Many companies have become active in the course of the Globalisation with new offices on various continents. The proven internal processes of the individual companies are taken over. This includes the ERP systems. Especially when the various branches communicate with each other via such a system and the employees are already familiar with it, the ERP system should be adopted. However, if the new office is based in China, for example, the system must fulfil a few other criteria.
The solution should definitely be able to be operated in Chinese and, under certain conditions, also in a non-Chinese language. This enables foreign companies to have their ERP system certified by the Chinese Ministry of Finance. This is because communication with the financial and customs authorities must be conducted in Mandarin.
In addition to the various formalities required by the Chinese authorities, when choosing the right "China ERP", you should also consider the working methods and culture of the Chinese. New business locations should attach great importance to familiarising Chinese employees with the new system. A certain degree of familiarity with the company should be established beforehand. With the Introduction of the ERP you should also offer sufficient training. This ensures that everyone is familiar with the system before using it.
