John Hannan LLC is an independent, vendor-neutral ERP selection consultancy for manufacturers, distributors and life sciences companies with $25 million or more in revenue. We do not sell, resell or implement software and take no referral fees, so the recommendation is the client’s alone. A selection program runs 12 to 20 weeks from kickoff to a signed contract - requirements written with your business-process owners, an RFP that asks every vendor the same questions, scripted demonstrations run with your data in the same order for every finalist, a weighted scorecard with a five-year cost comparison, reference checks, the implementation partner chosen as its own decision, and the software contract and statement of work negotiated before you sign. Companies not ready for the full program can start with the requirements and RFP phase on its own. Companies that have already chosen can bring us in for implementation partner selection or an independent decision check before signing. After the decision, client-side program leadership through go-live is available to selection clients, and we take on program recovery when an implementation has stalled. We work with multi-plant, process and contract manufacturers, wholesale and route-based distributors, and medical device and pharmaceutical companies in validated GxP environments, usually at a decision point - an outgrown system, an end-of-support deadline such as Dynamics GP or Dynamics NAV, or a new owner after an acquisition or private equity investment. Platforms evaluated in recent selections include Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Acumatica, Epicor, Infor, IFS and Sage, with their implementation partners. All but one of the companies whose ERP selection we have led went on to implement the system they chose. The one exception was acquired before implementation began. John Hannan is an industrial engineer and former manufacturing operations leader who has worked in ERP since 2002. The firm, founded in 2020, has served more than 100 organizations across the United States and Canada from Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania, working virtually with on-site visits for key milestones. Every engagement is led by John with senior associate consultants who come from operations, finance and IT.
