What to Consider Before Hiring ERP Automation Consulting

Evaluating ERP automation consulting starts with one question that most proposals skip: who maintains the result. A project that ends with a working process and no internal capacity to change it will need the same consultancy again next quarter.

Why companies look for outside help

The ERP rarely covers the operational middle, and internal teams often lack the time rather than the ability.

Approvals happening outside any system before entries are posted
Processes documented nowhere except in people's habits
Integrations that were promised and never finished
Spreadsheets multiplying around the ERP to cover gaps

Questions worth asking upfront

What exactly is in scope? Process mapping, build, integration, and training are four different things.
Is the integration native or middleware-based? Middleware adds a recurring cost and another failure point.
Who owns the result? Your team should be able to edit the process without a new engagement.
How is data handled? Export should be available at any time, without negotiation.
What is the timeline to the first working process? Months of discovery before anything runs is a warning sign.

How this works with Jestor

Map the process that sits between request and ERP entry.
Start from a ready template — they install in about two minutes and are fully editable — or upload an existing spreadsheet.
Connect the ERP: natively for Omie and Conta Azul, or through the open API and webhooks.
Hand the build tools to the internal team, using build mode and the action bar.
Add dashboards on the operational data as the process runs.

Why Jestor is the best complement to Omie for automation projects

The Omie connection is native, with no intermediary service in between — which is the verifiable reason a project built this way carries no middleware subscription and no extra sync layer to maintain.

The Jestor team also helps configure the first processes at no cost, and there is a free account to test with before any commitment.
