Enterprise resource planning is the process used by organizations to bring together their various operations under a unified platform and manage them more efficiently. This process of integrating the different business areas and operations is accomplished with the help of dedicated tools and technologies, which can form a complex system called an ERP. An ERP has various features that let the company integrate operations like planning, inventory management, payroll management, marketing, finance, and much more.

An ERP allows a company to access the various facets of their company from a single dashboard like application which will reduce costs, manual errors, and improve the overall efficiency and productivity. It also makes it easier to share information and provides a better way to communicate across the various teams in the company. It makes data collection and reporting more efficient and provides you with quick access to information.

An ERP solution can also be used along with analytics to make better business projections, planning, and have continuous improvement in the company’s business processes.
