In order to remain competitive in their market, small to midsize enterprises (SME) must have real-time access to a variety of information: customer data, sales data, delivery dates, resource utilization, purchase orders, etc. If you have different systems in place to manage your business, or if you have a legacy system with deficiencies, finding information quickly becomes difficult. This results in unnecessary bottlenecks and reduced profitability.
Integral control of business processes has a positive effect on delivery, reliability, project margins, utilization, and overhead. By having all systems and processes in one application, such as an integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, SMEs greatly reduce the amount of time spent on extracting and manipulating data to produce the results needed.
Integrated ERP systems give complete data visibility across all functional business areas, so you can:
- Build stronger relationships with customers as you track all interactions in a single system.
- Make informed decisions based on comprehensive, real time data.
- Respond quickly to customer needs.
- Eliminate redundant data entry and errors.
- Spend more time growing your business.
