Making Sense of Cloud ERP for Businesses

ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning is a management solution for running a company. You can think of it as an integrated system of departments or even companies in which information is shared in real-time. The main purpose of ERP systems is to simplify the workflows of businesses and decrease manual labor. Furthermore, the advent of Cloud ERP has made ERP systems more affordable and accessible than ever. Since ERP now runs on Cloud computing platforms, the need for physical data infrastructures is reduced.

Core advantages to enterprises

Supply chain resources

Entrepreneurs can manage their whole supply chain resources more efficiently with Cloud ERP software. The supply chain management ranges from managing distribution, logistics, inventory, customer relations, financial, e-commerce, POS machine sales, and more.

Agile and lean manufacturing

Manufacturers adopt agile and lean manufacturing to improve inventory management and operational capabilities. It is a strategy used by enterprises to promptly respond to customers’ needs and market demands or changes. ERP on the Cloud ensures that this purpose is well-served. Thus, small and medium-sized enterprises can use it to automate several processes and functions without human interaction. They can also increase visibility in terms of quality and control in production. The high level of automation provides more competitive value for every company no matter their size.

Synchronous engineering

An ERP system running through the Cloud is designed with several subsystems to support multiple accounting entities, multiple sales organizations, and flexible distribution networks. It gives centralized management and accounting of data storage and business consolidation. Furthermore, it provides reports in an accurate and timely manner.

Pre-planning and control

The ERP system offers information integration in financial planning, analysis, and decision-making. With the Cloud, enterprises can aim to improve their existing internal control and management platforms. This includes the financial internal control risk system of every enterprise. Many companies are moving to the Cloud to strengthen the integration of financial information.

4 features of Cloud ERP

Flexible

A major benefit of Cloud ERP is flexibility. Cloud-based applications are more able to be scaled up or down depending on the user’s specific needs. Because businesses are constantly adapting to new processes and requirements, they require ERP systems that support dynamic practices and seamless workflows across multiple systems.

Remote-controlled

Cloud-based systems make it possible to access and optimize business functions on-the-go.  Cloud ERP applications that operate from any device, no matter your location, help businesses mobilize their processes, and facilitate offline operations.

Integrated

An ERP often handles many different elements of your business. A Cloud ERP more easily integrates its modules into your other business systems, allowing for automated transfer of important data between them.

Secured

Cloud ERP has a huge benefit in terms of data security. It has multiple layers of encryption, making the system more protected and secured. It gives way for an advanced user-permission setting which can ensure that only the responsible person can have access to company data.
