Although ERP Software do have some drawbacks, you cannot ignore the plus points it provides. Here are some of them:
Back-office duties take your time and attention away from actually running your business. The purpose of ERP software is to help you quickly accomplish these responsibilities to increase your operation’s productivity and efficiency. With this technology, you can automate tedious tasks such as compiling reports, updating inventory information, and monitoring your sales while reducing the risk of human error. On top of that, all these information are recorded and compiled in your dashboard, so you can get a glance of your business’ performance with just a few clicks.
Delays and disruptions in your business operations can compromise your company’s reputation as well as result in losses in the long-run. Through an ERP system, you can merge processes across departments, making it easier to anticipate and identify problems as well as come up with ways to resolve them quickly.
Data integrity is an essential part of any business operation. To help you ensure the accuracy and consistency of all the information you store in your database, ERP systems are geared with business intelligence tools and machine learning capabilities. These allow you to use advanced filters and real-time analytics to sift data for inconsistencies, analyze information, and generate insights on performance, so you can make the necessary adjustments to your operations efficiently and effectively.
Accessible on-premise or via the cloud, these platforms often serve as an integrated information repository for many companies. It stores data coming from different devices and organizes them according to the requirements of the users. From inventory details and sales reports to employee information and customer files, all the documents that you need for your operations can be housed within this system and can be accessed whenever you wish. This saves you and your employees time whenever you need to pull files for specific purposes, especially when you are coordinating with different departments.
ERP software is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is a highly configurable system that supports multiple integrations and third-party applications. This way, you can easily tailor it to the unique needs of your company and even have it adapt to the changing requirements of your growing business.
ERP programs allow you to access information from anywhere and at any time you desire, but this doesn’t mean that you are compromising the security of your data. These software solutions are often equipped with firewalls, restriction controls, and ransomware prevention, so you can safeguard confidential data without limiting user access to other information. ERPs also have features that allow you to pinpoint unauthorized activity within your system and provides insights on how to proceed with these issues.
Regulatory compliance is an issue that businesses across many industries are extremely familiar with. Industry standards change from time to time, making it difficult to keep track of if you do not constantly monitor it. To help you stay up-to-date on various regulatory processes, most ERP software have compliance reporting features that monitor any changes in compliance protocols and notify users in real time.
From an Employee's point of view, everyone just likes to complete their work as fast as you can. So, in that process we tend to deviate from actual process-flow. An ERP has strong checkpoints and does not allow you to deviate which makes you angry. Its natural. As an ERP Consultant, i have seen a lot of end-users in the same state.
From an Employer (Management) point of view, he starts a company to make profit. Bad-practices in process flow, i.e, Employees trying to deviate from the desired process flow can result in damage to the process and in turn, profit.
In my opinion, ERP which ever it may be, if used properly can help your work go smoother. I have personally seen many end-users who feel happy as ERP has reduced their work.
From ERP's point of view,
If user is good, I am the best.
If user is Bad, I am worse.
Most of the ERPs are designed for big organization where operation cannot be controlled/ monitored by managerial oversight. In big organizations with large volume of complex transactions, you need to have system based check and balances to ensure timely availability of accurate data and safe guarding your business assets. These checks and balances force your staff with operate according to best industry practices on which particular ERP is designed. However, such practices will be burden for small organization with limited staff and relatively simple transactions
If the ERP is selacted based on clear requirements specification and gap analysis, it should not be a burden for the day to day operations. Two other importnat factors to ensure effective ERP is an effective change management program and the level of trainign for its users . Well prepared, well trained users with effective local support ensures smooth day-to-day ERP usage.
