ERP for The SMB: How Enterprise Resource Planning Helps You Do More With Less and Keep Up With Larger Competitors

As a SMB you’re always running around like you’re hair is on fire, there is always something to be done, you never have enough people, and you never, NEVER have enough hours in the day, right? You need to do things as efficiently and inexpensively as possible. ERP is great for that!

Customers love to work with small businesses because an SMB breeds close customer-to-company relationships and top notch customer service, but you need to keep up with your larger competitors too…with fewer people to do it with. ERP is great for this too!

The benefits of ERP for a SMB are endless. The importance of this tool was outlined in a recent report from the Aberdeen Group, “ERP in SME: Fueling Growth & Profits.” The report outlines how ERP for SMB’s can provide the right foundation for a business. Organize and streamline operations, and reduce costs.

For any growing SMB the goal is always to contain your costs while growing your revenues and profits, right? The Aberdeen study reported the following findings to support this growth strategy:

•    22% reduction in operating costs
•    20% reduction in administrative costs
•    17% inventory reductions
•    19% improvements in complete and on-time delivery
•    17% improvements in schedule compliance

How does ERP provide the above results?

Having integrated data is a huge saver of both time and cost. ERP connects your important data into one place, gets rid of annoying and redundant data entry and re-entry, lowers help desk and marketing costs, makes reporting easy, cuts down on day-to-day management activities, provides consistency, gives you visibility across the organization, and boosts the ability to communicate and collaborate between departments and customers- all in one place!

So get started today- get back those critical hours so you can stop with the redundant tasks and run your SMB like a large enterprise while holding onto that small business charm your customers love so much.
