Why Use ERP Software?
As an owner of a small or medium-sized business, you are faced with daily tasks, such as bookkeeping, hiring and training employees, product sales, ordering and stocking products, and customer service. You have a lot of responsibilities, and you might have looked into software that could help integrate some of these tasks.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software allows businesses to streamline financials, reporting, inventory, manufacturing, sales, and more. This financial and operational software can help you see how your business is growing and help you manage that growth.
ERP software offers many benefits to companies. It can integrate your software, manage growth, and provide advanced reporting features. As NetSuite ERP Consultants, we provide best practices on all aspects of the software to help you gain the most from your investment.
Read on to learn more about these benefits.
Integrated Software
Some companies patch together many different applications to manage their business. One software for accounting, another for sales and CRM, and yet another for inventory or manufacturing.
ERP software integrates everything into one seamless application. Benefits include:
- Real-Time Data Access
- Cost Reduction
- Improved Customer Service
- Scalability
- Supply Chain and Inventory Management
- Mobility (Access on phones, pads, tablets)
- Customizations
- Improved Forecasting
Growth Management
Growth depends on timely visibility into the data your company creates each day.
The more clarity you have into what is happening in your business, the better you are able to navigate the necessary risks associated with growth.

Seeing your business is key to driving your business forward.
ERP Software Modules
Every ERP module is built for specific business functions and connects to the ERP system to provide a single source of accurate data.
Read on to learn more about the different modules included in modern ERP systems.
Quoting
Create opportunities and quotes to track your deal pipeline. Measure your estimated gross profit on a deal based on your quoted price. Manage different pricing schemes such as price levels to offer different pricing to different groups of customers — e.g. wholesale vs. retail — or to track specific negotiated pricing.
Order Management
Order management allows you to capture different orders by sales channel. Whether they come from your sales team, your online store, or from an online marketplace, you can capture all different orders in your ERP. Decide whether to allocate inventory to a specific order or estimate delivery dates to your customers based on your supply.
Pick, Pack, and Ship
Formalize your fulfillment process by managing discrete steps. Provide picking instructions to your warehouse, provide packing details and packing slips to your customer, and ship from your preferred shipping vendors using various integrated shipping methods.
Purchasing
Drive purchasing in your ERP the way you want, whether it is for corporate expense or inventory supply. Use replenishment methods such as reorder points, demand planning, and lead times to optimize your procurement. Initiate special purchase orders specific to a sale by leveraging drop-shipments from your vendors or a one-time purchase.
Accounting
ERP has rich accounting features such as subsidiary and product line financial segmentation. Get a handle on your closing process and close your months through a step-by-step monthly checklist. Set up approval processes and internal controls through your ERP to ensure compliance.
Manufacturing
Define your bill of materials and your production specifications to manage all of your manufacturing. Initiate work orders on a just-in-time basis or use replenishment methods to optimize your production. Set up manufacturing routings to define your operational steps.
Technology Consulting
We guide our clients for them to unlock the full value of their technological solutions. We help them choose a trusted technology solution, provide advice for data migration to the cloud, or designing the right ERP implementation process.
