The ERP systems allow you to establish a minimum of control, and to restrict the accounts of your teams, by giving them only access to the operations which are relevant for their position. And if you host your ERP on a private cloud, you will have high safety guarantees, and you can be sure that all of your data are protected by your cloud supplier.

2. INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

Expensive programs are not always the good solution. Moreover, they cost a lot of money.

If your employees repeat the same task again and again, it is a real waste of time. With a ERP system, you can delete these repetitive tasks and you or your employees will not have to double, to triple or even to quadruple data’s entrances anymore.
ERP reduces the need of enter data manually and rationalizes the processes of management.

Your accounting department can certainly be the first one to notice the need for an ERP for more productivity during financial information management. Even more if your accounting software is complex.

Furthermore, the accounting department can be an important source of overheads, but it should not. A good ERP can automatically record the current transactions as soon as they occur, as an example:

  • Invoice Management,
    · Inventory’s movements
    · Tax calculation
    · Production costs
    · The spending(expenses) of Credit Cards expenses, …

4. REDUCE THE COSTS

It allows you to have a complete image of your company’s performance. For example, without the exact sales data, the inventory management can suffer from a lack of information and you have to make sure that the good quantity of products is at the right place at the right time.

6. FACILITATE ACCESS OF DATA

If you need to know the average margin that you obtain on your sales, how long does it take you? If you have to update your spreadsheets and documents manually, it could take a long time you to know.

Today, the pace of productivity is faster than ever, thus it involves that your employees need an immediate access to the key data. With an ERP solution, leaders and other members of staff have access quickly to the precise information which they need.

The sellers should be capable of visualizing customers transactions history in the real time real and of answering their questions, without consulting another department, to improve their satisfaction and increase sale opportunities. Even better, customers should be capable of going simply on-line on their account and of posting the information.
