What is ERP Software

I have 7 years of experience in ERP software development and implementation. So, what is ERP? Why do we use ERP? First, we need to understand this.

In short, ERP is a system or software that controls your business or organization very smoothly. It is guaranteed that if you successfully implement an ERP in your organization, your business growth will increase because it closes all backdoors and hidden gaps in your business.

Let’s start talking about the ERP system. It is just an application or software made with different kinds of programming languages. The main purpose of ERP is to create a paperless office, meaning all transactions are done through ERP. Suppose you don’t have an ERP system. If an employee needs something, they physically go to the assigned person and request it. Then the assigned person counts the inventory, and if available, gives it to the user. This process is long and time-consuming, wasting your employee’s valuable time.

However, if you use an ERP, nobody needs to go physically to anyone. If someone needs something, they can create a request through the ERP to the respective department or person. The respective person doesn’t need to count inventory products physically; they can check all current product stock in a second in the ERP system. This is just one example. You can bring the whole business under one umbrella and control it as you want.

Another important thing is that an ERP system is fully cloud-based, so anyone can use it from anywhere if they have access. As management, you can view the overall business status at a glance on a single screen.

Everything in your business can be controlled and directed with an ERP solution.
