All relevant data across the organization can be shared and accessed by all the departments of a business. This eliminates the need to export and import data, which can result in less errors, increased productivity and reduced expenses on human resource via the ERP software.
Real-time data provided by the ERP system can be beneficial for marketing, management, accounting, and enables businesses
to make essential decisions on time. An ERP can enable teams to detect any potential issues that may shake productivity levels.
An overall picture of operations allows business leaders to make effective decisions and respond quickly with ERP tools.
With increased clarity by streamlined business processes, business staff can shift their focus on managing increased volume of business. This aids in transforming various facets of business and overcoming the challenges involved in business growth.
As the business expands and transactions increase, it may become more time-consuming and difficult to process a larger volume of data. Business processes become much more tedious.
This is especially true if this information is stored in separate systems and databases. This means that data may need to be imported/exported from program to program in the workflow, allowing room for errors.
ERP can automate these manual processes, allocating more company time to sales and business development instead of administrative tasks.
It may be time for ERP implementation:
Each business has different competitive profiles, customer mixes and business standards that make for a massive range of solutions.
A good ERP option will offer a suite of business management tools such as CRM, web hosting, e-commerce platform, a tasking system, a shipping manager, email marketing, etc. However, too many unnecessary bells and whistles may cut back revenue.
As a business you want to invest in the most cost-effective solution that meets your needs, fits your industry and is manageable.
There are various factors to consider when choosing which ERP is best for you and your company.
Consider the learning curve involved. Is it user-friendly? What would be the amount of training involved? Modern ERP solutions such as Odoo come with responsive user interfaces and can easily integrate with most business tools.
Does the software accommodate changing business models? Does the software utilization, platform and user count adapt with business growth? The system should be scalable to your business goals.
Traditionally, on-premise systems required expensive licensing costs and large initial investments. Now with the emergence of cloud ERP solutions, an affordable ‘pay-per-transaction’ pricing model is now available to smaller businesses and start-ups. This minimizes the risk of you purchasing an inadequate solution that is too powerful for your needs.
For some companies it may be necessary to have the solution be in-house and installed on an internal server, while others may prefer a web-based solution that is more mobile and can be accessed through tablet and mobile devices. Determine which option best suits your business objectives.
Be aware of the support guarantee regarding mandatory upgrades. Unless you are purchasing additional components for your software, make sure enhancement fees are locked in and don’t increase with developments and future releases. Also, consider the ease of upgrading; a cloud platform may provide faster and automatic updates while an on-premise update may involve more work.
Ensure that the security of your data is as much of a priority to the vendor as it to you. Be aware of how to manage and determine different access and authorization roles in the system to prevent data violations. Make sure the passwords are strong and securely encrypted. Also, ask the vendor what security measures are employed for integrating third-party products.
Take into account how much support is offered by the vendor and find out if there are any additional fees involved for troubleshooting your system. The vendor should also have plenty of personnel to assist with setting up and maintenance of your ERP software.
Also, software buyouts and partnerships are now more commonplace. Protect yourself against a situation in which the supplier management changes, while making sure they guarantee support for a certain extent of time on currently implemented products.
The goal here is to maximize your ROI. The costs involved in purchasing software can be confusing. Sales reps are known to downplay the costs and risks involved. Be clear on what the costs for the software, implementation, maintenance, customization, training, support, hardware and updates will entail. Determine the pre and post implementation expenses and project these costs for the next 5-10 years.
Once you understand what you are after and what your business processes are, you can ask more targeted questions about the ERP software you want.
Many young and small companies shy away from investing in a full-fledged ERP solution, due to the risks involving finances and inefficiency. Ultimately, you need to understand how your business operates to fully understand what you want to get out of your ERP program.
To successfully weigh the risks versus the rewards of ERP software solutions, the key is to identify your business priorities and corresponding resources \ for training and project management strategy.
Even the best ERP software can fail if the implementation isn’t executed correctly. With so many options available, seeking a consultant specializing in ERP solutions and implementation may be in your best interest and ensure you select the right system and manage the change effectively.
