What is the difference between cloud ERP and traditional ERP?

E-warehouse ERP can be delivered quickly; Solve the complexity of the fulfillment process. Order allocation.

The inventory system is to automatically allocate inventory according to first-in-first-out, and priority orders can lock in inventory and ship first.

Delivery management can intelligently manage direct overseas warehouse FBA; Support multi-mode delivery overtime reminder such as order-based sorting, centralized sorting, and picking trucks.

1.Speed of use: The traditional ERP should be slightly faster than the cloud ERP (of course, if the cloud server configuration is more advanced, the response speed can also reach the speed of localization).

2.Data storage location: Cloud ERP is stored in the server manufacturer, but now it is also relatively secure, and the business data of traditional ERP customers are local to the customer.

3.In terms of software fees: cloud ERP is generally paid on a monthly or annual basis, and traditional ERP is generally a one-time buyout.

4.Of course, traditional ERP also adopts an annual billing model, such as us, but our servers are placed on the customer's side. It is equivalent to the charging form of cloud ERP, and the data storage method of traditional ERP.

Let's talk about the real experience of using traditional ERP and cloud ERP

In the early years, I used the traditional ERP, which was installed directly on the host of our factory, and the construction personnel installed and deployed it in the factory, and then left after a few years of training, because it was a one-time buyout, so the software was not updated, and the data was also left in our factory, although it was said that there was after-sales, but after this year, the company could not be directly contacted, which made me depressed for a long time.

Later, the more I used it, the more I felt that it was not easy to use, and I began to use a cloud ERP called C2P industrial cloud, because it was a cloud deployment, the other party first investigated and then implemented, basically there was no installation process, directly gave us an account, which can be configured and upgraded according to our requirements, and because it is a service fee to be paid every year, so their after-sales service is very powerful, we will not give money if the service is not good, just replace the next one, and the data will be directly backed up and transferred.

Generally speaking, it is divided into the following parts: production, materials, sales, purchasing, marketing, finance, etc. Depending on the industry, there are other parts that can be added to it.

In the ERP environment, finance is not a separate department, but a part of the larger corporate environment. It can be combined with software from other departments to improve efficiency and reduce errors.

For example, in an ERP system software, when the purchasing department establishes an order, the financial department can immediately visit the shared order content through the network, and easily get the purchase cost**, retail** (this may not be applicable to all industries), the total order**, the delivery method, the delivery time and other relevant information. In this way, there is no need to specifically notify the financial department about the order information. The number of processes is reduced, and the chance of human error is reduced.

Similarly, when the material department establishes a new material information, the finance can immediately understand the purchase of the new material, the business information (so as to avoid the payment of the wrong person, because when the accounting payable is paid, the system will prompt the wrong business information) and other information.

ERP used to have a name called the integrated system of purchase, sale and inventory. As you can see from the name, it is not just about putting the systems of several departments together, but integrating different functions with the ** chain as the main line.

1. Cloud ERP is ERP software based on cloud computing, the server is deployed in the cloud, inheriting the characteristics of SaaS and open source software as a service, so that customers can get ERP services through the network. Butler Poyun ERP is based on the development of cloud computing technology, providing SaaS model of e-commerce solutions.

2. Traditional ERP software, can not form data exchange, enterprise application ERP generally needs plug-in logistics module, procurement module, the seller needs to pay a considerable amount of money to start, authorization fees, server maintenance, looking for a hosted computer room, equipped with professional technical personnel to debug the system, calculated to be the most expensive, and the utilization efficiency is not high.

The specific differences are as follows:

1. Low cost and low license Compared with traditional ERP, the company does not need to buy a license for every user, the company only needs to pay a fixed amount for the cloud ERP license, and then everyone can use the system.

Second, simplify the maintenance of the use of traditional ERP, enterprises for new functions and new updates and constantly upgrade their system rotation forest, and the cloud ERP operation steps will be very simplified, can be directly to the air ** technical security package, and then update it, which saves a lot of time, but also reduces the workload.

3. Data is more secureBecause the cloud ERP has formulated a strict cooperation and closure policy, it provides the top security and privacy protection for the company's data, which greatly ensures the security of the data.

Fourth, it is convenient for data management because cloud ERP has good scalability. So when all the data is kept in the cloud, the company can move it anytime, anywhere, without worrying about losing it.

Public Cloud – A public cloud is a deployment model for multiple customers who are deployed within the same infrastructure, so that multiple consumers can share access to specified instances of the software. Public contour clouds are popular for their flexibility, ease of use, and ability to scale at low cost.

Private cloud – Unlike public cloud, private cloud is for a single customer. The customer buys the software themselves, so only that customer has access to the software. Private clouds have more control than public clouds, but they don't allow for economies of scale.

Deployment choice – Deployment choice refers to the choice of ERP system to be deployed on-premise or in the cloud, and after selecting the cloud, you can further choose the private cloud or public cloud model.

Service Level Agreement (SLA) – A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a commitment agreement between a service provider and a customer that generally sets out expectations for reliability and support.

Software as a Service (SaaS) - Software as a Service refers to the vendor's random search and payment of software applications through the Internet, not in their own company, their own computer ** software, but through the Internet access software.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) – Platform-as-a-Service is another type of cloud service that refers to the delivery of computing platforms in the form of services, such as application development tools.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) – The third type of cloud service refers to the delivery of virtual infrastructure as a service, including servers and network equipment.

ERP is the abbreviation of enterprise resource planning, which refers to a management platform that is based on information technology, integrates information technology and advanced management ideas, and provides decision-making means for enterprise employees and decision-makers with systematic management ideas.

ERP is a system built on the basis of information technology to help enterprises build a system to manage various businesses. Different from the OA of the enterprise, it is a management information system that integrates and manages all the resources of the enterprise, and simply put, the three major flows of the enterprise: logistics, capital flow, and information flow are comprehensively integrated and managed.

The main functions of ERP system are:

1.ERP system can help enterprises with sales management.

2.Help enterprises complete customer management. If the customer management of the enterprise is not done well, it is likely to lose customers and affect the development of the enterprise.

After using the ERP system, customer information can be integrated, and if customer information changes, it can also be updated in the system in a timely manner. It can also clearly understand the details of the customer's arrears, remind the arrears overdue, and grasp the arrears in real time.

3.Help businesses with inventory management. The ERP system can be used to accurately enter inventory information, solve the problems of inaccurate inventory, unfounded stocking, uncontrollable warehouse turnover rate, and more overdue products, and grasp the inventory situation at a glance anytime and anywhere.

4.Help enterprises to complete production management. ERP can realize the efficient production line mode through the corresponding management module, issue production tasks in a timely manner, reduce the production interruption caused by the shortage of individual materials in production, improve the labor efficiency of the production line, and at the same time reduce office documents and delivery work, improve office efficiency, reduce overtime time of employees, and design the most reasonable production process in advance even when dealing with urgent tasks, reducing ineffective labor.

5.Help enterprises complete procurement managementThrough the ERP management system, you can realize the release and collection of procurement information, timely grasp and analyze the relevant information of suppliers (including reputation, production capacity), supplier continuity management and customer relationship management, open and fair management of the procurement process, and finally through accurate procurement plans, ensure the best materials, save a lot of energy for procurement personnel, and reduce procurement management costs.

6.On the financial side, it helps businesses calculate costs. It improves the timeliness and accuracy of financial data processing, and finally can automatically form an intuitive financial analysis report, so that the decision-making level can understand the true and accurate operation status of the enterprise at any time.

What is ERP? ERP is an abbreviation for Enterprise Resource Planning. ERP is an enterprise management software for the integration of material resources management (logistics), human resource management (**), financial resources management (financial flow), and information resource management (information flow).

What does ERP mean? ERP is not a simple set of computer software, ERP without "management thinking" is not the real ERP, and the real practical "management thinking" must be completely consistent with the actual work situation, not detached from reality. Therefore, how to choose an ERP system, you only need to put out the work situations and problems you encounter in reality, the more detailed the better, ERP can correspond to the automatic processing, that is useful.

Cloud computing ERP software inherits the characteristics of SaaS and open source software as a service, so that customers can get ERP services through the network, customers do not need to install hardware servers, do not need to install software, do not need to establish data center rooms, do not need to set up full-time IT maintenance teams, do not need to pay upgrade costs, only need to install any Internet equipment with a browser can use high-performance, functional integration, safe and reliable, and low-cost ERP software.

In the choice of cloud ERP, according to the different needs of the enterprise, it is best to choose the one that suits you. It is mainly reflected in the comparison of security, performance, service and **. At present, the products on the market include Oracle, UFIDA, Butler, SAP and so on.

However, they each have their own target customers, such as UFIDA, which is mainly aimed at large manufacturers and commercial buyers, and Steward Poyun ERP, which is mainly aimed at small and medium-sized seller users of e-commerce.

ERP is enterprise resource planning, and now it mostly refers to enterprise management software, including financial business, human resources, customer management, manufacturing, and other resources that can be coordinated by enterprises.

This is a problem that the management considers, if you are the management, now consider this problem, don't be in a hurry to do it, no clue but blind application will not have a good effect, ERP online staff quality, hardware requirements, leadership concepts have higher requirements.

In fact, ERP is a very widespread concept, and it is simply understood literally as an enterprise resource planning management. What does it mean: it is how to use the existing resources to manage the cash flow of the enterprise and the actual logistics.

This is related to financial management, chain management, production management and so on. There is a lot of content in each module subdivision. If you choose ERP, the key issue is that the enterprise needs to know what problems I need your software to solve for me, that is, requirements.

With these problems, and then choose ERP, the general enterprise will choose the domestic Kingdee, UFIDA is more famous. Both products and features are pretty much the same. If the budget is high enough, you can refer to other ones in the reference.

ERP system is enterprise resource planning, through which the business process of the enterprise can be realized. Generally, it is divided into procurement, sales, inventory management, production management, financial management and other classic modules, with the development of enterprise management concepts, customer relationship management, chain (logistics) management, human resource management and other modules have also become the needs of some enterprises.

Among the well-known ERP system ownership companies, such as Youyou, Kingdee, Zhibang International, etc., the best ERP software is related to the industry characteristics and scale of the enterprise. The characteristics of the industry determine the required functions (such as some do not need to produce modules), the number of functions (modules) will affect the number of (not all ERP is sold in modules), in addition, the larger the scale of the enterprise, the more expensive it is, one is because of the high complexity of the business, and the number of users (that is, people who need to use ERP in the enterprise) will be relatively large, and some software is unlimited to the number of users and the period of use, such as the ERP system of Zhibang International. Zhibang International's ERP system mainly focuses on solving the business needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, with very detailed functions, flexible systems, and secondary development, which can adapt to the long-term development of enterprises.

Yonyou and Kingdee are relatively large software manufacturers in China, which originally started through financial software and are very professional, while their ERP system mainly focuses on relatively large domestic enterprises, and the software is also very expensive.
