ERP Software keeps your business moving!
Simply put, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software handles a company’s day-to-day business operations. ERP solutions come in all shapes and sizes and are available as cloud-based or on-premise systems. Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central are two examples of some of the most popular ERP platforms.
ERP software provides accurate, up-to-the-minute information from one location, providing a centralized database so all departments and locations can have immediate access.
Systems and processes managed by ERP software includes:
Inventory and Operations
Reporting and Dashboards
Accounting
Workflow Automation
ERP Software Helps with Growing Pains
Feeling growing pains inside your company? Sharing information between departments or geographic locations becomes challenging as companies grow. Consolidated reporting becomes complicated, and a lack of consistency slows operations between departments.
ERP software was created to help you streamline processes, improve business insights, and bring together the various functions within your organization.
Here are essential ERP functions that can help run your business.
Inventory and Operations: Tracks and manages orders, stock levels, and vendors.
Workflow Automation: Automates routine tasks, centralizes document management, escalates activities based on other events, and creates notifications.
Accounting: Manages invoicing, general ledger, accounts receivable, revenue recognition, accounts payable, and fixed assets; consolidates multi-entities and multi-currencies.
Reporting and Dashboards: Enables the creation of user-specific dashboards and reports to access real-time insights about business performance from anywhere.
What Are the Benefits of ERP Software?
The most profound benefit of ERP software is that it allows your business units to operate more cohesively and drives your productivity. It empowers your employees to address any concerns and make proactive improvements heading off any potential issues.
ERP software can empower your company by:
Enhancing the customer service experience
Controlling inventory costs
Staying compliant with regulatory and financial requirements
Decreasing time required to fulfill orders
Reducing the number of errors created when manually entering data into different systems
Making better decisions using real-time financial data and operational insights
How are ERP Programs Sold?
ERP programs are available as suite solutions. A software suite is a collection of applications and computer programs that have similar user interfaces and integrate with each other. They are also often owned by the same brand.
ERP software also links to your company’s other systems, like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, eCommerce tools, point of sale applications, and tax filing modules. This allows you to custom-build a total solution.
Is ERP Software a Good Fit for My Business?
The real question is will it improve productivity and profitability? And do you want a unified way to manage and evaluate your administration and operations? If the answers are “yes” to both of those questions.... it’s time to buy some ERP software!
