ERP Go-Live Is not the finish line - It’s the first warning sign
Most product businesses breathe a sigh of relief when they hit “go-live” on their ERP. The software is live. The project is “done.” Everyone pats themselves on the back. Except… six months later, finance still can’t get clean data. Sales is logging orders manually. Operations has three different reorder systems. And nobody, nobody, trusts the numbers. Sound familiar? That’s because ERP implementation ≠ ERP adoption.

From Implementation to Impact: What Most ERP Setups Miss (And How Ops Can Bridge the Gap)
Most product businesses treat ERP implementation—like Cin7 Core—as a finish line. It’s not. It’s the starting point. In conversation with Christo (Fiskal’s COO and former ERP implementer), Jaco unpacks why so many ERP rollouts stall post-go-live. The core issue? Lack of operational integration. ERP systems are often implemented without real input from the teams who’ll actually use them. The result is bad data, broken reporting, and a disconnect between operations and finance. Without a feedback loop that ties daily activity to system configuration, ERP becomes a record-keeping tool—not a decision-making engine. Christo’s view is blunt: clean data is the system. If your stock isn’t right, your margins won’t be. If your POs aren’t closed, your financials are fiction. For ERP to deliver value, it must reflect how your team works—and your team must be trained to work with it. At Fiskal, the goal isn’t to “go live.” It’s to stay live, week after week, with accurate data driving real insight. That’s why ERP must be treated as a living system—continuously refined, with ops and finance pulling in the same direction.

Mastering Change with the FISKAL Framework
In this blog, I discuss the inherent difficulty of implementing change within organizations, noting the common three-phase resistance pattern of being closed to the process, defensiveness, and stubborn reluctance, which contributes to a high failure rate in change programs. Introducing the FISKAL framework (Foundation, Inspiration, Skills, Kick Off, Application, and Longevity) as a step-by-step guide to increase the success rate of change initiatives. This framework emphasizes the importance of establishing a clear "why," creating buy-in, providing adequate training, setting a roll-out date, supporting real-world application, and ensuring long-term adoption through reinforcement and cultural embedding.

How to use data analysis to see if your team is using your systems effectively
In this blog, I emphasize the importance of actively monitoring software usage within a team to ensure effectiveness, advocating for a data-driven approach rather than relying on assumptions. I outline key metrics to track and suggest methods for accessing this data. Then I detail how to establish benchmarks for "good" usage and interpret usage trends to identify areas for improvement. Ultimately, I advocate for using data analysis to gain an objective understanding of system adoption and effectiveness.
