Tapping into the Power of ERP Features and Benefits
Success hinges on more than great products and services. Unfortunately, many companies bootstrap progress by relying on entry-level business software that is ill-equipped for evolving businesses. Standalone accounting systems lack the scalability to support new markets and the sophistication to handle unique business and industry needs. Organizations must continually improve all aspects of their operations to succeed in today’s intensely competitive arena. For example, they need fresh insights into customer behavior and market trends to outmaneuver competitors. Their systems must support omnichannel go-to-market strategies with native marketing and sales management applications. In addition, they must optimize front and back-office operations.
Standalone applications only address one piece of the puzzle, thereby stifling growth. Technology must streamline operations, connect disparate workflows, and give users ongoing access to updated information. For example, construction crews need mobile applications to view and edit blueprints, lists of materials, and project plans remotely from the job site. Manufacturers must integrate workflows to streamline design and production processes, while distributors need to tailor solutions to automate order fulfillment pick, pack, and ship processes.
Disconnected applications create data siloes with inaccurate data and process bottlenecks. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions break down barriers by connecting information and processes in real-time on a holistic, centralized platform. Modern ERP solutions provide a scalable, cloud-based solution and mobile framework that delivers robust financials and integrates industry-specific workflows. In addition, those with role-based dashboards, automatic alerts, and collaboration tools help optimize service levels. However, not all ERP systems are equal. Acumatica’s modern ERP solution delivers a future-proof platform built for growing businesses globally. The award-winning solution features an open architecture that can flex to support emerging business needs with minimal programming and proves easy to use, easy to learn, and adaptable to organizational roles.
