Expert ERP Replacement
At Wayferry, we specialize in ERP replacement—helping mid-market companies move beyond outdated systems without falling into the trap of software that doesn’t deliver.
The core issue? Your current ERP blocks business growth, forcing employees to rely on endless spreadsheets. The key to success isn’t just replacing software—it’s ensuring the new system truly supports achieving your business goals.
Most companies define ERP requirements by focusing on how they work today—a critical mistake. Instead, we focus on what processes they run and the outputs delivered.
Our proprietary Wayferry Navigator, with a library of about 10,000 professionally written requirements, ensures precise, prioritized ERP selection. We take clients through RFPs, product scoring, and demos to make informed ERP selection decisions.
Seasoned Experts, Not Generalists
Founder Chris Doig saw these challenges firsthand—first in South Africa helping companies make smarter IT purchases. Then, in over 15 years in U.S. corporate IT, he repeatedly saw the same problem: companies relying on recommendations and reviews, only to regret their choices.
Determined to change this, he co-founded Wayferry in 2010, transforming it from software development to a consulting firm that blends proprietary tools with deep expertise.
Beyond ERP Selection: Implementation & Optimization
Selection is the first stage when replacing ERP. In stage 2, we take a hands-on role as client-side project managers, using what we learned during the selection to ensure smooth implementation and User Acceptance Testing. In stage 3, post-go-live, we help clients maximize their ERP investment through lean process improvement.
No ERP does everything—but with Wayferry, it can meet your expectations and help your company achieve its business goals.

The software purchasing problem
What they really wanted
How they wrote their requirements on the RFP
How the salesperson sold to them
What they ended up buying
How the new system performed in production
What the users thought of it
Why do 90% of software purchases fail to deliver the expected value?
When they discover how much work is involved in selecting ERP, the average company squanders the opportunity by taking too many shortcuts. And that is exactly why they remain average. Click the software failure gallery button below for examples of projects gone wrong.
Don’t squander your opportunity to rise above average. Don’t gamble with your company and your career. Proactively select and implement ERP that maximizes the value delivered to the business.
