There are many benefits to ERP systems
One of the benefits of an ERP system is that it can gather all the company’s processes in one system. This saves time because employees do not have to work in several different programs. In fact, it can be said that an ERP system increases productivity and strengthens competitiveness – and ultimately helps to provide a better bottom line.
Other benefits:
ERP is the backbone of a business
One could argue that an ERP system is the backbone of a business. The ERP system can be scaled up as needed, so that it can grow with the company.
A sole proprietorship will primarily use the ERP system for invoicing and bookkeeping, while a manufacturing company will also use it for customer orders, inventory, and production. A project company will also use ERP for project planning, and to see if projects stays on budget.
Customer data remain the same – even as the company develops.
