The Right System for the Right Business – How to Avoid Costly Mistakes

The Right System for the Right Business – How to Avoid Costly Mistakes

At SOLO SAP, we often meet companies that have already invested in a system, only to be disappointed when it fails to meet expectations. The solution looked impressive in the sales presentation, but once implementation began, reality set in: requirements were denied, customizations suddenly became “impossible,” and users were forced to continue duplicating work across multiple systems.

This is a common scenario—and it almost always stems from organizations not doing their due diligence before selecting a system.

Common Pitfalls

Common Pitfalls

We often see the same patterns in companies that have chosen the wrong system:

  • Trusting the vendor blindly without conducting a proper feasibility study.

  • Choosing a “well-known” system instead of one that actually fits their needs.

  • Skipping the mapping of processes and business requirements.

The result is a system that never reaches its full potential—leaving the organization with the same challenges as before, only at a higher cost.

Define Needs and Processes Before Choosing a System

Define Needs and Processes Before Choosing a System

The first step is to truly understand your own operations. All too often, companies purchase a system based solely on the vendor’s promises, without first mapping out how their processes actually work.

A more effective approach is to start with a process map. This makes it clear:

  • How departments collaborate

  • Where bottlenecks and duplicate work occur

  • Which areas can be automated

  • How much time and resources can be saved

  • Which integrations are needed with existing systems

By visualizing both the current state and the desired future state, you can see how the system will support your workflows—before making the investment.

How SOLO SAP Makes a Difference

How SOLO SAP Makes a Difference

At SOLO SAP, we take a different approach. We always begin with a complimentary consultation, during which we review:

  • Your current challenges

  • Your growth plans

  • Your requirements for automation and integrations

Next, we create a process map and business analysis that shows exactly how a system like monday.com would work in your day-to-day operations. You receive a clear visualization of workflows, automations, and integrations—before making any investment decision.

The difference? We don’t just act as implementers—we are your strategic partner. We implement monday.com as a platform, not just another standalone system. This means communication, project management, CRM, reporting, and automation are all brought together in one place, fully integrated with your existing tools.

A new system is not a quick fix—it’s an investment in your future way of working. When implemented correctly, it becomes a platform that simplifies, automates, and brings clarity across the entire organization. When done incorrectly, it only becomes another source of frustration.
