What Should Your IT Team Ask Potential ERP Vendors?

Before you make any decisions about which ERP vendor services your software, we recommend encouraging your IT and development team to ask potential vendors the following questions. After all, they’ll be responsible for the nitty-gritty technical tasks, so they should feel comfortable with the ERP system you choose.

Pros and Cons of Business Process Automation

Labor shortages and the ability to increase accuracy and efficiency make business process automation enticing for manufacturers and distributors. But when does automation go too far? This is the question that has divided industry experts and thought leaders.

Paperless Automation Improves Your Business

When it comes to your workplace, how you handle your daily tasks is one of the most important aspects of achieving success. One of those daily tasks is how your business uses documents—the more you rely on paper, the less efficient you’ll be. 

How Integration Improves Made-to-Stock Manufacturing

For Made-to-Stock (MTS) manufacturers, producing your products is based on expected customer demand. This puts many businesses in a delicate position because they must unite everything under one roof. That’s why systems integration can be so beneficial to MTS manufacturers—they can achieve full transparency throughout their enterprise.  

Doing More with Less: Workplace Shortages and ERP

In many cases, reducing staff and hiring part-time or contract personnel is now standard for many industries. However, this reduces productivity as manufacturers and distributors deal with frequent turnover and staff changes. The result has placed workers on the most unstable ground in decades. With these developments, many businesses are going beyond the question of labor, into that of technology.

In gathering all the best tools for your changing business, an ERP system will streamline your business by centralizing and simplifying existing tasks, creating a more efficient workplace, and more, leaving room for business development.
