There are differences between SMEs and large companies. But whatever the type of business, an ERP system is essential. Whether it's to get your business off to a good start or to keep pace with the market, you need the right management tool. We're going to go over the essential factors of an ERP and explain in detail why it's better for your company to choose Odoo.
Why change ERP?
1. An inefficient ERP
An ERP system can appear dysfunctional if it contains a series of problems. These include an old interface, a lack of tools and missing technologies. They are detrimental to the business because constant maintenance is required and a lot of time is wasted.
2. Changes in the business
What's more, today's advanced businesses require more tools that some ERPs may not yet offer. The company then uses tools that do not communicate with each other, and loses out from an economic point of view. To optimise, the company needs to invest in a new ERP.
3. Lack of applications
While some ERP applications are naturally used by everyone, others are used by certain companies or for specific purposes. That's why it's a good idea to have an ERP system that offers a large number of applications.
4. Non-centralised tools
If you have an ERP that isn't flexible, scalable and doesn't centralise tools. This is yet another reason to change it. You need an ERP with tools that are linked together. That way, you can have a clearer vision for your business.
In addition to the above reasons for changing your ERP, we've outlined the essential factors that it must have. If you find that your ERP is out of date and that it's time to change it, you've come to the right place, because we're going to introduce you to a complete ERP: Odoo.
