Not sure if your organization would benefit from using ERP software? Or are you already working with an ERP system and wondering about its benefits? Here are eight benefits you should expect:
1. Increasing productivity: ERP software helps you be more productive. Outdated systems can slow you down and hinder you in many ways. Switching to a new ERP system based on modern technology can provide a big productivity boost.
2. Integrated information: Even if you are already working with an ERP system, chances are that the information in your organization is fragmented. It may be stored in supporting systems, Excel files, on paper or in the heads of your people. A new ERP system can help you centralize and organize all the information.
3. Real-time information: Having access to real-time information is becoming increasingly important, and new technologies are making that easier. Real-time information gives you the ability to act quickly where needed. Trends and developments can be spotted early, allowing you to act proactively.
4. Improved communication: New technologies allow you to communicate better, both with colleagues and with the outside world. And improved communication brings many benefits. It can speed up processes, save time, cut costs, increase productivity and improve customer satisfaction.
"Users become more productive when they have anytime, anywhere access to the system on a mobile device."
5. Improved stock: ERP can help you reduce inventory costs and get more control of your inventory by improving planning and control.
6. Improved access: Users become more productive when they can access the system anytime, anywhere on a mobile device. For example, the service department, salespeople or rental and transportation departments.
7. Enhanced security: Data must be accurate and up-to-date, but also secure. New systems meet the latest data security standards. A new ERP system can help you minimize the risks of data loss and unauthorized access.
8. Your work becomes more fun: Although a new ERP system means a new way of working and it takes time for people to get used to it, it can also make their work much more enjoyable. A user-friendly, intuitive, fast and modern software solution is pleasant and fun to work with.
