Solutions

How does a Palmate project run from start to go-live?

Every engagement follows the same path: we review how your teams work today, design the right setup, then configure, customise and integrate the system. Your data is migrated, your teams are trained, and we stay on hand at go-live and afterwards.

How long does an implementation take?

It depends on the scope, the number of modules and companies, and how much customisation is needed. Typical ERP implementations take 8 to 16 weeks.

Can you work with the systems we already use?

Yes. We connect your new system to the accounting, sales, banking, e-commerce and other applications you already rely on, and build custom integrations where needed.

Will you move our existing data across?

Yes. Data migration is part of every implementation, so your customers, products, balances and history are available in the new system from day one.

What support do we get after go-live?

Ongoing technical support, maintenance, system upgrades, additional training and service level agreements (SLAs), so your systems stay reliable as your business changes.

How do we choose the right platform?

Can the platform run in the cloud or on our own servers?
