systems that empower decision makers with data that can back up decisions. Go from mystery to clarity, with live reporting on every process going on at once.

  • BOMs live in spreadsheets and the floor builds from an old revision becomes Versioned BOMs with effective dates make sure every job uses the current design
  • A missing component stops an assembly that is 90% complete becomes Multi level MRP flags part shortages weeks ahead and suggests what to buy or make
  • Finding which units used a faulty part means digging through paper travelers becomes Serial and lot tracing shows every affected unit and customer in seconds
  • Quoting a custom order means guessing labour and machine time becomes Routings and cost rollups give you a reliable cost before you commit to a price
  • Engineering, production, and finance each work from their own system becomes One connected ERP gives every team the same data, from design change to invoice

If you're not sure where to start, why not start with a call?

If you have an idea on a desired system or not, we'll go over your business processes and priorites to see if Gestisoft is the right fit for your goals.

OUR ERP SERVICES

Ready to implement Business Central? Here's exactly how we get you there.

A clear, benefit-driven path from first conversation to post-launch optimization — not a black box.

01 Discovery and Alignment

Setting you up for success by going over what your needs and goals are.

Before we configure anything, we need to understand how your business actually operates, not just how it looks on paper. This phase is about listening first.

  • Review current processes and pain points across departments
  • Interview key stakeholders on objectives, constraints and priorities
  • Identify quick wins versus longer-term structural changes
  • Document a shared understanding of success before configuration begins
02 Implementation roadmap and milestones

A clear plan so you know what's happening, when, and why.

ERP projects fail when timelines are vague and ownership is unclear. We turn discovery into a concrete plan your whole team can follow and hold us accountable to.

  • Map project phases with realistic timelines
  • Define decision points requiring your team's input
  • Set milestones tied to business value, not just technical completion
  • Share a live roadmap your team can track
We always knew exactly where we stood in the project. No surprises. — Sophie L., Controller, NordFinance Group
03 Configuration and tailoring

We configure Business Central to match your needs, fit-first, not generic.

A generic ERP setup forces your team to change how they work. We flip that: the system adapts to your operations, using a fit-first approach from the start.

  • Configure workflows, business rules and approval chains
  • Build reporting structures around metrics you actually track
  • Adjust the system to your operations, not the other way around
  • Keep configuration documented for easy future maintenance
04 Go-live and aftercare

A structured launch, then real support once your team is live.

Go-live is not the finish line. We stay close through the first critical weeks and beyond, so issues get caught early and your team keeps getting more value out of the system.

  • Structured cutover plan to minimize disruption
  • On-call support during the first weeks post launch
  • Performance checks and fine-tuning once real volume hits the system
  • Ongoing optimization and support as your business evolves

Questions before you get started

How long does a Business Central implementation take?
Most projects run 3 to 9 months depending on complexity, number of users, and whether data migration or integrations are involved. We give you a realistic timeline during discovery, not a generic estimate.
How much does an ERP implementation cost?
It depends on your business size, workload, and scope. That's exactly what our free ERP analysis is for — a clear cost estimate before you commit to anything.
Do you only work with large companies?
No. We build accelerators specifically so growing companies, from 10 to 250 employees, can get a proven implementation without paying for enterprise-scale complexity they don't need.
We already use Business Central. Can you still help?
Yes. We support optimization, integrations, and troubleshooting for existing implementations, not just net-new projects.
What if our team has never used an ERP before?
That's normal, and it's exactly why training and change management are built into our process, not treated as an afterthought.
Do you support industries outside manufacturing and distribution?
Yes, including finance-heavy and service-based businesses. Our workload-specific approach adapts to how your business actually operates.
