Priority ERP Consultancy

Priority ERP. Done properly.

Priority is a niche system. Not many people know it well. Fewer still have lived inside it, migrated it through seven major versions, and built an operation around it from the ground up. I have.

"I have seen what happens when the wrong person touches a Priority system that has been properly built. The damage is not always obvious immediately — but it compounds. I am not that person."

Who this is for

You know Priority.
You need someone who does too.

■ Situation 01
You've been let down by a consultant

They came in, made changes, and left. Now things don't work the way they should — reports are wrong, processes have broken, and nobody quite knows why. You need someone to come in, understand what's actually happened, and fix it properly. Not patch it. Fix it.

■ Situation 02
You're running an old version

Priority has moved a long way in the last few years — the web interface alone changes what's possible for your users. If you're still on a thick client from 2015, you're not getting the system you're paying for. Migration is manageable when it's planned properly.

■ Situation 03
You're implementing for the first time

First-time Priority implementations go wrong when the consultant doesn't understand the business. I spend time understanding how you actually operate before touching configuration — because getting the foundations right is the only thing that matters at that stage.

■ Situation 04
You need ongoing administration

Priority needs someone who knows it to keep it running well — upgrades, user management, report writing, process changes. A retainer arrangement means you have that expertise available without carrying a full-time salary for it.

What I do

The full
scope.

01
Version migration & upgrades

In-place upgrades from older versions to current — including the move to the web interface. I have done this in a live manufacturing environment over a single weekend without disruption. Planning and preparation is everything.

02
Implementation & configuration

New Priority deployments built around how your business actually works, not how the default configuration assumes it works. Requirements gathering, process mapping, configuration, testing, go-live support, and documentation.

03
Remediation — fixing what's broken

If a previous consultant has left your system in a poor state, I can assess what happened, work out what needs to be unwound versus rebuilt, and produce a clear remediation plan. No finger-pointing — just a path forward.

04
Ongoing administration & support

Retainer-based Priority administration — upgrades, user management, report and procedure customisation, process changes, and reactive support for issues when they arise.

05
Integration with other systems

Priority doesn't exist in isolation. Connecting it to e-commerce platforms, CRMs, or other back-office tools so data flows automatically — reducing manual entry and the errors that come with it.

06
Training & documentation

User training that sticks, and documentation that doesn't disappear when someone leaves. If your team doesn't understand the system, the implementation has only half worked.

⚠  A note on Priority and trust

Priority has a small community of practitioners. Some are excellent. Some are not, and the damage a poor consultant can do to a well-configured system is significant — and not always immediately visible.

I have seen this at first hand. I know what a properly built Priority environment looks like, because I built one. I also know what it looks like when someone who doesn't understand the business makes changes without that context.

If you are evaluating Priority consultants, I would encourage you to ask them to describe a system they have left in better shape than they found it — and what specifically they changed and why. The answer will tell you most of what you need to know.

How I work

Remote-first.
On-site when it matters.

Most Priority work — administration, configuration, report writing, support, remote upgrades — can be done entirely remotely. I am UK-based and work across UK and European businesses without needing to be in the room.

For implementations, migrations, and go-live support, I come to you. A migration weekend is not something to manage from a screen in another country — I book myself in, I am on-site, and I stay until it is right. That is not a selling point. It is just how this kind of work has to be done.

Engagements start with a free 30-minute call. I will ask about your current setup, your version, your pain points, and what you actually need. If I can help, I will tell you clearly how and what it will cost. If I cannot, I will tell you that too.

Retainer — for ongoing Priority administration, support, and minor development. A fixed monthly cost, a defined number of hours, and a direct line to someone who knows your system.

Project — for migrations, implementations, and remediation work. Fixed-price or capped-cost quotes, written proposal before anything starts, and a clear scope so there are no surprises.

Advisory — if you are not sure whether your current Priority setup is as it should be, I can carry out an independent assessment and give you an honest view. No obligation to engage further.

All engagements are direct. You deal with me throughout — not an account manager, not a junior on the tools, not a team I have briefed. The person who understands your problem is the person who solves it.

Tell me about
your Priority system.

Whether you have a specific problem, a project in mind, or just want an honest independent view of where your system stands — a 30-minute call costs nothing.
