Do I really need an ERP for my small business?

Many Small Businesses in Nigeria believes that they are 'too small' to be talking of implementation of an ERP for their business. Many SMEs believes that the cost of implementing such solution in their establishment might cost them another huge investment...yet they still want to get their business right and stay above their contemporaries/competitors. In reality, every business owners want to invest in a cost-effective solution that effectively meet their needs.

Apart from all these, most small businesses has gotten to a level whereby business owners cannot on their own manage their accounts and inventory or using spreadsheet for these activities, creating invoices manually, management of leads and customer relationship etc. Whether your business is at this level or not, your business surely needs an ERP System.

What is an ERP?

An ERP is an acronym for Enterprise Resource Planning. Even, the full name might not in anyway provide much insight on its usefulness in businesses. Come to think of all your processes that are necessary to run a business such as inventory, accounting, sales, purchases, employee management, customer management, POS etc. ERP helps to integrate all these functions into one complete system and you can manage information and processes across all these departments.
