PLAN SCENARIOS TO SCALE AND ENHANCE YOUR SUCCESS
Have you created your what-if analysis and modeled what your business plan should be doing with your new product or service? Our finance experts help you manage your growth, plan your success and manage your money.
Improve Analysis and Results
Owners and investors need to utilize financial modeling as part of their basic analyses. Potential issues regarding profitability, risk, working capital, and future cash flows become apparent through modeling. Financial modeling helps focus on issues critical to your business and oftentimes identifies a hidden issue that may have gone unnoticed until it was a real problem.
Having a well-constructed financial model can help achieve an understanding of your financial metrics which will allow you to better evaluate the health of the business, identify financial issues, interpret and identify historic trends.
Types of Models
Metrics & Key Performance Indicators
Metrics refer to a wide variety of tools that managers and executives can use to track and evaluate the process and performance of their employees, their products, services, and customer satisfaction. In order to establish a metric, a company first needs to find a critical process, find the outputs that correspond to the amount or type of work and then set goals for those outputs.
KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) show how effective your company is at achieving the business goals and objectives.

Software Implementation & Optimization
Optimize Your Current Software to Make Better Business Decisions and Create Efficiencies
BUSINESS SOFTWARE
ERP and POS systems impact almost every aspect of a company, so the success of an implementation is of the utmost importance.
Our team of consultants helps small to mid-market manufacturers, service providers, and retailers reduce the chance of implementation problems by helping manage complexity, risk, and data integration challenges.
Proven Methodology
Whether your company is switching to a completely new system or undergoing a major upgrade, take advantage of our proven ERP and POS implementation methodology. Our past ERP and POS services have helped reduce the load on company resources.
ERP and POS Implementation Experts
While most small to mid-market manufacturing, service provider and retail companies are lacking in implementation expertise, our team of experts are here for you to leverage for the best results. We will supplement your team in all critical focus areas of the project, including:
An Engaged Process
We’re with you all the way. The most successful and seamless implementation occurs when the client is fully engaged in the process. ASKT will help you align your resources, the executive team, and the needs of the project.
ERP and POS Implementation Services
Our multi-step implementation process has helped over 300 manufacturing and distribution companies optimize their business processes. Here are our main areas of focus in an ERP and POS Implementation project:
Pre-Implementation Expertise
During the business process improvement phase, we will help you define your key performance indicators and a reporting strategy as part of the future state.
ERP and POS Project Management
Our project managers are experts in managing and leading client and vendor teams towards a successful ERP and/or POS implementation.
Change Management
Organization Change Management is a key part of process improvement and, therefore a key part of every implementation. We will guide your client team every step of the way in the development of a change management plan.
ERP and POS Education
Our team excels at setting up and delivering effective ERP and POS Education materials to the manufacturing enterprise. All process owners must become “ experts” in their own right in order for successful implementation and go-live. A thorough education process helps with adoption and effectiveness in the years to come.
Design and Configuration
We offer guidance to both the client and vendor team when designing and configuring the system to meet specific business requirements.
ERP and POS Data Conversion
Our consultants are experts in ERP and POS data conversion and management. During the review of the current state and the development of the future state, we will map a data strategy for the conversion of data files, both current and historic. We will assist the client IT team with the planning and execution of data conversion to a new system.
Quality Control
We have significant experience designing an effective development/test phase for extensive testing of the new system in conference room pilot environments. We will lead in-depth sessions for testing of processes, integration, and workflow.
Deploy/Go-Live
We assist in the final deploy and go-live after thoroughly managing and tracking the pilot, tests, data migration/integration and fixes or customizations, and other pre-deployment phases. We will help your company turn the focus onto user instruction, user documentation, and training with the entire user community. Finally, the team finalizes the “cutover” plan of activities, and revises it as needed to minimize disruptions to the operation.
Deliver Business Performance Improvements
We will ensure the project team keeps their eye on the true goal: business process improvement. All too often, implementation teams lose sight of the true goals of the project yielding to the desire to “just get it implemented.” Our change management activities keep everyone’s attention on driving business process improvement that drives business performance improvement.
