Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an information system that manages, through integration, all aspects of a business including production, planning, purchasing, manufacturing, sales, distribution, accounting, human resources and customer service.
Small business use ERP software mainly to improve communication across departments and optimise business processes by providing users with easy visibility of all operations. Another important reason to use ERP software is the integration of the business’ financial information.
Small businesses also like the software for its ability to integrate customer order information. This allows departments to, at a glance, get an overview of the status of pending orders and take necessary steps to ensure timely delivery to customers. Standardization of a business’ manufacturing processes can significantly reduce time delays. Businesses also use ERP software to reduce inventory and overhead costs.
ERP software is also useful for businesses that wish to standardise their human resources data. Integration of data across the enterprise ensures that you have greater visibility in all areas of your business, from daily operations to a strategic decision level. Insight into production, inventory and financial data makes it easy to identify opportunities for cost savings and efficiency improvements.
