The drudgery of everyday life....

You are busy-busy-busy every day to keep everything running smoothly. Hard for little, but never grumpy. Well, sometimes a little irritable, that is. Because it all feels so inefficient. Because you're always behind the times. And nobody really sees the pitfalls in time so that adjustments can still be made.

From that hassle and restless feeling you want to get rid of.

Then the first step is to make sure that you get your processes as good as possible and start providing the right operational support/tooling (for your employees) in them. Because by getting the basics right, you can focus on things that make a difference. A good ERP solution helps you do this. Sector-specific, because generic is just not enough to support your specific way of working.

1. You use many different software packages for your processes.
Think estimating, project planning, assembly planning, HR, apps for the construction site or job site, materials management, quality management... This causes chaos and errors. Processes no longer run smoothly. An industry-specific ERP solution integrates these processes so that all business processes run on the same database.

2. You do not have easy access to necessary information about your business.
What is the expected outcome of ongoing projects? What is the status of a project's drawing work? How much more time do we need in production or assembly to deliver the project? Do we have enough cash on hand to buy that highly efficient new drill/saw line? What is the status of overhead coverage? Are we meeting the schedule for this project?

If your business relies on separate systems and spreadsheets that have to be constantly updated and modified manually, it takes forever to get that information to surface accurately, reliably and quickly. ERP software provides you with this - and all other - information easily, insightfully and up-to-date.

3. Your accountant and finance department need a lot of time.
Processing paper purchase invoices, sales invoices, certificates and projects manually, doing repetitive processes manually over and over again. Taking an awful long time to consolidate figures or gather figures from different systems such as spreadsheets and separate software packages.

4. Sales and project management do not function well enough.
If sales and customer data are entered into different systems, there is a good chance that huge problems will arise in project management. If a customer calls about the status of a project or part of a project and you can't provide a good answer right away, you've started to develop a bad reputation. The right ERP solution can prevent this and also save you an enormous amount of time.

5. Your current IT has become too complex and time-consuming.
Custom implementing different software packages, integrating them, maintaining and updating them with patches and new versions is complex, expensive and can cause a lot of headaches. Links can suddenly stop working just like that.

Better than buying more new software and creating an ineffective Christmas tree of packages, is to have one flexible system that contains all relevant information. Which is also linked to each other. That way you can quickly anticipate changing needs and questions.
