An ERP system is not just for large companies. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is so scalable, flexible and user-friendly that it is also perfect for use by small and medium-sized companies. Ideal for equipment dealers with extensive and complex business processes.
Centralizing corporate data
ERP software is all about centralizing business data entered, accessed and extracted from different departments. For equipment management organizations, those departments include finance, purchasing, sales, rental, service, field service and parts. And on that front, the size of the company doesn't matter: even small equipment management organizations have these different processes. So whether you have fewer than 10 or more than 100 people: ERP software lets you benefit from centralized business information entered in a uniform manner.
Working faster and more efficiently
ERP software makes you more productive. Entering information once, fewer errors and using the same information with the entire company. Even smaller organizations can reap these benefits. By automating properly, you increase employee productivity, you can serve customers faster and better, and you can grow as an organization.
"More and more ERP systems are accessible to small businesses. Low start-up costs, pay per month and benefit from the possibilities immediately."
Uniform operating procedure
An important condition for growth is professionalism. In the area of automation, that means having a uniform way of recording, accessing and using company information. When you look at the same, real-time information from sales, rental, service and other departments, you can improve service quality and achieve growth.
ERP system that grows with you
Many smaller organizations think ERP is too expensive and difficult for them. A large upfront investment, a helluva project and uncertain how much benefit it will bring. But that is mostly a thing of the past. More and more ERP systems are accessible to small businesses. Low start-up costs, pay per month and immediately benefit from the possibilities. And as you grow you add users, expand capabilities, add new modules or switch to another version.
But...it does mean going into structured work
ERP offers many benefits, even for small organizations. But keep in mind that ERP software forces all employees to work in a structured way. No more post-its, paper notes, bulletin boards, or your own lists and systems. Everyone has to adapt to the new way of working, which is easier for some than others.
