What Is ERP and How it Helps Build a Better Business?
ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning refers to the automation and integration of a company’s core business to improve security, effectiveness and create simplified systems.
An ERP system automates and integrates core business processes such as taking customer orders, scheduling operations, and keeping inventory records and financial data. This can drive huge improvements in the effectiveness of any organisation by:
• assisting you in defining your business processes and ensuring they are complied with throughout the supply chain;
• protecting your critical business data through well-defined roles and security access
• enabling you to plan your work load based on existing orders and forecasts
• providing you with the tools to give a high level of service to your customers
• translating your data into decision making information
Benefits of ERP for your Business
