We talk a lot about the benefits and use of ERP systems. The industry relevance, whether default or tailored and which functions become relevant in which form and when. For many companies - especially the small and young ones - the question often arises: What exactly does this Enterprise Resource Planning bring us? 10 reasons why an ERP system is relevant for all companies ... or will become so.
1. one ERP system for all
An ERP system (in the best case) covers all the necessary processes of a company in one software. Investing in an ERP solution is therefore expensive at first, but in the long run it saves expenses for software and implementations. In addition, all relevant company data can be accessed across the board and in a uniform manner. This avoids errors (no redundant data), saves time (automated data maintenance) and makes evaluations across different company divisions possible.

... and a good ERP system makes him feel that way too. The right data can always be accessed in the system with just a few clicks. This means that everyone, from the highest salesperson to the lowest supporter, can help every customer.
3. position (r)plan with an ERP system
The right ERP solution helps a company to have a precise knowledge of the Stock. Thanks to the analysis options in the system, stock can be reduced to an optimum and new orders can be placed in good time. This enables the company to achieve faster delivery times without making any losses itself.
4. we understand each other
Especially when you no longer have to argue about To Do's or chase responsibilities. In an ERP system, all data and documents are stored centrally. In addition, there is an integrated message function with resubmission of tasks. This means that it is always possible to see who is currently working on what and which tasks have already been completed. This facilitates communication within the company as well as externally (suppliers, customers, etc.) and thus significantly improves cooperation.
5. runs like clockwork
The processes represented in an ERP system are based on many years of corporate experience. This optimises the processes and thus creates the basis for more efficiency in working.
6. where you need an ERP system

This makes reliable accounting possible, as the actual effort remains logged and can be viewed. This means that difficult project progress can be recognised and influenced in good time without unnecessary extra work or disproportionate costs.
8. all in view pt. 2
Also for Producing For companies, an ERP system offers significant advantages. Since production can be viewed in real time, the software offers the company the possibility to make completely new decisions based on the data. As in the case of warehousing, the quantity and time period can be adjusted based on the evaluations. This saves costs and time in production.
10. always with you
the financial accounting - Fibu for short. An ERP system makes it possible to automate a large part of this. Especially in the case of bookings, this means a great time saving. Due to the uniform presentation of the data, the individual metrics much more meaningful and the company's management can make well-founded statements and decisions on the basis of these.
