01 · Business Challenge

The pressure on finance and operations leaders has changed.

Slow support response times

Tickets sit in queues, escalations stall, and the business carries the cost of waiting.

System downtime and disruptions

Outages and incidents hit operations and finance — with no clear ownership of resolution or prevention.

Limited internal ERP expertise

Institutional knowledge is concentrated in one or two people, and walks out the door when they do.

User adoption challenges

Users work around the system instead of through it, eroding data quality and the value of the ERP investment.

Performance issues

Reports run slowly, transactions lag, and no-one is actively tuning the platform.

Lack of proactive system maintenance

Patches, health checks and housekeeping fall behind, quietly increasing risk.

Difficulty managing upgrades and enhancements

Upgrades become big, scary projects instead of routine, planned events.

02 · Business Impact

Without ERP Support & Managed Services, this costs the business:

Hours
Lost per week to unresolved issues and slow response
High
Key-person dependency and knowledge concentration
Falling
User confidence in the platform and the data
Hidden
Risk from missed patches, upgrades and tuning

06 · FAQs

ERP Support & Managed Services FAQs - Questions finance leaders ask us first.

Do I need a support contract to receive assistance?+

A support contract is the best way to get predictable response times, SLAs and proactive monitoring. We can also assist on an ad-hoc basis, but contracted customers are prioritised and benefit from a team that already knows their environment.

What is included in managed services?+

Managed services typically include helpdesk and SLA-driven support, proactive monitoring, system health checks, user assistance, performance optimisation, upgrade planning, and ongoing advisory. Scope is tailored to your environment and operating needs.

Can Lorge support systems implemented by another partner?+

Yes. We regularly take over Sage 300, Sage X3, Sage Intacct and Sage 300 People environments from other partners. We stabilise the system, document it, complete any unfinished integrations, and put a proper support and roadmap function around the platform.

Do you provide remote support?+

Yes. Most support is delivered remotely by our local South African team, with on-site visits when the situation calls for it.

Can support agreements be tailored?+

Yes. SLAs, hours of cover, scope and response times are tailored to the size, complexity and operating hours of your business — not a one-size-fits-all package.
