What is an ERP system?

One ERP systems is an ERP system used to manage, integrate and interconnect various business processes within a company with each other. The easiest way to summarize an ERP system is something that keeps order and facilitates all the core business processes required to run a business. By bringing together all the data from a company in an ERP system, the system becomes your company's central nervous system and source of truth, which will not only simplify your business operationally, but also strategically.

Why is an ERP system important?

Economics requires an ERP system to be able to quickly close the books. Sales needs ERP to handle all customer orders. Logistics relies on well-functioning ERP software to deliver the right products and services to customers on time. Accounts receivable needs ERP to pay suppliers accurately and on time. Management needs immediate visibility into the company's performance in order to make timely decisions. And banks and shareholders demand accurate financial data, so they count on reliable data and analysis made possible by the ERP system.

‍

An efficient ERP system is critical to the company's functions, and can be the difference between a well-functioning company and one that lags. The finance department needs to be able to manage accounting, accounting and accounts payable efficiently and correctly. The sales department needs to handle customer orders. Logistics needs to ensure punctual deliveries. Management needs real-time insights and making the right decisions at the right time. Banks and shareholders need good transparency and reliable financial statements.

‍

The hub of all this is spelled ERP system. It is what binds all the different activities together and makes them “talk” to each other, which not only ensures the smooth and efficient operation of the company, but also makes the complex easier.

Which companies need an ERP system?

It can be argued that any business can benefit from an ERP system. However, they are usually found among larger companies where the information is greater and the processes are more complex.

‍

We at Saldo would say that ERP systems and the size of the company are not really related to each other, but that the simple answer to the question is that all companies that want to streamline their processes and centralize their administration in a single system need an ERP system.

How does an ERP system work?

An ERP system is basically a software or platform that brings together and manages various business processes and resources within a company. The ERP system consists of integrated functions and modules, such as finance, human resources management, purchasing, inventory management and sales. These modules “communicate” with each other and share the same database, giving the company a full overview of the different parts of the business.

‍

Often companies can choose the module (s) they need and scale up or down as needed. In addition, ERP systems or parts of it can be customized based on the company's own requirements and wishes.

‍

Today, the most common solution is that the information is stored in the cloud, which means that the ERP system is always accessible as long as the user has an internet connection. However, companies that for various reasons do not want or cannot use the cloud-based model can of course opt for an on-premises solution.
