Stuck After ERP Go-Live? Here’s What Smart Companies Do Next

You’ve invested time, money, and effort to implement your ERP system. Go-live day arrives; everyone breathes a sigh of relief. But shortly after, reality sets in.

There’s no support, No follow-up and No roadmap.

Your ERP partner has disappeared. You’ve been ghosted.

This Happens More Than You Think

At DAX Software Solutions, we routinely speak to businesses who feel abandoned post-implementation. Their systems are live, but nothing seems to be working as expected. Teams are confused. Reports don’t align. Integrations break without warning. And they don’t know where to turn.

 

ERP is not just about deployment. It’s about sustained success. And that requires a partner who shows up long after the go-live celebration ends.

What Causes ERP Vendors to Walk Away After Launch

While each situation is different, a few common patterns explain why many vendors vanish after implementation:

• They See ERP as a One-Time Project: Some vendors focus purely on delivery milestones. Once the system goes live and the final invoice is paid, they consider their work done.
• They Rely on Templates: Many vendors lean on standard configurations to move fast. But speed comes at a cost; flexibility, accuracy, and real alignment with your operations.
• No Post-Go-Live Model: Without dedicated post-go-live support, even small issues can spiral. When issues pop up, you’re left figuring it out on your own.
• They’re Already Moving On: After go-live, many vendors shift gears toward new sales—leaving your project unfinished and unsupported.

The Business Impact of Being Ghosted

When ERP issues go unresolved and support is missing, the impact is hard to ignore:

• Low adoption: Teams revert to spreadsheets and manual workarounds.
• Data problems: Inaccuracies creep into reports and forecasts.
• Wasted resources: Internal teams spend hours troubleshooting.
• ROI stalls: The ERP system becomes a burden instead of a benefit.

ERP should empower your organization—not frustrate it. That’s why fixing a broken rollout quickly is essential.

Two Real-World Fixes

Case Study: Retailer Struggling with Inventory Accuracy

A mid-sized retail company recently went live on Dynamics 365. But soon after launch, they noticed major issues like inventory levels didn’t match across locations, and reports were unreliable. Their ERP vendor had already stepped away, leaving them without answers.

DAX Solution:

• Rebuilt their inventory setup to reflect real operations
• Connected real-time tracking across stores
• Set up clear monthly performance dashboards using Power BI

Result:
Month-end close became twice as fast, and inventory accuracy improved across the board.

Case: A SaaS Firm Struggling with Billing

After going live with Business Central, a SaaS company quickly realized their ERP wasn’t built to handle recurring billing. Subscription renewals were manual, revenue recognition was unclear and their vendor was no longer involved

DAX Solution:

• Integrated third-party billing
• Automated subscription renewals and revenue tracking
• Created accurate, audit-ready financial reports

Result:
Billing errors were reduced, audits became faster, and the finance team had full visibility into recurring revenue.

Don’t Let a Bad Go-Live Define Your ERP Journey

Just because your ERP system is live doesn’t mean the hard part is over. If your vendor disappeared after launch or if your system still isn’t delivering value, there’s still time to turn things around

Here’s what to do:

1. Run a health check: Identify performance and adoption gaps.
2. Talk to your users: Their experience will guide the solution.
3. Choose a partner who stays: You need a support team committed for the long after go-live.
