Top 5 benefits to expect from your ERP system
Thursday March 15, 2018

Businesses have many driving factors in deciding whether to implement a new ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, often sharing the same wish lists and requirements with other organisations.

Streamlining business processes, increasing revenue and driving forward growth against market competitors are key targets to attain.

So, what are the benefits of implementing an ERP system? In this post we’re going to look at the rewards of bringing an Enterprise Resource Planning solution to your business.

Integration

One of the top requirements for many organisations implementing a new ERP system is bringing together multiple parts of the business into a unified solution. Sales, accounting, production, customer service are tied together to allow free-flowing communication and information, resulting in streamlined and efficient processes.

Revenue

Secondly, if not a defining requirement for many, is increasing the company revenue. ERP systems are best-in-class when it comes to helping you minimise costs within your organisation. They are also staggeringly intelligent when it comes to helping you identify and capitalise on opportunities you may have not previously been aware of. CRM modules can help your sales team keep track of all your customer data, including sales history and eligibility for cross-selling.

Employee Engagement

A key benefit of implementing an ERP solution not widely expressed is the increase in employee engagement and morale. It's a difficult metric to measure, but many report seeing a boost in morale after an ERP system implementation. Manual processes become automated, freeing up time for other tasks, information is delivered quicker and tasks become easier to execute.

Efficiency

Many businesses are still comprised of several legacy systems and processes that have left the current structuring inefficient and incredibly expensive.  An ERP solution replaces and eradicates these problems. That's not to say that bringing in an ERP solution will fix all niggles in your organisation but it's important to remember that it can help bridge the gap between restructured processes and your desired business outcomes.

Minimising Waste

Companies that hold a significant amount of product often find themselves with problems such as not having the capacity for their stock levels, or an excess due to the inability to accurately predict product demand. An ERP system can analyse demand from your customer base and accurately predict future consumption, so you will know exactly how much to allocate to your warehouse and at what time, inadvertently minimising waste and reducing associated warehousing costs.
