When retailers think about enterprise software, they often end up looking at large, global ERP platforms that claim to serve every industry under the sun. On paper, these systems seem impressive: they cover finance, supply chain, HR, procurement, and more. They promise global scalability, complex integrations, and a sense of “safe choice.”
But here is the problem: retail is not just another industry. It has unique rhythms, pressures, and opportunities. And when retailers rely on generic ERP systems, they often face heavy customizations, long deployment cycles, and rising costs that chip away at ROI.
The Pitfalls of Generic ERP for Retailers
While global ERP systems are robust, they come with challenges that can hold retailers back:
- Complexity overload: Lengthy implementations requiring armies of consultants.
- Generic by design: Modules that were never truly built for retail, needing expensive customization.
- High cost of ownership: Licensing, customization, upgrades, and support add up quickly.
- Slow to adapt: Innovation cycles that struggle to keep up with fast-moving retail demands.
