Questions about this service
Are you an SAP partner?
No. FiveW is independent. We design the solution and lead the programme, and certified SAP or ERP partners handle configuration. That keeps our advice focused on your needs, not on selling licences.
How long does an SAP or ERP implementation take?
It depends on scope and the number of sites. Our founder has taken SAP live, with critical features adopted, in under six months. Your roadmap will include a realistic timeline before you commit.
Can you rescue a project that is already running?
Yes. We start with a short 5W review of where the project stands, then agree a recovery plan with you and your current partner.
Do you earn commissions from software vendors or implementation partners?
No. FiveW is paid only by you. Partners are paid directly by you for their work, so our recommendations stay independent.
