What an ERP does
An ERP connects inventory, purchasing, sales, finance and operations in one database so every department works from the same numbers.
Ready-made ERP: pros and cons
Pros: proven modules, faster start for standard processes. Cons: heavy customisation costs, rigid workflows, long implementations.
Custom or modular ERP: pros and cons
Pros: fits your operations, phased rollout, integrates with existing tools. Cons: requires a capable development partner and good discovery.
