What is ERP software?
ERP stands for “Enterprise Resource Planning” and refers to software or systems that organisations use to manage day-to-day business operations such as accounting, sales, supply chain and stock management. ERP software (also known as business management software) isn’t just for big businesses and is pivotal to the success of small to medium sized businesses.
At its core, ERP software brings together a broad spectrum of business processes and enables the flow of data between them.
The fundamentals of ERP software
The fundamentals of ERP software are applicable across all industries including irrigation supplies businesses. They are designed around a structure called a “database schema” that has a common database. This interconnects business processes driven by workflows across departments (or functions) of a business. It connects not only the systems that are integral to each department but also the people who use those systems.
What are the benefits of irrigation supplies ERP software?
Irrigation supplies ERP software will provide:
- One source of truth
- Elimination of data duplication
- Updates in real time
- Data collection from shared transactional sources
- Reduction / elimination of human error
How does this apply to an irrigation supplies business?
If you own or run an irrigation supplies or pumping supplies business, you may still be wondering exactly how ERP software can support your business.
As an irrigation supplies business you deliver water management solutions, perhaps across a range of industries such as agricultural, commercial, residential and mining. Your business not only provides a service to your customers through the project work that you do but also offers stock/supplies (products) for purchasing, usually available through your website and/or your physical store(s).
You face unique challenges and every day is different and your audiences are wide and varied. You may have contractors urgently needing pipe, valves, fittings and accessories for larger scale projects at the same time your sales reps are helping DIY homeowners find the parts they need for small jobs around the house. This, as well as working on your own projects providing water management solutions.
Irrigation supplies ERP software has the functionality to integrate all of these business functions via the common database discussed above.
