Perks of ScienceSoft's ERP Software Development Services
Having vast experience in implementing ERP projects of various complexity, we can precisely estimate project costs and delivery time.
Our ERP software development company provides full transparency of the development flow via regular reporting and documented processes.
Revamp of the existing ERP and its extension with new modules usually offer a more affordable way to get a modern enterprise system. However, in some cases, fixing the accumulated technical debt requires way larger investments than building ERP from scratch. We always conduct a feasibility study before starting a project to weigh the benefits of ERP upgrading vs. replacement and define a more economically feasible approach for each client.
