Partnerships Make the Difference

What Clients First Delivers - Clients First is more than a name. It’s the guiding principle of what they do. They put the needs of their clients ahead of anything else. Your business systems will be in the hands of a responsive partner that will only promise what they can deliver and always bring completion and success to a project. Clients First takes an agile, controlled approach to manage the scope, expectations, and delivery of every technology project. They approach each project in the simplest, most straightforward way to ensure both success and stability with every solution.

How to Help with a Successful ERP Implementation - The best way to get started is by sharing your real business pains what you need to meet your business goals. Let Clients First get to know your culture and allow these ERP experts guide you through the process as a Partner, not just a salesperson. They are your trusted advisor so don't be shy to share business information. It's best to include them in discussions with other stakeholders in your company.

Eder Flag Is a Great Example of a Great Partnership

“The CFBS (Clients First Business Solutions) team has been outstanding from the beginning. We originally reached out to CFBS for a comparative quote, but they were so impressive we ended choosing them as our partner. Partner is the best word to describe their style. They jumped in, learned our business and helped us implement a solution that works for our business. We just completed our first month in Acumatica after using GP for nearly 20 years and I am pleased to say it’s going great.”

About Clients First 

Business software should increase productivity, improve profitability, and be easy for staff to use. Most of today’s ERP solutions are good at finance and have horizontal niches for distribution, manufacturing, maintenance, repair and overhaul for aviation and heavy equipment. This makes searching for a software solution more about what the implementation partner can do to help you get the most out of the system. That is why Clients First is not a software company, we are a business solutions and services company.
