Business software solutions, also called Enterprise resource planning (ERP), are designed to help companies collect, store, manage and interpret data. According to “The Unified Manufacturing Environment: Transparency, Collaborations, and Decision-Making with End-to-End ERP”, it is used by a staggering 97% of leading manufacturing organizations to help business management operations run more efficiently, but it can also be hinder operations. Using a standard ERP program can make it difficult to get the full picture of your business operations when not integrated with other important company data, such as production scheduling, manufacturing execution and order management. Without a complete view of the state of your company, it can make it hard to properly communicate, collaborate and keep up with compliance. For this reason, many top manufacturing companies have moved from using an ERP program with a host of other business management programs to a single ERP software that can do it all.
Acumatica has been integrated with Microsoft Power BI as a content pack to help their consumers with business intelligence (BI) and data visualization. The collaboration between the software provides even more ways to access and integrate data. Not only that, but it also enhances your Acumatica experience by providing you with more detailed interactive reports and dashboard analytics.
As a company begins to grow from a small to mid-size enterprise, it becomes more and more complicated to keep up with the company’s success. With growing demands and an influx of new data to manage, it can be difficult to continue to function at optimal capacity.
Implementing a Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is what many manufacturing companies turn to help manage the work load. The process may not be easy, but when considering the time and effort it takes to collect, interrupt and keep track of data on a spreadsheet (especially if you are a medium to large size enterprise) it is well worth the time and money.
