Is it time to consider and ERP Solution?
Your company is growing, and that’s a good thing, but can your software grow with it? Often businesses start with basic accounting software. It is relatively inexpensive and able to meet your needs. As time goes on, your business changes and you want to make sure nothing, including your software, holds back your success.
Here are three things to consider when thinking of upgrading to an ERP:
Does your system run slow, requires manual processing or data entry?
If your current software is causing you to run multiple systems to manage databases or requires your employees to manually enter information – it is holding you back. One of the first things that happens when a company starts to outgrow their accounting software is that they discover limitations and implement short-term solutions to “fix” the problem. The problem is that these quick fix solutions usually result in several systems that rarely communicate with each other, leaving users to enter data multiple times or silos of information. The employee’s wasted time and chance of error are both concerning. By switching to an ERP, the time you save can greatly increase your productivity as well as cut down on potential costly errors.
Do you find it difficult to track data and get the results you need?
Basic accounting software does not allow you to integrate all aspects of your business. Often, different systems are required to pull data from a variety of sources and then drop it into another system to analyze it. ERP is all about efficiency because all of the data can be integrated into a single solution. An ERP Solution allows business to achieve true business process automation.
Does your system allow for real-time data?
If not, you have a potentially huge problem. You are unable to figure out what materials or products you need, how much you need and when you need it. Poor or inadequate inventory visibility results in either too much or too little inventory costing you profits. Access to real-time data allows for faster decision making, greater operational efficiencies and improved communication and collaboration.
No one wants your business to succeed more than you. An ERP may be a large investment for your company, but one that will certainly pay off. Don’t let anything hold you back!
