An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) platform is a type of software system that organizations use to manage day-to-day business activities such as accounting, procurement, project management, risk management and compliance, and supply chain operations. ERP systems are complete, integrated platforms, either on-premises or in the cloud, managing all aspects of a production-based or distribution business. They support all aspects of financial management, human resources, supply chain management, and manufacturing with your core accounting function. ERP systems are made up of integrated modules or business applications that talk to each other and share a common database. Each ERP module typically focuses on one business area, but they work together using the same data to meet the company’s needs. ERP platforms are critical business software that collects information from various departments in a common database, enabling leaders to monitor the pulse of the business. ERP systems are designed to improve accuracy and productivity, eliminate redundancies, and improve operations.
