A Cloud ERP and a Modern Warehouse System-the benefits
Migrating to a cloud-based ERP solution provides significant advantages over traditional on-premise solutions especially for a warehouse system. The cloud is already the preferred choice for ERP solutions due to its affordability, easy & anytime/anywhere access, lower financial & investment entry barriers as well as minimal setup times.
Work Flows & Tools
- The workflows can be automated in a cloud ERP. With its anytime anywhere access, connectivity with it is never a problem. The procedure for processes like purchase approval etc takes place automatically in the correct protocol and minimizes duplication of effort.
- The user-friendly analytics tools and reporting dashboards in a cloud ERP improve the organization’s agility response to issues. They do not have to wait for someone to compile a spreadsheet and mail it to them.
Inherent benefits of the technology
- Cloud ERP data changes are automatically updated in all parts of the ERP. There is no need to update individual spreadsheets. There is better collaborative sharing of documents no version control issues.
- When you have an on-premise system, ensuring compliance with regulations and creating internal controls is a major hassle. This is not so in a cloud ERP as the responsibility falls on the cloud solution partner who has to ensure compliance and security.
