4 reasons small businesses are thankful for ERP software
Business management software can serve different purposes for different enterprises. Larger businesses benefit from enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems because they centralize data so multiple departments can coordinate their efforts more efficiently. However, a good ERP system can also be essential to the success of small to medium sized businesses (SMBs). ERP adoption among SMBs is increasing, according to Forrest Burnson of Software Advice. Here are some of the reasons these SMBs are thankful for their ERP software.
Scalability
Adapting to growth is essential to any small business. Integrating data saves time and money, and makes it easier to ramp up efforts as an SMB takes on more clients. A cloud-based ERP allows growing companies to be more agile, because their data is no longer tied down to in-house servers.
Automation
On a small team, everyone has to wear many hats. Fulfilling orders accurately and on time can mean the difference between sinking or swimming. An inventory management system and an accounting management system, both provided by ERP software, allow an SMB to automate everyday tasks so employees can focus on serving clients.
An ecosystem of specialized apps
What does your business need to run more efficiently? A great ERP system like Microsoft Dynamics NAV has specialized mobile applications for Android, Apple or Windows devices. An SMB that uses mobile apps can provide personalized service to clients and access important data on the go. Mobile apps give SMB team members the flexibility they need to serve a growing client base.
