If your ERP is not delivering what you need, then take action

You may have invested a lot of time and money on your ERP, and in the end, you need the ability to access real time information about how your business is performing, and how best to react to changing economic conditions. There are also instances when you must quickly provide accurate reports that management or the Board requires and then manually recreate something very specific. You could also run into one or more of the plethora of issues shown below:

1. Long month-end close so you cannot produce financial result or lack of dashboards that allow you to view information at a glace
2. Poor real time reporting that is plagued with inaccurate results because of disconnected and siloed systems with no integration
3. Manual data entry that introduces delays and errors
4. Limited visibility into key metrics like profitability or efficiency
5. Costly customization requiring ongoing maintenance as business complexity grows
6. Limited scalability as you grow across locations or entities, which now requires more manual workarounds
7. Lack of vendor support and / or future roadmap alignment with your needs
8. Inefficient approvals and workflows
9. Poor user experience
10.  Compliance and audit gaps
11. Slow application response time, especially running reports
12. Weak security controls or lack of segregation of duties
13. Disjointed inventory and production tracking leading to discrepancies and over- or under-stocking
14. Limited integration between finance and operations forcing manual reconciliations
15. Inaccurate or delayed job costing
16. Lack of multi-currency or intercompany functionality
17. No centralized document management
18. Limited forecasting and planning capabilities

If your ERP isn’t delivering what you need then it is time to take action.
