Signs that tell you to upgrade your current ERP

Being in a constantly changing technological world and ever-evolving company trends, it is likely that your current system may no longer fulfill your business needs. When your enterprise software doesn’t evolve with your company, it can hinder your company’s performance and restrict the financial growth of your business. Many companies try to ignore the fact that they have to stay up-to-date with the ever-changing technology to survive in the race of hunting customers. What their point during the struggle of deciding to upgrade their existing system is the lack of resources, time, and money. What they really don’t see what’s coming along their way is that if they lag the necessary upgrade they have to spend even more money on what’s coming with the delay of necessary updates. 

 

  • No mobile functionality 

Whilst some of the users, let it be employees or customers who work regularly from their laptops and desktop computers many users now tend to do their daily transactions. With business becoming increasingly remote and about working on the move, your ERP system should address the requirement and fulfill the need. By allowing you to work on the go, mobile apps provide a seamless integration allowing you to keep your work up-to-date. With the system allowing you to make use of your time prevents any lag or delay of your day-to-day tasks. A cloud ERP solution which is also mobile responsive turns the user experience exciting and enchanting. A web-based ERP can perfectly tackle this need even without having its own mobile app. The cloud empowers scalability as you add employees anywhere in the world. 

 

  • No vendor support

One of the most critical issues that your ERP needs change is when it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. It can be still useful for your business and your employees might still merely perform their daily tasks using the system. But what happens if you suddenly get an error message or system failure. Without having the support of the developer you will be completely helpless with being unable to initiate any action afterward. Besides, although it doesn’t get you any errors, it is getting outdated day by day exploring security breaches and many possible break downs. If you find yourself as an outdated and unsupported system among all, you may be tempted to stay on it until it eventually becomes inadequate. 

 

  •  Systems don’t communicate 

If your business relies on multiple software packages that aren’t communicating effectively with each other, it is time to consider scrapping them all and looking into an integrated system. Forcing your employees to spend their time transferring data from one system into another will simply waste their time and reduce efficiency. Modern ERP software incorporates accounting, invoicing, and financial analysis alongside the functionality of customer relationship management (CRM) with marketing, sales, warehousing, purchasing, and manufacturing; rendering manually importing data between systems obsolete.
