Enterprise Resource Plan (ERP) is a system that integrates various business functions. Till ERPs became prevalent, each business process had its own system. This created many "Islands of Automation" that could not interact with each other. This prevented consolidated view of the business being taken into account in order to take critical decisions.
ERP uses one database. It also establishes necessary linkages between business processes e.g. inventory triggers based on manufacturing schedules and current inventory levels.
ERP enables businesses to take a consolidated view of its processes thus providing an effective Decision Support System (DSS).
ECI has a team of experts from varied background with skills needed to help client make informed decisions about which ERP to use.
A successfully implemented ERP can provide business with following benefits:
Reduced working capital needs due to
Optimized inventory levels
Optimized manufacturing plans
Increased sales as a result of better lead management
