Why ERP

Today, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) face a lot of challenges in running their operations just like large companies do. SMEs face a lot of complex operational issues but usually have limited resources to deal with them.

Small businesses like big businesses have to:

• Plan and Manage their resources
• Manage their accounts and track their sales/purchases.
• Manage their tax obligations.
• Pay their employees.
• Manage deliveries within promised timelines.
• Deliver quality goods and services.
• Communicate with customers, answer their queries.

Large enterprises invest millions of dollars in highly sophisticated systems like SAP, to bring their multi-country, multi-company, multi-currency, global businesses into a single platform. This has helped them achieve consolidation of data/records in the fundamental processes such as accounting, taxation, payroll, reporting, and supply chain to name a few.

However, SMEs have been left out because they don't have the financial resources to license, hire programmers and customize such software to match their needs. Systems like SAP have been a no-go for most SMEs. Such systems need a minimum CAPEX or OPEX layout of $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) and upwards.

So small businesses continue to struggle to keep things organized. They often use a mix of applications and tools such as spreadsheets, accounting software, web-based CRMs to manage their day to day record keeping. As a consequence, they have to access different systems to understand customers' master data, sales, cash flows, or profitability. The information exists in different silos. It becomes hard to combine the data in order to get useful insights or alerts. This leads to SMEs being reactive instead of being proactive in their day to day operations. With such a constrained way of working, there's limited scope for growth.
