 EPR SYSTEM

ERP stands for enterprise resource planning. It refers to the systems and
software packages p that organizations use to manage day-to-day
business activities such as accounting, procurement, project
management, risk management and compliance, and supply chain
operations. ERP provides an intgrated and continuously updated view of
core business processes using common databases maintained by a
database management system. ERP systems track business resources—cash, raw materials,
production capacity—and the status of business commitments: orders, purchase orders, and
payroll. The applications that make up the system share data across various departments
(manufacturing, purchasing, sales, accounting, etc.) that provide the data. ERP facilitates
information flow between all business functions and manages connections to outside
stakeholders.
An ERP system consists of software components, called modules, that each focus on an
essential business function, such as finance and accounting, HR, production, materials
management or customer relationship management (CRM). Organizations only use the
modules they need to run their particular business.
ERP evolved to embrace the internet with new features and functionality. Enter ERP cloud.
The cloud offers a more affordable alternative for ERP because it eliminates the need for
software and hardware or additional IT staff. ERP cloud enables organisations of all sizes
and across all industries to make significant cost saving improve business insight , enhance
collaboration and increase efficiency
