Staying Ahead of the Competition with ERP Solutions
The continued economic recovery has resulted in an increase in demand for ERP systems. As companies see recovery in their enterprises, they are more likely to capitalise on this by reviewing how efficient their procedures and processes are. The information generated by their ERP systems gives them an added advantage over their competitors and increase growth, but only when mined for specific insights.
Many businesses don’t realise the vast amount of data produced by them on a daily basis. For some, there is an assumption that they are too small and the advantages of using big data to drive decision making do not apply to them. We know that organisations like yours can grow and boost profits with the aid of easily mined data that is analysed correctly. This can potentially expose risks and highlight trends that need to be acted upon. Neglecting insights from data can place an organisation at a competitive disadvantage and they run the risk of missing out on opportunities.
Automating data analysis removes the heavy lifting on the part of the enterprise (by employing an ERP system) and brings vast efficiencies and accurate predictions that can be used in the decision-making stages, based on intelligent data, real-time information and sound business strategy.
Does your Existing ERP System Integrate into your Business Fully?
Integration is key to a successful ERP deployment. Trying to manually integrate multiple vendor solutions with stand alone modules leaves your business open to security risks, inefficiencies and costly upgrades. If you feel that your current ERP solution is stalling growth or unable to integrate with significant portions of your operations, it’s time to consider a new solution.
SAP Business One is fully integrated and removes the high costs and risks associated with multiple systems. TRC Solutions assess the needs of the business, ensuring we understand the integration points for all team members across the organisation.
SAP Business One – The Flexible Option
ERP systems, by their very nature, should be flexible. Once implemented, a business should be able to grow, shift focus and respond to the many market forces that are at work. A flexible ERP system does not stifle growth but clears the way, adapting and helping your enterprise to stay ahead of the competition.
SAP Business One is suitable for all industries (with the exception of heavy manufacturing). Any business that wants to automate their business processes should consider SAP Business One. Your customers are acutely aware of the cost of doing business and will look for cost saving efficiencies. Functions such as electronic invoicing and selself-service has increased efficiencies and saved organisations time and money. It’s not just cost saving benefits either. Bringing your systems together into a single ERP system offers a transparent view of the company, particularly when customers can access their current invoices and payments.

ERP projects are known for going over budget (the dreaded scope creep plays a part here). The team at TRC Solutions pride ourselves in our success rates of implementation. 95% of our SAP Business One installs go in on time and in budget.

This gives everyone in the business a very objective view of the company, regardless of their role or department.
