HOW an ERP Speeds Up Your Business
Sometimes business with limited resources avoid the hassle of setting up a new system, based on an ERP, and even though they know what they are missing, they just don't want to risk.
Let me rephrase myself: "avoid the hassle" > first of all this is a true misconception since anyone that really wants to have a business, considers an ERP setup as a part of their system setup and not something luxurious.
To make a long story short, take a look at how an ERP can speed up your business. Say you sell products or services. When you get a new request, you have to provide your customer info and product info to sales, then you have to get this info for shipping and delivery. At the same time, your inventory must track the reduction of stock, and your purchase department should be able to track this amount in case stock gets low. What about accounting? All transactions need to be tracked by your finance department, to avoid end of the month mix-ups...
These are just a few of the processes all easily handled in an efficient ERP system.
- All your departments work in coordination and seamlessly together.
- Each business process is automated, without human errors, making easy reporting and summing up.
- Effective communication on strong foundation between members in the organization.
- Speedy processes, saving up employee and customer time and energy.
- Continuous improvement of your processes and implementation of them in your system.
- Flexible, scalable
Also note that when we say "process", we mean a full cycle of your operations. So by making just one order in your ERP system, all departments are simultaneously working, from sales, to purchase, to warehouse, and the heart of your system: the accounting section. After a month or two you'll notice work that took weeks to accomplish now takes days. The closing the books at the end of the month by your accounting (a nightmare for accountants) will take minutes.
And this is not a dream, it is reality. Get an ERP for your business if you already don't have one.
