ERP projects don't fail because of the software. They fail because of the data that goes into it.
Duplicate SKUs. Missing cost prices. Spreadsheets living outside the system. Supplier codes from 2019. All of it gets dragged into the new ERP and becomes your new operational reality.
The businesses that migrate successfully treat data cleanup as step one, not an afterthought. The ones that don't spend months fixing problems that should never have existed.

Most businesses don't realise how much of their data is actually unreliable until they start preparing to migrate it somewhere else. Here's what we find in almost every implementation.
- ⚠ Duplicate product and supplier codesThe same item entered multiple times with slightly different names. Each one carries its own history, cost price and stock level.
- ⚠ Missing or inaccurate cost pricesProducts with zero cost, estimated costs, or costs that haven't been updated since the original import.
- ⚠ Inventory that lives in spreadsheetsStock adjustments, transfers and write-offs being managed outside the system. The ERP shows one number, reality is another.
- ⚠ Inactive records cluttering the databaseSuppliers you haven't used in years. Discontinued products still active. Customer accounts that should have been closed.
- ⚠ Inconsistent naming and categorisationNo standard format for product names, supplier names or account codes. Makes reporting unreliable from day one.
What happens when dirty data goes into a new ERP
- Stock reports are wrong from day one - and nobody trusts them
- Finance team spends month-end reconciling instead of reporting
- Duplicate orders get raised against duplicate supplier codes
- Cost of goods calculations are based on inaccurate prices
- The new system gets the blame for problems that were always there
- Confidence in the migration collapses - and the project stalls
Free Assessment
We spend 20 minutes understanding your current setup - your Shopify configuration, what's connected, where the friction is, and what a successful migration looks like for you.
- Review your current Xero or accounting setup
- Map your Shopify store and connected channels
- Identify your key pain points and priorities
- Give you an honest view of what BC will and won't solve
Live Demo and Scoping
If the assessment looks promising, we run a 1.5-hour working session. You see Business Central in action with your data and workflows in mind, and we get a thorough understanding of how your business operates today - so the implementation is built around reality, not assumptions.
- See BC live - not a slide deck, a working system
- Walk through your current Xero setup and business workflows
- Identify exactly what needs to change and what doesn't
- Leave with a clear scope and fixed implementation cost
Migration, Go Live and Stabilise
We configure Business Central, connect it natively to Shopify, migrate your data and train your team - then stay close during the first few weeks to make sure everything runs as expected before handing over full control.
- Fixed-scope implementation from £5,000
- Native Shopify connector configured and tested
- Historical data migrated cleanly from Xero
- Finance and ops teams trained before go-live
- Direct access to your consultant during hypercare
- Optional ongoing support once you're stable

About Qwyk
Qwyk is a Bristol-based Microsoft Business Central implementation consultancy working with UK manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors between £2m and £15m revenue.
We build data cleanup into every implementation from day one - not as an optional extra, but as the stage that determines whether everything else works.
The checklist you'll receive is based on what we work through with every client before a single line of data is migrated into Business Central.
