When SMEs hear “ERP,” the first thought is often: “That sounds expensive.” And yes, implementing any system has a cost. But here’s the truth: the real cost is doing nothing.
Price vs. Value
Spreadsheets feel free—just like a puppy feels free. But hidden costs pile up fast:
– Stockouts and expedites that burn cash.
– Overbuys that tie up working capital.
– Manual errors that lead to rework and missed deadlines.
– Lost tenders because you can’t prove traceability.
These costs dwarf the subscription fee of a right-sized ERP like Caliach Vision.

The Spreadsheet Illusion
Spreadsheets work for very small, simple operations. But as soon as you have multi-level BOMs, shifting lead times, or compliance requirements, control becomes an illusion. The real plan lives in someone’s head—and that’s risky. Caliach Vision turns that tribal knowledge into a single source of truth for your whole team.
