SaaS ERP for SMEs

SaaS Enterprise Resource Planning Software for SMEs

In this blog I'm going to talk about Software as a Service (SaaS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) which is software that will help your business organise, manage and automate daily business operations by paying for a subscription. 

What does ERP software do?

ERP software is great because it offers a wide range of functions that can help to make running your business quicker and easier, making you and your business more productive and potentially more profitable.

ERP software's offer the following and more: 

• Supply Chain Management - Allows you to track things like stock levels, orders, restocking etc. 
• Human Resources - Manage payroll, employee data, performance related data and help to identify HR problems.
• Finance Management - Tracks and analyses your financial data, helping you to see, manage and budget your finances more efficiently and effectively. 
• Manufacturing - Helps to optimize project management, production planning, automating processes and streamlining them. 
• Sales - Can give you sales related analytics and streamlining the sales process by automating time consuming processes.

Why choose SaaS ERP Systems?

SaaS ERPs work especially well for SMEs for a number of different reasons:

• Cost - SMEs do not have the same level of money to invest into traditional ERP systems where you must pay for license, hardware etc. Instead they can pay a smaller subscription fee where they can avoid these high costs.

• Installation - Since the software is in the cloud that means there is no lengthy installation process needed, where as you would need IT expertise to install a traditional ERP system for your business. This means that its reducing even more costs and headaches along with its features!

• Maintenance - All maintenance is handled by the company that develops the ERP system meaning that you wont have to worry about updating or fixing anything if it goes wrong.

Which one to choose?

There are many SaaS ERP systems to choose from, which one works best is up to interpretation. Each Business will have its own unique needs and wants, so here are some links to look at which compare the popular systems and the Pros & Cons that come with each one.
