Just a few short years ago, many organizations struggled with disjointed solutions that failed to offer a uniform view of their business. Thanks to enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions like NetSuite, those challenges are a thing of the past. Now your business can enjoy a single view of its CRM, financials, back office operations, and more using a simple interface. Here’s what you need to know.
The Basics of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is a software platform that combines several different types of business functions into a single interface. ERP software often includes accounting, supply chain management, customer relationship management, eCommerce, and core HR features. But many companies also need to add custom modules that meet their particular needs.
What is NetSuite?
Because of the number of features available and the complexity of ERP software, it has been traditionally only adopted by large corporations. But this has changed in recent years with ERP software like NetSuite that is accessible to mid-sized and small businesses.
