Our guide to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions can be complex to understand. However, they’re powerful platforms that can support your business in its growth plans and aspirations and utilising them can be key to your success. They act as the glue that binds together different elements of your organisation, and encourages the flow of data between all departments, helping reduce data duplication and increase reporting capabilities.

What exactly is an ERP?

The easiest way to define an Enterprise Resource Planning solution is to think about all the things a company needs to be able to run successfully. Think of it as the nervous system of a business. From finance, to HR, supply chain and procurement, there are so many different processes that a successful business needs to be able to run efficiently. With an ERP you can effectively manage all of these individual processes in one integrated system, ensuring consistency, productivity and efficiency. Gone are the days of having different systems for different tasks.

Why select an ERP?

An ERP differs from other business solutions and tools, because of how it integrates with all parts of your business. You no longer work in silos. With automation, integration and intelligence gained from utilising an ERP, you can more effectively run your essential day to day operations. Gaining a single source of the truth, with all departments and activities being run from one central solution, you have a clearer picture of your business in its entirety.

With an ERP you can run your logistics effectively, delivering the right products to the right clients at the right time. You can pay your suppliers at the right stage. You can have a single hub for all of your customer contacts. Your staff can monitor their holiday allowance. Every team can drill down into their data for deeper insights.

Here are just some advantages of opting for an ERP solution:

  • Enhanced reporting
  • Better decision making
  • Reduced risk of human-error
  • Improved inventory control
  • Maximized employee efficiency
  • Increased customer satisfaction
