Florida is not a generic manufacturing state, and Sage X3 projects here rarely fail on the finance side alone. The mix is import and distribution heavy: produce and protein coming through Miami, beverage and specialty food production feeding hospitality demand, building products moving through Tampa and Jacksonville, and a large share of companies that buy in one currency, land goods in another, and sell across a dozen island markets.
That combination puts pressure on exactly the parts of Sage X3 that get configured last and tested least — landed cost, lot and expiry traceability, inter-company flows, and customs documentation. PRH Consulting is headquartered in South Florida and has built its Caribbean and Latin America trade experience out of that base, including engagements reaching St. Maarten, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Antigua, and St. Kitts.
Florida industry concentrations that shape the ERP requirement
Food and beverage production and import
Florida's food economy is weighted toward import, repack, and short-shelf-life distribution rather than long-run process manufacturing. Sage X3 has to carry lot genealogy, expiry-driven allocation, catch weight where it applies, and recall reporting that can be produced in hours rather than days.
Import, wholesale, and Caribbean re-export
A large share of Florida distributors buy internationally and sell regionally, which makes landed cost the number that decides whether margin reporting is trusted. Freight, duty, brokerage, and demurrage have to reach inventory cost, not sit in a period expense account nobody reconciles.
Building products, marine, and aviation supply
Hurricane-season demand spikes, long lead times, and serialized or certificated parts drive the reorder, allocation, and quality requirements we most often see configured wrong in Sage X3 implementations across the state.
ERP problems we see repeatedly in Florida
Landed cost that never reconciles
Duty, freight, and brokerage are accrued outside Sage X3 in a spreadsheet, so standard margin reports are quietly wrong and finance stops using them.
Traceability that cannot survive an audit
Lot numbers are captured but genealogy across repack and production is broken, so a recall trace turns into a manual exercise.
Multi-company and multi-currency structures bolted on late
Florida groups with Caribbean or Latin American entities are frequently implemented one legal entity at a time, then need inter-company flows retrofitted under time pressure.
Seasonality the planning setup ignores
Reorder policies tuned for an average month do not survive hurricane-season or tourist-season demand, and planners revert to spreadsheets.
What Florida companies engage us to do
Lot traceability and expiry control
Lot and sublot setup, expiry-driven allocation, quality control transitions, and recall reporting built so a trace takes minutes.
Landed cost and import costing
Purchase landed cost structures, customs and freight cost elements, and the reconciliation reporting finance needs to trust inventory valuation.
Multi-company, multi-currency consolidation
Inter-company sales and purchase flows, currency handling, and consolidated reporting for Florida parents with regional subsidiaries.
Sage X3 rescue and re-implementation
Assessment and stabilization for Florida projects that went live on partially configured distribution or costing.
Upgrades, migrations, and version moves
Moving off older Sage X3 versions or legacy ERP without losing the configuration decisions that were actually correct.
How we work with Florida clients — remote, on-site, or both
PRH is based in South Florida, so Florida engagements are the ones where on-site time costs a client the least. Discovery, design workshops, conference room pilots, training, and go-live support are routinely delivered in person in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale–West Palm Beach corridor and by travel to Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville. Day-to-day configuration and support run remotely.
Where we work in Florida
On-site presence is consultant travel from our South Florida base — we do not claim branch offices. Coverage is statewide, weighted toward the South Florida trade corridor.
Relevant PRH experience
- Sage X3 implementations, support, and rescue led by consultants who previously delivered projects at large Sage X3 partners before founding PRH in 2020.
- Caribbean and multi-country engagements run from Florida, including St. Maarten, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Antigua, and St. Kitts.
- Bank automation and payment integration work relevant to importers handling foreign supplier payment flows.
- Distribution and inventory architecture for lot-controlled, expiry-driven, and landed-cost-sensitive product lines.
Frequently asked questions — Florida
Are you actually located in Florida?
Yes. PRH Consulting Inc. was founded in South Florida in 2020 and is headquartered here. We deliver nationally, but Florida is our home market.
Do you support Florida companies with Caribbean operations?
Yes, and it is one of the reasons Florida clients come to us. We have delivered Sage X3 work reaching St. Maarten, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Antigua, and St. Kitts, including multi-company and multi-currency structures run from a Florida parent.
Can you fix landed cost and margin reporting that is already live?
Usually yes, without a re-implementation. We start by tracing how cost elements are currently posted, then rebuild the costing structure and reconciliation reporting so inventory valuation and margin reports agree with the general ledger.
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.
