Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are digital applications that manage large amounts of data and information related to business operations. They help organizations become more efficient and effective by streamlining processes, controlling inventory, managing customer relationships, and creating accurate financial reports. By using an ERP system, businesses can gain visibility and control of all areas of their operations including planning, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, sales, service, and finance. This makes it easier to optimize resources, enable timely decisions, improve customer service, reduce errors, and increase profits.
