What is ERP?

If you run a business with various essential departments like accounting, customer resource management, human resource management and the multiple departments most businesses need. As with most businesses which are interconnected, employees in customer relationship management have recorded complaints of customers regarding the absence of a POS (e-payment) option when they make purchases but they would need to inform the manager who would then need to process the cost of purchasing POS which is largely on premise by the way, which means there’s no option for people purchasing online. You would need to go through an entire process of sharing information on file, walking from department to department and waiting to hand a file to someone.

Now consider how much time, resources and energy you’d save if there was some kind of technology in your organization which can help you get all this work done from your desk including an online payment purchase option with all your data in one place? That’s what ERP means and does. Enterprise Resource Planning as the name suggests, is a suite of applications used to plan, coordinate and streamline your business and department functions. Whether it is inventory management, time sheets, e-commerce or project management, an ERP system integrates your business data on the cloud and provides businesses easy access to the data from anywhere.
