Common questions about working with MRU Consulting.
With a free 30-minute scoping call. We talk through your current Vista setup, what's frustrating you, and what you're trying to achieve. If we can help, we'll scope the work and quote it hourly or fixed-price. If we can't, we'll say so and point you in the right direction. No obligation either way.
Quick-win reports and SQL work often ship in 2–5 days. Custom portals, integrations, and larger automation projects typically run 4–12 weeks. We scope the work upfront so you know what to expect before you commit.
Hourly or fixed-price — your choice. Small scoped work (a report, a notifier, a SQL tweak) is usually fixed-price so you know the cost upfront. Larger or open-ended work is typically hourly with weekly caps. Every engagement is senior-led: no juniors, no handoffs. No surprises.
Yes. We work remotely with clients across Australia, New Zealand, North America, and the UK. Vista is Vista regardless of geography, and we accommodate time zone differences with flexible scheduling.
Change resistance is normal — especially with ERP. We handle it by involving key users early, starting with quick wins that make their lives obviously easier, and providing training on YOUR specific configuration (not generic Vista). When the AP team sees their invoice processing time drop from 45 minutes to 2, resistance tends to disappear.
Most consultancies send a senior partner to win the deal and hand the work to graduates. You pay $250/hr for someone learning on your dime. At MRU, the same person who scopes the work builds the solution — with 25 years of hands-on experience. We also don't sell ongoing dependency; every engagement includes knowledge transfer so your team can maintain what we build.
Depends on what you automate. Our 10+ year client Shadforth Civil Engineering (QLD) cut timesheet processing by 80% and achieved 1000% speedup on AP invoice matching through custom automation on Vista. Your outcomes will depend on your volume, workflows, and what we build. We scope honestly and won't propose work that doesn't have a clear business case.
We'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction. We've built our reputation on candid advice, not selling unnecessary work. If your Vista system is already well-optimised, or if your problems are better solved by a different type of specialist, we'll say so.
