Enterprise Resource Planning – Should You Take the Leap

They aim to formulate applications that create more efficient organizations and deliver value for your money. 

ERP systems combine different business processes that enable the seamless flow of data between them. Through the collection of a business’s shared data from several sources, ERP systems aim to eliminate duplicates making the system an indispensable aspect of business operations. In fact, ERP systems have become a critical aspect in the management of thousands of businesses regardless of size across all industries. 

Fundamentals of ERP

ERP systems are formulated based on a single defined data structure referred to as schema, which usually comes with a common database. This will ensure that all information used across the system is based on common operation definitions and user experience. 

The core structures are interconnected with business processes which are driven by workflows across different business departments like human resources, finance, marketing, operations, and engineering, connecting systems as well as the people who utilize them. In simple terms, ERP is basically a way of integrating processes, people, and technologies across a modern enterprise.  

Let us take an example of a company making mobile devices by purchasing parts and components from several suppliers. This company can make use of an ERP system to track the requisition as well as the purchase of these goods. In addition, the ERP system will also ensure that every element in the procure-to-pay course makes use of uniform and clean data connected to the business processes, enterprise workflows, analytics, and reporting.

When ERP is properly set up at this mobile device company, a component like a front camera is uniformly recognized by part name, material, size, source, supplier part number, lot number, serial number, cost, and specification.

Since data is a crucial part of every modern company, the use of ERP systems will make it easier for data to be collected, organized, analyzed, and distributed to every user and system that needs it to best accomplish their roles and responsibilities.

With an efficient ERP system, all data fields roll up to the exact account in the business’s books. This way, all costs are properly tracked as well as represented. If a component comes in different names in one or two company software, it will become difficult for the company to determine how much is spent annually for this specific component. In addition, it would be difficult to determine if it would be better for the company to switch suppliers or perhaps negotiate for better pricing.

It is important to remember that a key ERP principle is the central collection of data for wide distribution. ERP will bring order to the chaos of having several standalone databases with numerous disconnected spreadsheets. With this system, all users can store, create and use the same data that is derived through common processes. This way, it can be guaranteed that the data utilized is correct, up to date, and complete.

ERP systems, basically, ensure data integrity in every task performed and operations throughout the entire organization.
