We guide clients through software selection, system design, and project management while ensuring full compliance with local tax, HR, and audit standards. Our cross-functional team helps localize global ERP systems, integrate third-party platforms, and deploy modules that enhance visibility, automation, and internal controls—ensuring ERP solutions remain scalable, compliant, and operationally aligned across Asia.

    Localization is more than language or currency—it’s about aligning ERP workflows with statutory and cultural expectations. We translate global processes into compliant local configurations, ensuring payroll, e- invoicing, and tax modules are embedded within the ERP to meet jurisdictional rules while maintaining global oversight.

    We work with a wide range of global and regional ERP platforms to suit varying enterprise needs and scales:

    • Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Business Central, Finance & Operations)
    • SAP (S/4HANA, Business One)
    • Oracle NetSuite
    • Odoo, Zoho ERP
    • QuickBooks and Xero (lightweight options)

    A typical implementation follows five phases: discovery, configuration, testing, go- live, and optimization. We manage each stage with clear milestones and cross- functional input, allowing clients to maintain control while minimizing project risk.

    Yes, we provide comprehensive support for regional system integrations that enhance local compliance and efficiency:

    • E- invoicing and VAT systems (e.g., China Golden Tax, India’s GSTN)
    • Localized banking APIs for payment automation and reconciliation
    • Expense software like Concur, Zoho, and internal approval systems
    • Multi- platform data feeds for tax, HR, and treasury compliance

    Our advisors configure workflows in line with local rules—from tax codes and filing timelines to salary deductions and invoice formats. Each market is supported by in- country professionals who ensure compliance logic is embedded and regularly updated within the system.

    We do. We handle the technical and governance side of data migration, ensuring clean, de- duplicated, and audit- ready data is loaded into the ERP. This is especially important when consolidating multiple legacy systems or moving into cloud- based platforms.

    Yes. Beyond deployment, we provide localized user training, role- based system walkthroughs, and access to support channels for troubleshooting. Our approach ensures internal teams remain confident and systems remain stable long after go- live.

    Expect 4 to 9 months depending on the number of markets and system complexity. We recommend phased deployments, starting with high- priority jurisdictions. Our project managers coordinate with both client and vendor teams to streamline resource use across regions.

    To properly scope an ERP project and ensure accurate localization planning, we ask for the following:

    • Country coverage and reporting requirements
    • Current system environment
    • Key workflows (HR, finance, compliance)
    • Internal and vendor contacts
    • Rollout deadlines or audit pressures
