How ERP Software Enhance your Business Productivity & Profits?
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
Every organization is divided into several departments based on functions. Administration, finance, marketing, sales, customer service, public relations, inventory, logistics, production, and HR, ERP software is not a simple but massive software architecture that integrates all the departments of the organization and helps them communicate with each other.
ERP software improves visibility for companies by organizing and centralizing the data that is essential to the business into one area and all company information is available for employees and management to access when needed. If your data is decentralized, the decision-makers will have no idea of the whole picture at any point in time. It is a time-consuming process to fetch data by email, letters, or phone, in a competitive industry; it can impact the firm’s growth prospects as they can’t respond fast to changing market conditions and consumer demand.
Let’s See What Happens in a Decentralized Data System
If the sales department gets a large customer order, they check with the inventory department for the availability of the product. If it is not available, they approach the production department to produce more. The production team consults with inventory to know the stock of semi-finished goods and stores for raw materials. They may need to order a fresh batch of raw materials. If inventory did not consult with the Finance Department before placing the order, payments to vendors may be delayed. During this time, the consumer may have left and gone to the competitor. Organizations get a huge loss of business, market share, and brand value by this mistake.
ERP System is not only a software solution that makes the organization adapt. Its business processes to conform to its system. It is also customized according to the requirements of the company. ERP System is not only useful for large organizations, but it is also useful for small and medium businesses too.
