While an ERP is designed to help you run your financials, it won’t keep track of your
employees’ time.

ERP systems are expensive on their own, and setting up the software and making sure all
of your employees are trained can be costly as well.

 Training May Be Extensive

As with any aspect of your company, having employees who are trained and
knowledgeable makes processes more efficient and effective.

departments.
