Small and Medium Enterprises generally use more than one software application for follow-up of day-to-day administrative tasks. Accounting, inventory management, billing, generation of quotes, order entry, procurement or sales follow-up, all very specific areas for which companies seek solutions. Often this results in one main application with additional software or custom solutions being developed in Access or Excel. Ultimately, these companies come to the conclusion that lots of data is being duplicated at the cost of efficiency and productivity.

In those cases, an ERP solution is recommended. ERP is the abbreviation for “Enterprise Resource Planning”, and accommodates almost all possible business processes in one central application. The interaction between these processes yields to structure and integration of data that is kept in one and the same database. Business transactions become less error-prone while efficiency and productivity greatly enhance.
