You may have already researched the acronym ERP and chances are you were bombarded with information and possibly left confused by the various definitions available online. In order to recognise the vast capability of an ERP system and the countless benefits they bring to businesses around the world it’s important that we understand what the term ERP actually means. ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning, and ERP Systems can most easily be understood as software systems that provide an organisation with a system of integrated applications to manage all the functional areas of the business, including automation of as many routine functions as possible in order to improve accuracy, efficiency and profitability in the business. SAP Business One is specifically built to meet the needs of the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) community and is among the world’s leading ERP systems.
How can an ERP System like SAP Business One improve my business?
SAP Business One has been adopted and implemented by over 50,000 business worldwide. The SAP Business One system provides a single solution for managing your entire business. It automates your critical business processes to improve operational efficiency and integrates all business information to drive sound decisions. With clear visibility throughout the entire company you can gain greater control over all business areas. ERP Systems like SAP Business One help support and integrate business processes such as procurement, sales and distribution, finance, accounting, human resource, manufacturing, production planning, inventory management, logistics & warehouse management.
All of this is important as all businesses have immense financial and operational objectives. We know it’s easy to lose focus when a flood of day-to-day operational details, impromptu demands for data, and nonstop competitive moves demand your full attention. It’s also easy to lose sight of the “big picture” when key pieces of information live in different systems, applications, or physical locations impeding response times while creating customer dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, disjointed sales, accounting, and operational processes can result in holdups and reduce productivity. Whether you’re an independent small business or a subsidiary of a larger company, you need a clear view of all aspects of your business to stay competitive. Businesses must streamline processes and find better ways to access information that will result in the best business decisions.
