Mastering ERP localisation
A behind-the-scenes look at regional success
Rolling out a global ERP system is one thing - but ensuring it meets local finance, tax, and compliance requirements? That’s where a well-planned localisation strategy makes all the difference.
From statutory audits in Sweden to e-invoices in Brazil, localisation is essential for ERP success. At Platned, we specialise in delivering regionally compliant ERP solutions that work at both global and local levels.
What is ERP localisation?
ERP localisation is the process of adapting your ERP system to meet country-specific requirements - like tax laws, accounting rules, invoice formats, and financial reporting standards.
But we don’t stop at compliance. With teams based in key global regions, Platned brings real-world insight into every localisation project. We understand the local context, speak the language, and anticipate the challenges before they arise.
How Platned delivers localisation success
At Platned, we support ERP localisation across every phase of your project - and every region of your business. Here’s how we do it:
Recovery phase: digging deep into requirements
We start by working closely with your business teams to gather localisation needs across tax, reporting, compliance, and more. We don’t just document requests - we help you prioritise what matters, flag gaps you might not see, and offer guidance based on hands-on ERP experience.
Build phase: bringing the vision to life
With a solution selected, we move into delivery. That means:
- Writing function specifications
- Partnering with developers to build and test the solution
- Supporting UAT to validate each requirement
- Leading user training to ensure adoption
Design phase: exploring smart solutions
Once requirements are clear, we explore and validate solutions using industry best practices. You’ll receive options backed by pros and cons, CRIM impact assessments, and live demos - all tailored to your specific country and sector needs.
Go live and hypercare: peace of mind beyond launch
We provide on-the-ground support during go-live and the first month-end close. After that, we stay with you during the hypercare phase to monitor, fine-tune, and resolve any localisation challenges that may arise..
