How to choose ERP and how to choose the most suitable ERP system for your business

Here's an example:

Wife: "Of course, how many people come, what time do you come, what kind of food do you want to eat?" ”

Husband: "Six people, we will come back around 7 o'clock and prepare some wine, roast duck, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cold vegetables, egg drop soup, ......." Do you think it's okay? (Business Communication).

Wife: "No problem, I'll be ready." (Order Confirmation).

The wife writes down the menu (mps plan) that needs to be prepared: duck, wine, tomatoes, eggs, spices, ......(BOM), found to need: 1 duck egg, 5 bottles of wine, 4 eggs ......(BOM), 6 eggs for scrambled eggs and 4 eggs for egg drop soup (shared material).

When I opened the refrigerator (storeroom), there were only 2 eggs left (lack of ingredients).

Coming to the free market, his wife: "How do you sell eggs?" (Procurement Inquiry).

Hawker: "1 yuan for 1, 5 yuan for half a dozen, 1 dozen yuan." ”

Wife: "I only need 8, but this time I bought 1 dozen." "(Economic bulk purchases).

Wife: "There's a bad one here, change it." (Acceptance, return, refill).

When you get home, get ready to wash, chop, and stir-fry ......There are gas stoves, microwave ovens, rice cookers, ...... in the kitchen(Work Center).

The wife found that it was the most time-consuming to pluck duck feathers (bottleneck process, key process route), and it might be too late to make roast duck by herself in the microwave oven (insufficient capacity), so she bought ready-made ones in the restaurant downstairs (product outsourcing).

Okay, what do you want to eat, Dad also has guests in the evening, would you like to eat with them? ”

You can look at the dishes, but there must be scrambled eggs with tomatoes, we don't eat with adults, and we will come back around 6:30. (cannot be combined).

Okay, I'm sure you're satisfied. (Order confirmed).

There are not enough eggs, so I called the store to send them. "(Urgent procurement).

At 6:30, everything was ready, but the roast duck had not been delivered, so I hurriedly called ** and asked: "I am Mrs. Li, why didn't the roast duck I ordered deliver?" (Procurement outsourcing order follow-up).

I'm sorry, the delivery person has already left, maybe it's a traffic jam, and it will arrive soon. ”

The doorbell rang. Mrs. Lee, this is the roast duck you wanted. Please sign the slip. (acceptance, warehousing, transfer of accounts payable).

No, daughter, Mom already needs to prepare two tables of meals today, it's too late, I'm really sorry, next time I said it early, I will definitely prepare it for you. (Haha, this is the limitation of the use of ERP, to have a stable external environment, to have a minimum lead time).

After sending off all the guests, the tired wife sat on the sofa and said to her husband: "My dear, now that our family has a very high frequency of entertaining, it is time to buy some kitchen supplies (equipment purchase), and it is better to hire a little nanny (even the human resources system has a gap).

Husband: "You are in charge of the family, and you can do whatever you need." (Approved).

Wife: "Also, the family has been spending too much recently, so use your private money to subsidize it, okay?" (Finally, there is the reminder of the receivables).

Remember, every qualified housewife is a strong contender for the director of the production plant.

Understand the actual needs of the enterprise, correspond to the development direction of the enterprise, and then consider how much ERP budget the enterprise has, and then choose which system and implementation party to use.

It is recommended to choose the appropriate management software according to the management mode of the enterprise.

Not every software is right for every business.

1. First of all, look at your needs, what height you want to achieve, you must have clear needs, and negotiate with the software according to your needs. Many companies don't know how to put forward the demand, in fact, the demand is very simple, sort out your company structure, business structure, business **, etc., and let the software company help you if necessary. Sometimes the requirements of the enterprise are very simple, which is normal, and it is difficult to say what you want without experience, because we don't know what the software can achieve.

2. The scalability of the system, such as the secondary development capability. When the enterprise has personalized needs, can it be flexibly customized and developed, such as the need for new functions, these functions should be fully integrated with the original functions, such as permission allocation and other functions can be flexibly configured with the functions of the software.

3. Look at the scale of the software company, you must have the ability to implement it in the same industry, and if you can train administrators by yourself, you can also do it.

4. Looking at the software architecture, B S and C S are OK, and now B S has become the mainstream to facilitate configuration and upgrade. If the function is good, C s doesn't matter.

5. The same product in the same industry, others buy this absolutely search, you also buy this, just use it.

6. The general information platform framework formed by procurement is only a framework for debate, and the software does not need to be investigated, because there is no function to investigate. All the functions have to be redeveloped, in fact, the development is also simple, just make the interface, design the data, the users, permissions, processes, etc. are all done. Developers can be recruited from the society, or recruited from schools, and cultivated little by little.

To evaluate whether an ERP system is a good fit for the needs of your current business, there are a few things to consider:

Matching of business needs: Our goal in selecting ERP is to make the system suitable for the requirements and status quo of the enterprise! If the company only provides standardized modules and flow rushing and lack of lease, the enterprise often needs to change the process to adapt to the system in the later stage, which may lead to waste of resources or even lower efficiency.

System scalability: Enterprises need to evaluate the scalability and configurability of the ERP system to ensure that the system can be adjusted and upgraded accordingly as the enterprise grows.

Data security: The ERP system stores the core data of the enterprise, such as finance, customer resources, core technology and other information, so it is very important to evaluate the data security of the system! Like many ERP systems, the best business will highly encrypt the cloud data storage for customers, and the first business itself has no access to multiple functional permissions and data permissions.

Enterprise benefits: Enterprises need to evaluate the impact of ERP systems on the financial status and operational efficiency of enterprises, and whether they can bring significant benefits to enterprises, including improving production efficiency, reducing costs, and optimizing resource allocation.

Ease of use: User experience and ease of use are also important metrics for evaluating ERP. ERP system involves the use of multiple departments and employees, if the scent system is difficult to use or the user experience is not good, it will affect the work efficiency of employees and the productivity of the enterprise.

FinallyC2P Industrial CloudRemind you to fully consider before choosing an ERP system; The qualifications of the system, such as first-line industry implementation experience, flexibility (whether there are industry restrictions, whether it can be upgraded and expanded), compatibility (integration with existing software), etc., basically will not make mistakes!
