Indpedendent Advice
with Measureable Results

Most ERP and digital transformation projects fail not because the technology is weak, but because the consulting approach is generic. At Dreher Consulting, we deliberately reject projects where we cannot deliver measurable value.

Our independence and first-principle method mean every solution is tailored to your unique challenges.

Why We're Different

We believe real consulting means independence, selectivity and measurable outcomes. That’s why every project we take on is driven by results, not revenue. Our difference lies in how we work: independent thinking, selective partnerships and a relentless focus on measurable business results.

Measurable Results

Every project is tied to clear KPIs — faster delivery, tighter budgets and  stronger compliance.

The Problem
Standardised Solutions for Unique Challenges

Far too many consultancies rely on “best practices” that ignore the differences between companies. The result is projects that are over budget, behind schedule and fail to meet expectations.

Why? Standard consultancies follow a rigid Workshop Requirements Vendor Implementation model, ignoring the unique conetext of each client.

Transformation Works When ERP, Digitalisation 
and Sustainability Work Together

We believe these three areas cannot be separated. True transformation comes when ERP systems, digitalisation initiatives
and sustainability reporting are integrated from the start — not bolted on afterwards.

What Quality Consulting Looks Like In Practice

Unlike many consultancies, we publish the results we stand by and use them as benchmarks for every new project.

  • 30% shorter project durations

  • ±5% budget deviation (not +47% market average)

  • 100% CSRD compliance built into ERP

  • 89% user adoption after 3 months (market average 54%)

Decision Framework: How to Recognise Real Consulting Quality

Choosing a consultant can be difficult — so we encourage clients to test for quality by asking the right questions before making a decision.

 

1.Questions to ask your consultant
  • Can you show your tool live (not just PowerPoint)?

  • Who is accountable for our project results?

  • How do you measure success — and what if you miss?

  • What financial ties do you have with software vendors?

  • What’s your approach to our specific problem?

Not all consultants work independently. Watch for warning signs like:

  • Recommendations tied to software vendor incentives

  • Overpromising with no measurable KPIs

  • Generic templates instead of customised analysis

  • Lack of transparency on costs or deliverables

  • Focus on short-term wins over sustainable results

We define success through measurable outcomes, not presentations.

Every project begins with agreed KPIs, such as process cycle time, data accuracy or adoption rates.

We benchmark progress monthly and close each engagement only after results are verified.
Our goal: consistent, data-backed improvement across operations, finance, and reporting.

We approach every challenge from first principles — not assumptions. By analysing your specific business model, processes, and data, we uncover root causes and design solutions that fit you, not the market average. This principle-driven approach ensures clarity, simplicity and long-term scalability.

True quality shows in transparency and accountability.

Look for consultants who explain why they recommend something, show measurable results, and welcome scrutiny.

At Dreher Consulting, we believe quality consulting means one thing: measurable improvement, not marketing language.

Why Our First-Principles Method Works

By asking what business results you want to achieve, instead of which system you want to buy, we ensure ERP supports your competitive advantage rather than constrains it.

Unlike others, we integrate ERP + Digitalisation + Sustainability into one framework for long-term results.
