Why Should SMEs Use ERP?

It is essential for business success.

Excel

Many small and medium-sized enterprises conduct their work using Excel or by hand, but there are limitations compared to ERP.
In addition to issues such as loss, omission, incorrect entry, or employee turnover, as the company grows or business becomes more complex, management with Excel becomes increasingly difficult.

Standalone Programs

If a program must be installed on a PC and used by only one person, or if multiple users are allowed but with restrictions, it inevitably becomes inconvenient.
If the accounting team uses an accounting program, the purchasing team manages with Excel, and the sales team uses a sales program,
the same work may be repeated two or three times, and discrepancies in data between teams can lead to significant problems later on.

ERP

Even if you invest heavily to implement an ERP system for the entire company, problems may not be resolved.
Looking at small and medium-sized enterprises five years after ERP implementation, most revert to using Excel for their work.
The main reasons include limitations in customization due to business changes, vendor closure, data errors, and excessive maintenance costs.

Therefore, even when adopting ERP, it is crucial to choose a quality ERP system.

With a quality ERP, business processes become more efficient and growth accelerates.

Because it is simple and convenient.

• When you enter transaction details into the ERP, all related data is updated in real time and reports are automatically generated.
  For example, when you enter sales records, they are reflected in various sales ledgers in real time, making it easy to manage sales performance.
  As a result, accounts receivable are automatically accumulated, eliminating the need to re-enter the same transaction details for receivables management.
• By accessing the ERP, you can view the information you need.
  There is no need to open each Excel file individually; all necessary data can be checked directly in the ERP.
  This saves unnecessary time spent requesting data or exchanging files via email or messenger programs.
• There are no restrictions on time or location.
  ERP can be used not only on office computers but also externally.
  It is accessible via mobile devices or tablet PCs, allowing you to conduct business promptly whenever needed.

Because it can be tailored to your company.

• The scope of work can be set differently according to position or department.
  In other words, the range of tasks can be assigned as user permissions, so data that should only be viewed by certain departments
  or cases where viewing is allowed but editing or deletion is restricted can be managed accordingly.
• Changes in business scope can be applied immediately.
  A quality ERP provides all functions, allowing you to freely add or modify features as needed.
  Therefore, if inventory management becomes necessary while managing accounting, it can be added and used immediately.

Because multiple business processes are interconnected.

• ERP encompasses all business operations required by the company,
  making it highly useful even for larger organizations with interrelated departmental tasks.
  All work can be managed within a single ERP, reducing the risk of data entry errors or omissions.
• When an order is entered, the details can be linked to purchasing or production processes.
  Sales staff working with clients can check production status via the ERP mobile app and make immediate delivery decisions,
  and delivery records entered by sales personnel are issued as tax invoices by the accounting team.
  Records of deliveries or tax invoice issuance are reflected in accounts receivable by client, enabling real-time receivables management.
• There are no issues even if an employee suddenly leaves.
  Data entered into the ERP is not lost, so necessary information can be retrieved and checked directly.
  If previous transaction details need to be reviewed, they can be easily identified through related reports,
  ensuring business continuity even with frequent staff changes.
