This article highlights some things you already know and
some you may have been thinking about.
One would hope that an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
solution would offer modules to integrate the entire organization. Unfortunately some software today does not do
this. They handle very specific suite of
applications, but not everything you need.
Every organization has some unique requirements. You solution should address those
requirements fully.
Manufacturers have additional requirements beyond distribution
and the solution needs to be able to address you needs. Tying all those pieces together into a single
repository of information is a key component to drive efficiency in your
organization. The left hand needs to
know what the right hand is doing. You
need the information now, not at the end of the week when it will be too late
to make a critical business decision.
Your competition is too quick to ignore.
The solution itself not only needs to be stable and well
supported, but also the equipment that it runs on. As a business owner you need to concentrate
on the business, not the equipment it runs on.
Partnership. Your
ERP solution needs to be made with a partner that cares as much about your
success as you do. Both of your futures
depend on it. If you get the feeling
that you are just one more sale and it is going to only help the Salesrep qualify
for his bonus, then stop now. You do not
have a partner, you have a vendor-customer relationship.
You are not buying a boxed copy of software off the shelf
where you insert a disk into your computer or other server that just happens to
be underutilized and are up and running in an hour. ERP solutions are complex and you need a
trusted advisor to help you first understand your business as it relates to
available solutions and then a business partner to help you make the transformations
needed to drive efficiency and profitability in your business.
