What is Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)?

ERP is an acronym for Enterprise Resource Planning, which originally was an inventory management and control concept that dates back to the 1960s. Today, the term ERP has evolved to represent an Enterprise Management System that helps streamline various processes and information exchanges across an entire organization, basically all the core processes to run a company. An ERP system can integrate business processes such as human resources, supply chains, procurement, finance, manufacturing, services and much more, into one system.

Why is ERP important?

An ERP solution is designed to integrate all the resource planning applications of a business, and allows them to share a central, source database. Essentially, it enables different business units within a company to access and make decisions based on the same database. This eliminates the need to maintain separate databases or information silos across different departments. An ERP system offers many benefits, including the automation of core business processes, assurance of regulatory compliance, risk reduction, fast-tracked reporting and others. What’s more, it can be adapted to a broad range of industries, whether it is for wholesale, distribution or eCommerce.
