Discovery-First—Why the ERP Conversation Starts Here

Why We Require Discovery First

  • Prioritize what matters most – Your must-have vs. nice-to-have features become crystal-clear.
  • Know standard vs. custom – See where AIMS360 fits out-of-the-box and where you might need extensions.
  • Save weeks comparing systems – A single scorecard summarizes fit across all departments.
  • Align every stakeholder – From sales reps to finance, everyone agrees on requirements before implementation.

Most ERPs jump straight to a generic demo; we pause to ask the right questions first.

What Happens in a Discovery Session?

  1. Feature-by-Feature Walkthrough – We discuss how you sell, ship, and grow.
  2. Scoring Tied to Your Needs – Each requirement receives a 1-to-10 fit score.
  3. Process & Strategy Discussion – Map future workflows and realistic timelines.
  4. Transparent Next Steps & Costs – No surprises when you see the proposal.

Sneak Peek: Discovery Scorecard

Table showing how AIMS360’s Discovery Scorecard evaluates key ERP features for a fashion business. The table lists requirements like retail store inventory management, intelligent allocation, preorder management, multi-warehouse fulfillment, style/color/size inventory, sales rep portal, EDI integration, and returns management. Each row shows the client priority, initial fit, discovery score (ranging from 7/10 to 10/10), and a brief note explaining each feature’s business impact.
(Your scorecard covers dozens of features—this is just a snapshot.)

After Discovery: Your Roadmap

  1. We review the scorecard together.
  2. You decide if AIMS360 is the right fit.
  3. If “yes,” we schedule a tailored demo and draft a proposal & implementation plan.
  4. If “not now,” you still walk away with a clear requirements document to use in any vendor search.
