A practical look at the day-to-day signals that it is time to move to ERP, from scattered data to slow closing.
Most companies do not decide to adopt ERP in a meeting; the need shows up in daily work. These are the signals worth watching.
- The same data lives in several files and nobody is sure which is correct.
- Closing the month takes days because figures must be collected from every department.
- Stock in the warehouse does not match the records.
- Preparing a report for management needs manual work every time.
- New regulations, such as e-invoicing, are met with workarounds.
- Opening a branch means repeating the whole set-up from the start.
If three or more apply, the cost of staying as you are is probably higher than the cost of changing.
