Enterprise resource planning (ERP) reporting systems are the analytical heart of any business. By collecting data from all departments, ERP reporting systems help managers make informed decisions and drive organizational performance. This includes collecting data from operations, finance, inventory management, human resources and more. ERP reporting systems track progress toward short-term and long-term goals, identify trends in your marketplace, inform marketing initiatives and provide insights for strategic planning. In essence, these systems provide the foundation for sound decision making and organizational success.
