Georgia companies in the $10M–$500M range usually arrive at an ERP decision because a customer requirement or a growth step broke the current system: a retailer imposed EDI, a second distribution center opened, a processing line was added, or an acquisition created a second legal entity. The decision then gets made under time pressure, with requirements borrowed from vendor materials.
PRH Consulting runs that decision as an independent advisory engagement. We define requirements from your receiving, warehouse, production, and customer-compliance processes, score platforms against scripted scenarios from your own business, and model total cost including the integration and data work that usually sits outside the quoted number.
Georgia industry concentrations that shape the ERP requirement
Distribution and third-party logistics
Multi-node inventory, customer-specific fulfillment rules, and integration volume drive both platform fit and implementation cost.
Food processing and consumer products
Traceability, expiry, and audit obligations should be scored against a recall scenario, and yield reporting against a real production week.
Manufacturing and building products
Item attributes, dimension-based inventory, and make-to-stock and make-to-order mixes determine how much configuration the platform actually needs.
ERP problems we see repeatedly in Georgia
Selection driven by a customer deadline
An EDI or compliance mandate compresses the decision, and a platform gets chosen before requirements exist.
Integration scope underestimated
EDI, 3PL, e-commerce, and reporting integrations are frequently priced after signature.
Data readiness ignored
Item master, cost, and inventory data quality determines the go-live outcome and is almost never assessed early enough.
No independent read on progress
Status reported by the implementing party is not a substitute for a client-side review of what is configured and tested.
What Georgia companies engage us to do
ERP strategy and selection
Process-based requirements, scored shortlist, scripted demos, and a total cost model that includes integration and data work.
Implementation advisory
Independent oversight of design decisions, data migration, testing, and cutover readiness.
Project recovery
Assessment and stabilization for implementations that are behind or already live with unusable processes.
Modernization and integration planning
Deciding what to replace versus integrate, and sequencing it so fulfillment is never the thing that breaks.
How we work with Georgia clients — remote, on-site, or both
Advisory work is delivered remotely with consultant travel for discovery, warehouse and plant walk-throughs, and demo weeks. We operate from South Florida and schedule Georgia site time where seeing the operation changes the requirements.
Where we advise in Georgia
Statewide, with travel to the distribution and production sites that matter to the decision.

Frequently asked questions — Georgia
Can you help us evaluate options other than Sage X3?
Yes — that is what a selection engagement is for. We know Sage X3 deeply, which lets us compare it honestly against alternatives on cost, configuration effort, and operating burden.
How long does a selection engagement take?
Typically a few weeks rather than months for a mid-market business: current-state discovery, requirements, shortlist, scripted demos, and a cost model. Timeline depends on how many sites and legal entities are in scope.
Can you assess an implementation that is already underway?
Yes. A current-state assessment tells you what is configured, what is tested, what data is ready, and what scope remains — the basis for either a stabilization plan or a decision to change course.
What size companies do you work with?
Most clients fall between $10M and $500M in revenue, including single-site operations and multi-company, multi-currency groups. Below roughly $10M, the honest answer is usually that Sage X3 is heavier than the business needs, and we will tell you that on the first call.
