ERP implementations can transform businesses—but only when done right. Unfortunately, many Nigerian SMEs fall prey to unqualified “cowboy” consultants who promise the world, undercharge, and ultimately deliver chaos. At Convergenix, we specialize in picking up the pieces, restoring order, and helping businesses get the full value of ERPNext.

The Problem with Cowboy Implementations:
It’s a familiar story:
The ERP vendor doesn’t understand your business process.
Modules are misconfigured or incomplete.
Users are poorly trained or not trained at all.
Reporting is broken, and reconciliation is a nightmare.
The project drags on with no clear end in sight.
What’s worse? Many of these “vendors” disappear after collecting payment, leaving your team frustrated, confused, and stuck.
Our Fix-It Approach at Convergenix:
At Convergenix, we don’t just patch broken systems—we re-implement ERPNext the right way. Here's how we do it:
Diagnosis First: We start with a full ERP health check—reviewing your current setup, process flow, data integrity, and user feedback.
Process Reengineering: We map your actual business processes and redesign workflows to match ERPNext’s best practices.
Module Cleanup: We fix broken configurations, uninstall unnecessary customizations, and ensure every active module is aligned with your business goals.
Data Repair & Migration: Bad data leads to bad decisions. We help clean up, reformat, and re-import your legacy data—accurately.
Training & Documentation: We train your team, not just on how to use ERPNext—but how to use it well. Every implementation comes with clear user guides and SOPs.
Ongoing Support: We don’t disappear. Our clients get dedicated post-launch support and access to regular system audits.
Case Study Highlight:
A fast-growing food distributor in Lagos came to us after spending ₦7 million on a failed ERP deployment. Nothing worked: inventory was off, sales reps refused to use the system, and reporting was manual. In less than 90 days, Convergenix got them running with clean data, real-time dashboards, and a fully integrated sales-to-stock workflow.
Don’t Pay Twice—Get It Right the First Time (Or Let Us Fix It):
A bad ERP implementation can cost your business more than money—it can cost time, morale, and market opportunities. If your current ERP feels like a burden instead of a tool, it’s time to talk to us.
