Likelihood to Recommend VAI (Vormittag Associates, Inc.)
This ERP is suited for products that do not require customizations or personalization. Ideally, if you are selling a product as is, then S2K will fit your needs. Make sure to have all of the requirements for each piece laid out. For instance, with products - know all of your attributes and functionality for product pages ahead of time. Include this in the presentation for ERP selection. Ask what functionality is out of the box, and what is a customization. Ask for quotes ahead of time. This may increase the overall cost of the ERP as well as the time it takes to launch. Example: Product reviews, cross sells, remarketing, abandoned cart integration, etc

There will most likely be customizations made for a particular niche site to integrate with their system. Product reviews, up sells, and cross sells are not built into the website functionality. Customization to the offerings would be needed. Very little documentation or open source resources on instructions or development in regards to the website design and integration with the ERP.

Reimplementing all integrations and not impact business is a challenge Requires a lot of tedious testing so that no role or function is impacted Very time consuming to implement or upgrade.
