What is the use of ERP in business?

ERP systems are pivotal tools for businesses, especially in the supply chain sector, as they help manage all the moving parts of distribution, production, and manufacturing. They are essential for fast-growing businesses, speeding up customer response times and eliminating repetitive tasks so you can focus on other business decisions!

An ERP system manages a company’s core business processes through integrated applications or other relevant extensions or modules.

How does a cloud-based ERP system work?

A cloud-based ERP system is a suite of applications for managing business processes hosted on a public, e.g. Azure, or private (TVision) cloud rather than installed locally on a company’s servers. Cloud ERP software, such as Bevica, operates as a service that companies can access anytime from any location.

The main difference between on-premise ERP and cloud ERP is that on-premise ERP solutions are installed locally on your company’s hardware and servers and then managed by your IT staff. In contrast, cloud-based ERP systems are provided as a service and can greatly improve efficiency.

What are the benefits of using ERP?

Is ERP more than just finance?

Yes, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is definitely more than just finance. While it includes financial management and accounting, it also involves other aspects of a business, such as inventory control, supply chain management, customer relationship management, and more. ERP systems integrate all these different functions into one centralised system, allowing for greater efficiency and better-informed decision-making.

What size business needs ERP?

ERP can be useful for businesses of all sizes, but it is particularly beneficial for organisations that are ambitious and growing, as well as medium to large-sized businesses with multiple departments and complex operations. Small businesses may not require the full functionality of an ERP system. They may be better served with the Start-Up or Rapid Bevica Select offering.
