ERP - Why SMEs Should Use it?

To be successful in business

Excel

Many SMEs are doing day to day businesses by Excel or manual bookkeeping, but there are many limitations compared to using an ERP.
Aside from data loss, omission, and employee retirement, it will be difficult to manage using Excel when the company grows and the work becomes more complex.

Unit Program

It will be inconvenient if it is restrictive, installed on a PC for only one person to use or even when multiple users have access.
If your accounting, purchasing, and sales team each uses a separate program or Excel, each team has to enter the same data inevitably, creating duplicate work. Moreover, if the data they have are different from each other, it can later cause a crucial problem.

ERP

Even if implementing an ERP in the entire company at an expensive cost, the problem is still not solved.
Most of the SMEs who implement an ERP system, after 4~5 years, go back to Excel and manually manage work.
This is due to limitations in customizing based on the changes in task, close down of the software company, data error, and excessive maintenance cost, etc.
Hence, it's important to choose an efficient, credible, and affordable ERP.

A good ERP can help you make your business more efficient and grow faster.

A Simple ERP

• The transaction data entered in ERP are reflected on every relevant data in real-time and reports are automatically created.
  For example, if you enter a sales in ERP, it is synced to every sales-relevant book in real-time, allowing to easily manage sales performance.
  Receivables are recorded accordingly, eliminating the need to re-enter the same transaction in order to manage receivables by customer.
• Simply by logging in ERP, you can view your desired data.
  All the necessary data can be checked in ERP, without having to open the data in Excel one by one.
  This can save you the time taken to request and exchange data via email or a messenger program.
• No limit to the time and place.
  Our ERP can be used even outside your office without using your PC.
  You can use ECOUNT mobile app with your phone and tablet PC, quickly processing any necessary work at the desired time.

A Customizable ERP

• Depending on positions or departments, you can set the scope of ERP use differently.
  You can set the authorization of each menu and data by each user ID to limit departments to view only a specific scope of data.
  Or, you can limit certain users to be unable to modify or delete existing data.
• A change in the scope of work can be applied to the program setting right away.
  A good ERP should allow you to use all functions without any limitations, and freely customize program functions to your desire.
  For instance, in ECOUNT ERP, after using accounting management feature, you can add Inventory feature when you need.

A Work-interlinking ERP

• Our ERP has features of all the work a company needs,
  useful for companies with scale, where work is interlinked between multiple departments.
  All types of work can be processed within a single ERP, preventing wrong data entry or omission.
• If you enter in a new sales order, it can be imported to create a purchase or production data.
  A salesperson outside the office visiting customers can make a sales decision after checking production status via mobile ERP app.
  The sales data entered by the salesperson can immediately be invoiced by accounting staffs in the office.
  The sales and invoicing data are reflected on receivables by each customer, allowing a real-time receivable management.
• No problem if a staff resigns abruptly.
  The data entered in ERP will remain, and all the necessary data are available for later view.
  Since you can easily check the past transaction history in relevant reports,
  your work flow won't suffer even if there is a frequent change in staffs.
