How long does an ERP implementation take?
Traditional ERP implementations for Australian manufacturers are commonly quoted at several months, and complex ones can run past a year. Most of that time goes on fitting the business to the software. A custom build from Praxa Tech works the other way round, fitting the software to the business, and goes live in 30 to 60 days.
Where the time goes
Long implementations rarely run long because of the software. They run long because the business has to be mapped onto someone else's idea of how a manufacturer works: configuring modules, deciding which of your processes to change, working around what the product cannot do, and training people on screens built for a different business.
Data migration adds weeks, and so does waiting: for the partner's next available consultant, for sign-offs, for the next phase.
What shortens it
Seeing it first. A working demo of your own business, before any commitment, settles most of the arguments that normally take months of workshops.
A system built around how you already work. When the screens use your terms and follow your steps, there is far less to configure and far less to train.
Short, visible stages. Weekly progress and a demo every Friday with your own data in it means problems surface in days, not at go-live.
How it works with Praxa Tech
A free working demo of your business in 48 hours. A 90-minute discovery, after which the price is fixed in writing. A 30 to 60 day build with weekly progress and Friday demos. Then go-live, with 30 days of support from the people who built it. See how it works.
For a sense of how fast it can be: Toomey NC, a CNC machining business, was live on real jobs at the end of week two. Read the case study.

What people ask next.
Can we keep running the old system during the build?
Yes. The business carries on as normal while the new system is built and tested on your own data.
Who needs to be involved from our side?
Someone who knows how the business really runs, for discovery and for checking each Friday demo. Not a full-time project team.
What slows a build down?
Usually waiting on decisions or data. Short weekly stages keep both moving.
How much does it cost?
Most builds come in under $35,000, fixed in writing before we start. See pricing.
