Many issues in business occur due to poor communication. Communication problems can lead to significant hold ups in the productivity of the business from supply chain to accounts. It is of utmost importance to communicate efficiently in order to create a functional enterprise. The development of communication techniques are required in order to improve efficiency and this is where the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system comes into play. With the implementation of the ERP system, new lines of communication will be opened up between different departments and parties, not only are there new channels of communication but they are also provided in real-time.
The effect of this real-time communication system is that the usually desperate departments within the business are now provided with communication outlets to one central project within the business. This allows for any particularly complex projects to be tracked and monitored right the way through the process as it moves to various different departments. If there are any problems, alterations or interruptions there is instant awareness and therefore speedy action can be taken to fix the problem. This is beneficial for both clients and employees not to mention upper management.
For a company that has several locations regionally, the ERP system is extremely beneficial. Ensuring a single line of communication that links all bases back to one usable system, the company is kept synchronized and motivated.
ERP can save a business money by eradicating the need for secondary lines of communication. As information in the ERP system can be accessed by multiple people at the same time and in real-time, there is no need for the extensive email or telephone calls across the company. Even being miles apart in another building, teams can easily work together through the ERP system by communicating very specifically about issues or processes. There is a much reduced requirement for filters as complex emails do not need to be translated by a central point. This allows the company to move forward, reducing costs and minimising delays.
Depending on the company size and its industry, an ERP system can be implemented quickly with minimal impact on the daily running of the business. Speedy streamlining of the business can begin after installation mainly because all of the information gathered from the different departments will allow for a far more in depth analysis of working processes in a shorted timescale.
With all of this data gathering, it is easy to see where the business needs are or where there is an over-abundance of stock or processes and adjust the business model in order to improve performance.
It can often prove difficult to gather all of this information which can result in inaccurate or incomplete studies. ERP systems automatically provide this information as a simple by-product of its normal processes making it easier, faster and more efficient at locating and allocating resources where needed.
Business owners need a process of gathering much more accurate information that is delivered in a compact and highly efficient method. The ERP system is designed to do just that. Keeping the circulation of information in a way that speeds up processes whilst making the best use of data for future analysis cannot be ignored. The benefits to the business and overall performance will be very easy to spot.
