The 4 Signs it’s Time for an ERP System

An ERP solution doesn’t have to be an all or nothing implementation proposition. Software modules can be purchased separately depending on your business needs. This will help your team ease into the implementation piece of ERP and it’ll save having to invest in a major software renovation and migration of historical data, both of which can become complicated and expensive. Investing now will save you in the long run.

Here are a few indications you need ERP:

  1. You were compelled by the title to give this list a read
  2. The basics aren’t letting you grow
  3. You’re dealing with disparate systems
  4. You can’t meet customer expectations

Tip – If you or your staff is asking for a new system and there’s a resistance to an ERP change, one of the ways to combat this is to schedule a demo so everyone can see what’s out there. Plus, when everyone feels like they’re included in on the decision process it’ll make implementation much easier.
