From Complex Challenges to Seamless solutions, Divyesh Soni Helps Businesses Unlock Their Full Potential with Next-level ERP!

We are all familiar with the feeling you get when you’re immersed in something you love. Maybe it’s a hobby, a cause you care deeply about, or even your job. That rush of excitement, the endless energy, the sense that you’re truly in your element—that’s the power of passion.

Meet Divyesh Soni, a man who’s been living and breathing the world of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and technology consulting for over a decade. But above the countless companies he’s helped run smoother and more efficiently, what truly ignited his passion for this complex world?

It all started with a simple question: How can technology transform businesses and help them succeed? As Divyesh explored the world of ERP solutions, he was blown away by their ability to seamlessly connect different parts of a company. The idea of making data-driven decisions and fostering better collaboration was both exciting and powerful to him.

But what truly ignited his career was seeing the real impact of ERP systems firsthand. Witnessing how these solutions could completely change businesses for the better was a revelation, and it fueled his desire to learn everything he could about them. With dedication and a relentless thirst for knowledge, he sharpened his skills and became a true expert in the field.

Along the way, he noticed a gap—a disconnect—between businesses looking for ERP solutions and the consultants who were supposed to help them. This realization struck a chord with Divyesh, and he knew he had to do something about it. He projected a consultancy that wouldn’t just sell generic solutions but would truly understand each client’s unique needs and tailor an ERP system to fit them perfectly.

This led him to establish ERP Buddies Inc., specializing in consulting services tailored to meet the unique requirements of businesses across a range of ERP platforms, including NetSuite, Dynamics, Epicor, and others.

Today, as the CEO, he stands at the crossroads of technology and business, using his expertise to guide companies through the ever-growing world of ERP systems. His journey is an example of the power of combining a passion for technology with a genuine desire to help others with dedication, learning, and ultimately, creating a successful business that thrives on making a real difference.

Let us explore his journey!

Inception Story 

“So, after years in the trenches leading NetSuite practices at big firms, I realized something wasn’t right,” says Divyesh Soni, CEO of ERP Buddies Inc. “These off-the-shelf solutions felt like forcing square pegs into round holes. Businesses needed something more, something custom-built to their specific needs.”

“That’s where the ERP Buddies spark came from,” he continues. “I saw a massive gap between what companies were getting and what they truly needed—flexible, adaptable solutions tailored to their unique operations. Pre-built solutions just weren’t cutting it.”

“So, in 2015, I took a leap of faith and went solo,” Soni explains. “We started small, but with a big passion for tailored solutions. We weren’t interested in just pushing software; we wanted to be partners, understand the inner workings of each business, and craft something unique that unlocked their potential.”

“It wasn’t always smooth sailing in the beginning,” he admits. “But we hustled, built relationships, and focused on delivering results that mattered. And guess what? Clients noticed. They saw the value of having a solution built just for them, not some generic off-the-shelf product.”

“Today, ERP Buddies is a global force, serving hundreds of clients worldwide,” Soni concludes. “But one thing remains constant: our commitment to making businesses work better. We help them untangle the complexities and provide the tools they need to thrive. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m excited to see what the future holds for ERP Buddies and the impact we can continue to make.”

Solutions Built on Understanding

“At ERP Buddies, we believe in building genuine partnerships with our clients, not just selling them software. That’s why we take a consultative approach, focusing on understanding their unique needs and challenges before recommending any specific ERP system,” said Divyesh.

“Larger companies can take a more generic approach. We, on the other hand, can offer the personalized attention and flexibility that truly set us apart,” he added.

“That’s the ERP Buddies difference. We don’t just recommend solutions; we help you find the perfect fit for your unique journey.”

ERP Buddies is known for its unique perspective and flexibility, setting it apart from larger organizations, according to Divyesh. While bigger companies may have plenty of resources, they may not be able to provide the personalized attention that smaller consulting firms like ERP Buddies can offer. ERP Buddies combines extensive expertise with a customer-centric approach, ensuring that they fully understand their clients’ objectives and providing customized solutions to address their specific challenges.

“That means we’ve seen it all, from the early days to the latest and greatest. We don’t just talk the talk; we walk the walk, and we’re constantly learning new things to stay on top of our game.”

“So, you can trust that when you work with us, you’re getting a team with the know-how and the passion to help you achieve your goals. We don’t just throw fancy certifications your way, though we have plenty of them, we focus on delivering real results and building lasting partnerships with our clients,” adds Divyesh.

Divyesh was also very excited to tell us about Buddies ProServices, ERP Buddies’ latest innovation to help businesses unlock the full potential of NetSuite.

“We all know that off-the-shelf ERP solutions can feel like a one-size-fits-all approach,” Divyesh says, “and that simply doesn’t work for today’s dynamic business landscape. That’s where Buddies ProServices come in.”

“These are custom-built bundles designed by our team of NetSuite experts,” Divyesh explains. “We understand that every industry and every business have unique needs, and Buddies ProServices is tailored to address those specific challenges.”

“Think of it like this,” Divyesh adds, “instead of trying to squeeze your business into a generic ERP solution, Buddies ProServices act like an extension of your existing NetSuite system, seamlessly integrating and enhancing its capabilities.”

“But what truly sets us apart is the expertise we bring to the table,” Divyesh emphasizes. “By choosing Buddies ProServices, you’re not just getting a software solution, you’re gaining a partner with a deep understanding of both NetSuite and your industry.”

Effective communication is crucial to running a business, enabling the clear articulation of complex ideas and understanding client needs.
