Hiring consulting to expand your ERP is worth it when the project involves complex integrations, sensitive data migration, or large-scale process restructuring. For isolated gaps, like approvals, HR, or CRM, a no-code platform tends to solve things faster and with less fixed cost.

Many companies reach this dilemma after realizing the ERP doesn't cover everything the operation needs. The first idea is to hire specialized consulting, but that's not always the most efficient path for the type of gap found.

Consultants tend to be valuable for deep diagnostics and medium- to long-term projects. The point to watch is cost and time: consulting projects can take months to deliver something functional.

## Situations where consulting makes sense

- Full data migration between different ERP systems
- Large-scale restructuring of financial and tax processes
- In-depth diagnostics before deciding to switch ERPs
- Critical integrations that require very specific technical knowledge
- Projects with budget and timeline already defined for external consulting

## Situations where a no-code layer solves things faster

- Building approval flows with alçadas by value and cost center
- Organizing HR, recruiting, or CRM processes missing from the ERP
- Connecting multiple accounts of the same ERP into a single flow
- Adjusting internal processes frequently, without relying on third parties for every change
- Testing a new process quickly before formalizing a larger project
