ERP stands for “Enterprise Resource Planning”. ERP is software that supports all processes within a company. And because all processes are supported by only one ERP system, the data of customers, items, suppliers, etc. only need to be entered once.
If all is well, an ERP system leads to more efficient processes, better planning and coordination, a better insight into the operation and can even lead to cost reduction. ERP is a tool for maximizing the productivity of organizations or meeting customer needs as optimally as possible.
ERP systems can be used for almost all types of organizations, large and small, manufacturing, trading and service providers. Some ERP systems are industry-oriented, others are more generic. The selection of the most suitable ERP system is often the work of external advisors.
In addition to ERP as a complete business software, there are also solutions such as WMS (Warehouse Management System for Warehouse Management),TMS (Transport Management System for Transport and Distribution), CRM (Customer Relationship Management for customer relations) and BI systems (Business intelligence for analysis and reporting).
ERP software is expensive, implementation costs are high and ERP projects don't always go according to plan. Due to the multitude of suppliers, the selection process is not easy. Implementing an ERP system is best seen as an organizational change where people are the critical success factor.
