Enterprise Resource Planning
Description
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems provide a centralized, all-in-one platform that allows an organization to sync many facets of their organization into one database. ERP software will typically integrate the operations of order processing & fulfillment, purchasing, human resources, manufacturing, and customer & supplier management.
How does it work?
With ERP systems, all of your organization’s vital business functions— production, finance, human resources, marketing, sales, purchasing—share a central source of real time information. When you sync an ERP with the Clear Spider system, you are updating the items, quantities, orders (inbound/outbound), suppliers, accounts, CRM etc. to their current values.
This can be done by pulling information out of the system(s) or by pushing information into a system. By syncing the information, you are ensuring the quantities shown within all the systems are correct so the organization can plan their future production schedules accordingly.
