Most of the writing relating to ERPs and "Enterprise" software filled with jargon and keywords and many times, pure garbage. The idea of this blog is also to use simple language, a normal person can understand.
Lets keep the large businesses out of this. New subsidiaries of large businesses are welcome but the real large ones with zillions of transactions are out of this discussion. Now when we look at small and medium sized businesses their challenges are different.
What they are look for is a way to consolidate all their business data that lies in excel sheets and paper sheets everywhere. So whats the big deal?? ... The deal is this:
- When the customer calls about a current or old order, you don't run around wasting your time finding the right excel sheet or right paper or calling ten people. So it saves time
- You don't wake up all of a sudden in the middle of the night thinking about a payment you had to collect. Once all your invoices are in one place, the system helps you keep track of your payments
- You don't start screaming when you find that your warehouse is out of stock. You know before hand what is the position.
- When you sit to make your next investment, you have all the data you need. You know what are the fastest growing product categories, you know your best performing sale territories.
