What is ERP Software?
You may heard the acronym ERP (Enterprise resource planning), but what is it? ERP refers to business software and systems used to collect, store and manage data needed to run and grow a business. They are used in all areas of business, including:
- Sales and Marketing Accounting
- Inventory Management
- Manufacturing and Distribution
- Service Delivery
- Project Management
Used heavily to manage customers and vendors, a shared database provides immediate insight for customer service representatives and other departments to access important information such as order status, shipping, receiving, and accounting information to provide excellent service. You can also utilize ERP’s to communicate directly with plant floor equipment with enterprise appliance transaction modules or (EATMs), which can employ a staging table, web services, and specific system program interfaces to fit your companies needs and requirements.
Often an ERP software system can be customized to accommodate simple and complext business processes if there are requirements that are not met out of the box. If you rely on a separate application and can't replace it, there are customized integration options that can be run on both work station or server-class computers. Another bonus is their scalability, as having software that can’t grow with you is a waste of money.
ERP systems get a bad reputation because there are many horror stories of companies having poor expectations about the time and money required for implementation. Careful planning and methodical budgeting can make those downsides less intimidating. Mantralogix is the company to help you be less intimidated.
