Implementation cost variance is less mysterious than vendor quotes suggest. It tracks integration depth, master data cleanliness, multi-site harmonization, and whether manufacturing execution behaviors must change—not only screens.
Drivers that inflate budgets
- Legacy migrations from spreadsheets and tribal knowledge.
- Complex BOM/routing hierarchies with frequent engineering churn.
- Warehouse automation endpoints (barcode, scales, weighbridges).
- Multi-currency and multi-entity consolidation requirements.
- Compliance-heavy industries needing traceability by lot and supplier.
Capricon recommends phased rollout: stabilize inventory and purchasing truth before optimizing advanced planning—otherwise automation amplifies bad assumptions.
