What's Inside the Checklist

LMS, HRIS, and ERP platforms overlap — and buying the wrong one is expensive to fix. This checklist walks you through 20 targeted questions that surface what you actually need, and maps those needs to the right platform category.

01

People Needs (5 Questions)

Questions about your people management requirements — recruitment, onboarding, payroll, performance, and employee records. High scores in this section point toward HRIS.

Do you need to manage employee records centrally?
Do you need automated payroll processing?
Is recruitment and applicant tracking a priority?
Do you need performance review workflows?
Is leave and absence management needed?
02

Learning Needs (5 Questions)

Questions about your training and development requirements — course delivery, compliance tracking, skills management, and learning analytics. High scores point toward LMS.

Do you need to deliver and track online courses?
Is compliance training and certification tracking needed?
Do you need to manage a content library?
Is learner progress and analytics reporting needed?
Do you need to sell or certify external learners?
03

Process & Operations Needs (5 Questions)

Questions about your core business process requirements — finance, procurement, inventory, project management, and operational workflows. High scores point toward ERP.

Do you need to manage financial accounts and reporting?
Is procurement and purchase order management needed?
Do you need inventory or supply chain management?
Is project and resource management a requirement?
Do you need multi-entity or multi-currency support?
04

Integration Needs (5 Questions)

Questions about how your chosen platform needs to connect to existing systems. Integration requirements often determine which platform is the right anchor system.

Does it need to connect to your existing payroll system?
Does it need to push data to or from your CRM?
Is SSO (Single Sign-On) with your identity provider needed?
Does it need to integrate with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
Do you need a public API for custom integrations?
