Do you want to purchase an ERP System?

4 tips for purchasing an ERP system

If you are looking for an ERP System for a wholesale or production company, the requirements and wishes are different if you are a business service provider. But there are some basic things that every company should look at when purchasing an ERP system.

1. Easy to use

It does not matter how large the ERP system you are implementing. It should be easy to use. If working with the ERP solution is challenging, using it can become a tedious task. If it is so difficult, the ERP system will not be fully and properly used by the employees. To avoid such a situation, it is best to choose an ERP solution that is simple and easy to use.

2. Scalability

Companies, customers, and suppliers are constantly changing. It is important that you as a company can respond to this. To be able to manage this properly, the use of a scalable ERP system is indispensable. It gives you the opportunity to let your ERP Software grow along with the growth and ambition of your company. A robust ERP system is essential for every organization. Select a Cloud ERP solution where scaling up is easy.

​3. Customizability

The ability to adjust your ERP System to your wishes is a real must-have. Many companies have specific processes and activities, which can be integrated into the ERP Software without a massive investment. By integrating all your processes in one software solution, you prevent 'island automation' and inefficiency. So choose an ERP System that you can adjust, but also expand with extra functionalities.  

4. The right Implementation Partner

Make sure you have an implementation partner who can guide you excellently during the implementation, but also afterward. Putting an ERP System into use is a complicated project, which can be reduced to a manageable and manageable, step-by-step process by using the correct people. Good management of the ERP project is the key to success.
