What is ERP?

What is ERP?

ERP, or enterprise resource planning, is a type of software that allows organisations to manage their core business functions in a single, unified system. It helps you integrate and streamline your organisation’s multiple departments, including finance, supply chain, sales, operations, and human resources, in an easy-to-use interface.

Instead of using different tools to manage and collaborate with different departments, an ERP solution brings everything together, helping your business be more productive, efficient and compliant through easy information processing, business reporting, and workflow management.
