The ERP of Things
The main reason why manufacturers pursue an enterprise resource planning solution is to optimize business operation performance. ERP systems transform businesses. Majority of businesses are finding the best return on investment in ERPs are ones that have recently grown in size and have multiple systems in place, such as, finance, accounting, project management, service delivery and logistics. This article explains why manufacturers can rely on Genteq’s ERP solutions that are tailored to business’ specific requirements.
Synergise the solution
A unified and carefully architected ERP solution WILL deliver production and manufacturing success. Compared to having multiple systems which lack cohesiveness, trying to work together with other systems resulting in what is ultimately an unsystematic approach. An all in one ERP solution combines supply chain management, scheduling and planning, production management, accounting, human resource management, marketing functions and many other facets into one fused system. Moreover, automated workflows which are efficiently optimized across the supply chain, production management, etc are of extremely high value.
The outcome of combining all the business operations into one system enables complete visibility of all aspects of a business. The synergy gives simplicity to what would be lengthy processes, such as reporting on stock levels in real time. The entire ERP system is designed with compliance and international business management systems in mind. The adaptability extends to e-commerce platforms allowing manufacturers to consolidate the back-end to the front-end and allowing for increased efficiency powered by more informed decision making.
Data Delivery
The ultimate pandoras box in business strategy and growth is data.
