ERP systems in South Africa — SAP, Sage, Syspro, AccPac, Microsoft Dynamics — are powerful but expensive to license, complex to configure, and require ongoing consultant support for every change. For businesses with unique operational models, a custom ERP is often cheaper over a 5-year horizon than an enterprise licence.

FAQs
Questions you probably have.
How much does an ERP system cost in South Africa?
Enterprise ERP licences (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics) cost R500,000–R5M+ per year in South Africa. Custom ERP development by Bordales Technologies typically costs R150,000–R500,000 as a once-off build — with no ongoing licence fees, just maintenance.
Should I buy SAP or build a custom ERP in South Africa?
SAP and similar enterprise ERPs make sense for large corporations with complex multi-entity requirements and big IT budgets. For mid-size South African businesses with specific operational needs, a custom-built ERP is often faster to deploy, cheaper over 5 years, and a better fit — with no ongoing licence costs.
How long does it take to build a custom ERP in South Africa?
A core ERP module (e.g. inventory + procurement) takes 3–5 months. A full ERP with finance, HR, operations, and reporting takes 8–18 months. We deliver in phases so you get usable software early and can adjust priorities as the build progresses.
