ERP is a business investment. It is paid for by the company owners who expect performance, accuracy and efficiency. The interface of a modern ERP must reflect this reality. The goal is not to entertain the users. It is to help them finish their work faster with fewer errors.

One of the most underestimated challenges in ERP implementation is not the software, not the configuration and not the project plan. It is the quality of the data provided by the customer. Many organisations hand over raw spreadsheets, incomplete records or unstructured data and expect the ERP team to sort it out. This leads to delays, rework and serious integrity issues across the system.

Sick industries and distressed businesses are a reality across sectors. In regions like Jammu and Kashmir, units in textiles, handicrafts, food processing, agro-based industries and even small-scale manufacturing have struggled due to outdated processes, inefficient management and inability to adapt to modern markets. While government revival packages often provide short-term relief, the real cure lies in structural transformation.
