The problem
Many growing businesses have a visibility problem
Sales sit in one notebook, stock in another and the accounts in a spreadsheet, so management learns what happened last month at the end of this one.
Stock that does not match sales
Each department keeps its own record, so the numbers disagree and someone reconciles them by hand.
Invoices that lag deliveries
A delivery is made in one place and invoiced in another, days later, from a re-typed document.
Reports assembled by hand
Figures are collected from several files before anyone can look at them.
The value of ERP
From separate tools to one connected business
Most businesses here already use software: an accounting package, Excel, Word and paper. The trouble is that none of them talks to the others. SmartERP replaces them with one system.
How most businesses run today
- Accounts in Peachtree or another standalone accounting package
- Stock, payroll and budgets in Excel sheets
- Quotations, contracts and letters typed in Word
- Approvals on paper, by signature and stamp
- Customer follow-up by phone and Telegram, with nothing recorded
- A month-end report assembled by hand from all of them
With SmartERP
- Connected departmentsSales, stock, accounting, HR and projects share one set of records.
- Workflows set up for your processEach step hands its data to the next.
- One source of informationOne customer, one product, one employee record.
- Visibility on current dataDashboards and reports read the same records your teams work in.
- Accountability you can traceWho did what, and who approved it, is recorded on the record.
