When shopping for ERP software, it’s easy to get lost in the weeds.

It’s not long before one solution looks identical to the next. It becomes hard to separate one from the other, so you can be confident in your decision. One extremely important differentiator that often gets overlooked because it’s hard to quantify is ERP vendors and client satisfaction.

How does the ERP vendor treat its customers? After all, when you buy ERP software, it’s an investment that will affect your business for years, if not decades, to come. So, taking time to consider how the ERP vendor will treat you after the sale is a must.

But where can you find this information? Once upon a time, the only way to get this information was to speak to other companies who bought the same ERP software you’re considering. While checking references is important, the internet can also provide information.

Consider looking at:

• Software review sites like G2, software advice, tech radar, etc.
• Analyst reports from Gartner, Infotech, software advice and the like.
• Vendor websites: Look at the about us, why choose us pages to get a sense of the company’s values.

Do they seem to place an emphasis on customer relations and supporting the customer after the sale? Or do their marketing tactics lean more heavily on making the sale? If this is the case, it might lead you to question whether the vendor is interested in building long-term relationships with each of its clients. Or speculate whether they measure success solely based on the quantity of deals they can complete each month, quarter, or year.
