What is ERP
Defining ERP
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is comprehensive business technology that enables organizations to use one system to manage company processes. ERP software is accounting and operations oriented and features one database as a master source of enterprise information. An ERP system is used to identify and plan the time and resource needs of an enterprise.
Enterprise Resource Planning software has evolved from its background in manufacturing to its modern role as the main source of truth for many businesses. Organizations that implement this software range from small businesses to large corporations, and across a variety of industries including manufacturing, distribution, professional services, architecture, engineering and construction, and more.
ERP software has become the leading software of choice for growing businesses that want to maintain and improve their competitive edge.
Why Use ERP?
ERP software’s main purpose is to increase efficiency, streamline processes and improve communication and collaboration between departments of an organization. While ERP is a business tool that can be pricey, the benefits outweigh the costs in order to grow the business and improve revenue. Some of the top benefits of ERP are:
- Data visibility
- Improved efficiency
- Better reporting and planning
- Automation of manual processes
