Revolutionize distribution operations with a modern ERP
Improve business productivity and agility
Modern enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are helping businesses around the globe—including your competitors—revolutionize their operations. Distributors of all sizes are adopting technology that is designed to better manage business processes on an integrated and real-time basis. Technologically advanced ERP systems are an investment in your company’s operations, efficiency, intelligence, and productivity. Every feature of a modern ERP system ultimately ties back to these improvements, which enable your organization to become more productive, more competitive, and better positioned to meet your customers’ needs.
As these business systems evolved, they met the needs of their times, but their functionality was directly limited by the available technology. Today’s ERP systems might be better called digital operations platforms (DOP) to reflect their agile, artificial intelligence (AI)-based, and experience-driven nature, as well as the critical role they play in cloud-based, digital businesses.
Technology advances have transformed what an ERP (aka DOP) can do for your organization. Modern ERP systems provide a live view into what is happening and how it impacts your business today, as well as in the months and years to come. This helps you to focus on the future instead of the past.
Misconceptions delay modernization
There are several misconceptions that hold distributors back from modernization, and from moving their ERP system into the cloud. These misconceptions include the belief that the cloud isn’t secure, that it’s more expensive, that outages occur more frequently, and that a cloud-based ERP is one-size-fits all. Business leaders are also concerned that an ERP implementation will cause significant disruption to the business, cause the organization to lose focus, or even “break” business processes that the company looks upon as core to its success.
In today’s fast moving, increasingly competitive business environment, distributors need complete, enterprise-wide visibility and the ability to collaborate across the business. They need the agility and flexibility to quickly respond to a changing market, grow, and expand to take advantage of new opportunities—ideally, before the competition. Legacy system functionality may have been good enough for previous eras, but no longer serves these evolving requirements. Today’s way of doing business is data-driven and demands proper tools to access, share, and leverage this data in order to make business decisions to not just survive, but also grow your business.
