If your business have many different systems across your organization at the moment, manual and automated. These systems are critical to the business and often they aren’t linked. Think of all the things that must happen when a customer places an order. How often is this order information entered into various systems in different departments? The more times it is re-typed or transformed, the more opportunities there are for error.
You may be thinking about your business performance, and have concerns like:
- How quickly is an invoice raised following the dispatch of an order?
- Are salaries and bonuses related to sales performance?
- Are marketing activities targeted to responsive potential markets?
- Are sales people monitored and measured in line with your business goals?
With ADempiere, all of these things (and many others) can be improved. Every department is better equipped to carry out key tasks; and with visbility across all processes you can obtain clear and timely information on which to base critical business decisions.
Why should you be interested? Because, a well-implemented and appropriate ERP system can create significant efficiencies across your business, resulting in timely business information, better customer relationships, a more cost-effective supply chain, improved internal process and, ultimately, increased profitability.
Think of the different systems across your business at the moment, whether manual or automated. A customer places an order. How often is this order entered into various systems in different departments; from finance to distribution to sales and marketing? Not only is this time consuming, but it also creates the opportunity for errors.
Can your finance department quickly query the system in the warehouse to find out if the order has been dispatched and whether to raise an invoice? Can your marketing department rapidly identify those customers who have recently ordered specific product lines in order to better target direct marketing activities?
With ADempiere, the customer order information is entered once and then available throughout the business. Every department is better placed to carry out its task and you have clear and more timely information on which to base critical business decisions.
ADempiere is an industry strength solution that combines ERP, CRM and SCM support for business processes. As opposed to the so called "World Class" ERP solutions, ADempiere was designed for the globalized world. While the current incumbent World Class ERP's had to build layers on top of the core product in order to provide support for multiple languages, currencies, companies, etc., ADempiere had them embedded from the original design.
ADempiere scalable architecture makes it viable for deployments of just a few localized users or thousands distributed across the world. ADempiere functionality is designed around business processes rather than inflexible modules.
The following business areas are addressed by ADempiere business processes:
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
- Supply Chain Management (SCM)
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
- Financial Performance Analysis
- Fixed Asset Management
- Integrated Point of Sales (POS) solution
- Integrated Web Store
- Manufacturing and Planning Control System
- Human Resource Management (HRM)
Selection and installation of an ERP system can be trivial, and the issues involved could be critical to the future of your company. Please do consult with us further before making any decision. The following will be essential:
- Avoid preconceptions. You may have been told that ‘only one system is right’. That may be true, but you may incur substantial additional expense if you issue a request for tender on the basis of one product or system
- Establish what you want to achieve. Targets, in terms of efficiency, cost-saving, manpower, or other factors help you to justify investment and help us to understand your priorities
- Establish your goals. Your business goals will influence which system will cope with future requirements. (An Asian company with plans to expand into the US may face specific issues which some systems will not cope with easily, for example)
- Trust your installation partner. You must trust the company you choose to work with to give you good advice. A quality supplier will help you meet budget targets and give you an informed view of options which may affect your performance later
- Anticipate international issues. If you want to install your system across different geographies, you need to ensure that your supplier can support your presence in those countries
Choosing the right ERP system for your business needs is vital. ADempiere have been designed to deliver a fully-integrated suite of modules across all key business functions. The solutions can if necessary be tailored and customized to the specific needs of any customer in any industry sector.
