ERP and WMS Systems
Software Requirements Definition, Selection and Implementation Support for ERP and WMS Systems
A Systematic Approach To Defining, Selecting & Implementing a New System
Kocer Consulting and Engineering can work with you and your team to orchestrate and facilitate a collaborative ERP requirements definition, selection and implementation that is streamlined and supported by all departments within your organization. The result from hiring Kocer is an improved ERP requirements list that streamlines all functions, selection of the right system, a lower cost contract, improved communication and employee involvement, and a sooner go-live date with minimal disruption and rework. The delivered ERP will meet your business objectives and provide better performance now and in the future. As the president of Kocer Consulting and Engineering, I am very excited about this service and the systematic process that we have developed. This is a high-risk project when done without an expert such as Kocer Consulting and Engineering and we are delighted to help, given the opportunity.
Taking our Client Up the Ladder
We don’t assume you need a new ERP solution out of the gate. Once we have developed the functional requirements we evaluate the current software to see if the needed functions exist. If not we investigate upgrades or additional modules. If these don’t fill the functional gaps we investigate third-party partners, and if this does not solve the problem we look at a new ERP. We call this “taking the client up the ladder”, knowing that the lower rungs involve less cost and less risk.
We have been asked by several professional organizations across the country to present on this topic and would be happy to provide a presentation on Strategies for Defining, Selecting and Implementing ERP Systems to any company that is interested in replacing or fixing their ERP or WMS.

The Kocer Consulting and Engineering software expert identified ERP alternatives and recommendations that were much better than anything we had considered. The Kocer team captured our requirements and picked the system that best fit our needs, in an efficient, collaborative and professional manner. The end result of Kocer’s help was an ERP system with a faster implementation, more robust functionality at a significantly lower cost. I recommend Kocer Consulting and Engineering to other manufacturers who need to select and implement a new ERP system.
CFM Consolidated (Lisa Chissus, President/Owner)
In January 2022, there was confusion amongst the Implementation Team as to where we were in the process, what was completed, to what degree, and what was yet to be done. Upon the recommendation of Impact Washington, Kocer Consulting and Engineering took on the process of making that assessment. Over the course of the next couple of months, Kocer was not only able to answer those questions but to help us in establishing a requirements document that merged the existing one the project team had with Kocer’s best practices. As scheduled, Access Laser went live with the new ERP system on July 3, 2023. The cutover went as smooth as almost any ERP implementation I have heard of. There were no disruptions that stopped us from taking orders, building product, shipping it out, and then billing our customers. The success can be summed up in our customers never even noticed as we moved from one to the other.
Access Laser (CEO & Managing Director)
Kocer Consulting really helped us out with choosing our next ERP software. They were easy to work with and took the time to understand our business rather than make assumptions. They helped with project management, research, and evaluation, and helped us go through the selection process methodically so that we could be confident that we were making the best possible choice for us.
