In a previous post, we introduced the topic of Enterprise Resource Plans/Planning (ERP). ERP is a variety of software that links all of the different computer systems used by various departments in your company together in a single program. ERPs, implemented correctly and with attention to the needs of your specific entity, can streamline your business, cut fat from the budget and save your core team a number of headaches that can emerge from the problem of running different systems simultaneously.
ERP software works by sorting the different functions into what are called ''modules'' so they can be implemented conveniently, by stages according to the needs of the entity. You might find sales/customer relations module, a production module, a supply chain module, a credit and financing module, and an overall management module. This post introduces some of the basic modules that can help you to think about what you want broadly from an ERP as you try to find one that fits the requirements of your entity.
