ERP implementation timeline · New Zealand

How long does ERP implementation take?

Honest implementation timelines for NZ operators across NetSuite, MYOB Acumatica, Cin7 Core, Unleashed, Katana, Odoo and OpsUI. Sourced from 2026 ANZ partner quotes and public vendor benchmarks.

Companion tool to /tools/erp-cost-calculator. Same inputs, different output — weeks-to-live rather than dollars.

Realistic implementation timelines

Ecommerce & D2C · 500 – 2,000 orders / month · 11 – 25 staff · sorted by fastest low end

Inventory + light ERP

Unleashed Software

Estimated
2 – 8 weeks
Implementation phases
Trial & scoping1–2w
Configuration & data import1–4w
Xero / MYOB integration0–1w
Training & go-live0–1w

Source: Public Unleashed implementation benchmarks. Self-implementation against Xero is the common shape; partner-led implementations extend the timeline modestly.

OpsUI modular

OpsUI (modular)

Estimated
2 – 6 weeks
Implementation phases
Demo & scoping0–1w
Module configuration & data import1–3w
Xero / MYOB / carrier integration0–1w
Training & go-live1w

Source: Typical 2026 OpsUI customer rollout. Standalone deployments with 2–4 modules hit the low end; multi-module deployments with NetSuite or complex channel integration extend the timeline.

Inventory + light ERP

Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR)

Estimated
3 – 10 weeks
Implementation phases
Trial & scoping1–2w
Configuration & data import1–5w
Channel & accounting integration1–3w
Training & go-live0–1w

Source: Public Cin7 Core implementation benchmarks plus typical Cin7 partner timelines. Self-implementation falls inside the low end; partner-led complex deployments hit the upper range.

OpsUI Enterprise

OpsUI Enterprise

Estimated
4 – 10 weeks
Implementation phases
Scoping & solution design1–2w
Multi-module configuration2–5w
Integration & data migration1–2w
Training & rollout0–1w

Source: Typical 2026 OpsUI Enterprise rollout. Every module plus all integrations included; timeline depends on integration scope and team size.

Open-source suite

Odoo Enterprise

Estimated
6 – 24 weeks
Implementation phases
Discovery & app selection1–3w
ANZ localisation (tax, payroll, carriers)2–6w
Configuration & data import2–8w
Partner customisation (Studio / Python)0–5w
Training & go-live1–2w

Source: Typical 2026 ANZ Odoo Partner implementation. Self-hosted Community implementations can run shorter; Enterprise with ANZ tax / payroll localisation is the higher range.

Enterprise suite

Oracle NetSuite

Estimated
16 – 36 weeks
Implementation phases
Discovery & scoping2–4w
Design & configuration6–14w
Data migration & integration4–10w
UAT & training3–6w
Cutover & hypercare1–2w

Source: Typical 2026 ANZ NetSuite partner implementation. Range covers low-complexity standalone through to multi-entity with custom SuiteScript work.
