ERP: A TOOL FOR MANAGING YOUR BUSINESS ACTIVITY 

An ERP is an essential management tool for companies that want to manage and develop their activity. ERPs are solutions that allow for the collection, centralization, and analysis of precise and reliable data. In business areas such as production management, it is necessary to have a clear view of a multitude of data, such as:

📅 Planning

🆗 Product quality monitoring

🏭 Manufacturing process monitoring

🚚 Logistics monitoring

Although essential, many companies do not have a suitable solution to ensure the management of their activity. This is revealed in the survey conducted by G4 on the use of enterprise data and production management.

Indeed, to date, 28% of companies manage their activity tracking via Excel, 20% are equipped with solutions interfaced with their ERP, and 23% affirm that their production management tracking is not connected to their ERP software. This means that almost half of the surveyed companies do not have tools to centralize all the data related to their activity.

ERP: WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO EQUIP YOURSELF WITH A COMPLETE AND ADAPTED MANAGEMENT SOLUTION FOR YOUR ACTIVITY?

To effectively manage your activity, it is essential to have a unique database, a repository of all the information from the different activities of the company. Indeed, all this data will make it possible to clearly highlight areas for improvement and thus make decisions more quickly.

The deployment of a complete and adapted ERP within your company brings many advantages, the first being to have a single software for a global vision of all the functions of the company. The ERP also allows you to:

  • Increase productivity 
  • Better manage material and human resources 
  • Optimize production costs 
  • Reduce production times 
  • Facilitate information sharing between different departments 

HOSTING: SAAS OR NOT SAAS?

According to the survey conducted by G4, only 30% of companies would be equipped with ERP solutions in SaaS mode. Yet, SaaS hosting offers many advantages.

  • Faster deployment 
  • Cost reduction (no hardware investment required) 
  • More secure access and data 
  • Flexibility in financing the solution 
  • Access in complete mobility
