How To Know When You Need a
New ERP
Our lives are filled with triggers. Some are obvious. The empty light on your dash triggers you to gas up your car; running out of clean socks triggers you to do laundry. Others are slightly vaguer, like knowing when it's time to replace your home's plumbing or reaching the point where you've outgrown your current business systems.

Yes, often the bigger the undertaking, the more ambiguity that surrounds the triggers. There are numerous possible causes for those water spots in your basement, for those tedious processes at month-end, but no one wants to be the Little Dutch Boy trying to prevent a disaster one day. 

Consider the following a few -- often overlooked -- trigger signs that your organization needs a new ERP.


RECOGNIZING THE TRIGGERS
 
TRIGGER | TANGOING TOOLS
Are you spending significant time reconciling transactions and/or data from one system or database to another? The "right" business management solution integrates your growing business, eliminating the need to pull data from one system into your accounting software and tediously check for errors. If you are running multiple disparate processes across numerous tools, it is a key trigger that you are not running a best-fit technology for your changing business.
 
TRIGGER | DEATH BY SPREADSHEETS
Is your information handy and accessible when you need it, or does it require significant scrubbing to be readable? If you are leveraging spreadsheets to track and report your monthly financials, exporting your system data, consolidating entities, and manipulating it in Excel before presenting to key stakeholders, your business is not optimized with the right technology.
 
TRIGGER | CHAOTIC CLOSE
How does your month-end usually go? If it is more mayhem than methodical -- filled with an overload of manual, time consuming accounts receivable and payable processes -- you not only risk an incorrect entry after the month is closed, but you are wasting valuable internal time and resources on inefficiencies easily remedied with a modern solution.


CLICK HERE to learn the final four triggers
pointing to a new resource management
solution in your business.
