My Big Idea: cloud-native ERP platform Enterpryze

Hi Morgan! What's your elevator pitch?

Enterpryze is cloud-native ERP built for SMEs that want to run smarter operations without the traditional ERP headache. We get you live in eight weeks, not eight months, with a simple system that doesn't require a team of consultants to keep it running. It's ERP, but not as you know it. We've been in the ERP space for over twenty years, and we built Enterpryze to give growing companies a completely different experience.

What does the market need it?

Traditional ERP was built for business with big budgets and even bigger implementation timelines. For SMEs, traditional ERP meant spending a year rolling out the system, paying for endless integrations, and ending up with bloated software that your team didn't actually want to use. We saw hundreds of businesses drowning in spreadsheets because they couldn't afford or justify the cost and complexity of traditional ERP. They needed something that was straightforward, quick to deploy, comprehensive so they didn't have to buy add-ons from five different vendors, and honestly, affordable. That's the gap we filled.

Where is the business today?

We're serving over 1,500 companies across 32 countries. We have offices across the globe. The growth tells the story, we started as a cloud-native platform in 2015 and we've built something that genuinely resonates with growing businesses.

Tell me your business's origin story: What made you think this was a good idea?

I acquired Milner Browne back in 2008, which was a Traditional ERP implementation practice. We grew it to become SAP's largest partner in the UK and Ireland, implementing ERP for hundreds of businesses. But that experience showed us exactly what was broken. We saw firsthand how painful and protracted traditional ERP rollouts were, even for mid-market companies.

We'd spend twelve months implementing when the business needed to move in weeks. We'd have to bolt on third-party tools because the core system couldn't do what customers needed. And we realised there was nobody building for the segment we understood best: Growing companies that needed control and visibility but didn't want enterprise complexity.

So, in 2015, we built Enterpryze. We started with one goal: create an ERP platform that works for SMEs. Cloud-native from day one, so it's modern and simple. No heavy on-premises install, no endless integration costs, no bloated feature set that you'll never

use. Just a straightforward system that helps you control stock, finances, sales, production, whatever you need.

What's your business's biggest strength?

Our experience. We've been building and implementing ERP solutions for more than twenty years. That deep knowledge is baked into how Enterpryze is designed. We know what the common pain points are, what slows businesses down, and what actually matters operationally. That's why our baseline is an eight-week implementation, why our system is comprehensively integrated, so you don't need add-ons, and why our UX is so clean. We didn't guess. We learned it the hard way, working with businesses just like ours.

What is the secret to making the business work?

Good people with a pragmatic, customer-centric culture. I have the pleasure of working with incredibly committed, hardworking, and really smart people who have a huge amount of experience in ERP and can make things happen that other teams can't. Our secret is simplicity. When we think about how to do things, how to develop our tech, and how to look after customers, we cut out the complexity and keep it simple. It helps us get more done, faster and with less stress.

How do you market the company?

We're not a traditional sales-heavy vendor. We teach first, sell second. We use LinkedIn as our primary platform, sharing thought leadership on how SMEs should think about ERP differently. We run webinars around our monthly releases, we've built an Enterpryze University for training and enablement, and we partner with systems integrators and resellers who understand the SME space. We focus on content, customer stories, and proving credibility through our releases and what real customers say. That attracts the right companies.

Tell us about the business model

We provide SaaS ERP to companies who don't want the burden of owning their ERP. We make it simple to onboard and use our solution in a world where ERP is complicated. No one wants to own CDs anymore. They want to stream from Spotify. We adopted the same model for ERP. Hosted, backed up, Security taken care of, and upgraded monthly without the need to invest in any back-end IT.

What were you doing before?

I owned Milner Browne, an SAP Business One implementation practice, that grew into SAP's largest partner in the UK and Ireland. This gave me a front-row seat to every challenge growing businesses face when implementing ERP, and, more importantly, showed me how it could be done better.

Are there any technologies you've found useful?

We're cloud-native from the ground up, which shapes everything. We've built AI into the platform as a core interface. And we're obsessed with integrations that matter to SMEs (Shopify, ShippyPro, and deeper EDI connectivity with retail). We also invest in mobile-first design because growing businesses need to work anywhere. And honestly, our biggest tech win is simplicity. We strip away the complexity that other ERP vendors hide behind fancy interfaces.

What is the future vision?

We're committed to "Always Getting Better." Every single month, we release new features and improvements based on what customers ask for. Our roadmap includes deeper WMS capabilities, Excel connectors, advanced service management automation, and tighter integrations across the ecosystem. But the bigger vision is clear: we want to be the last ERP any growing business will ever need.
