Today, many companies are looking for an ERP system for their company, but what exactly is an ERP and how can it benefit a company?
The term ERP refers to Enterprise Resource Planning, which means "enterprise resource planning system." These programs take care of different internal operations of a company, from production to distribution or even human resources.
Automation of company processes.
Availability of company information on the same platform.
Integration of the different databases of a company in a single program.
Time and cost savings.
Greater control and traceability.
Adaptation to real needs.
Data security.
In addition, ERP offers integration with BI or Business Intelligence solutions, allowing you to report on the status of your company directly with the data from the ERP system.
This offers a level of detailed and up-to-date knowledge of the state of the company that is essential when analyzing and improving internal processes such as marketing and sales, organization or other key aspects of a company.
The most common drawback is usually the cost of the ERP software. This is usually due to the level of customization that an ERP system needs to meet the needs of the company: the higher the level of customization, the higher the price.
An ERP system is suitable for all types of companies, both multinationals and SMEs. In addition, thanks to the different customizable modules, any company, regardless of the different processes it has or the sector to which it belongs, can customize its own ERP.
A virtual store is a nice sales channel, but without the underlying information, nothing would be sold. An indication of inventory, prices, and product specifications are essential for the operation of the web environment.
Entering this information manually (in real time) in the online store is not feasible for most companies. Therefore, organizations want to connect their virtual store with the ERP system.
