6 Reasons Why Your Business Will Run Better with an ERP System

  • Written by News Feature Team


Every business grows uniquely and with that growth, problems inevitably arise. The complexities that develop with success and expansion can at times seem unmanageable with outdated computer programs or ones that don’t communicate and integrate easily. If these problems sound a little too close to home, it may be time to implement a new ERP system. It could just be the solution your company needs to keep succeeding. Here are six reasons why your business will run better with an ERP system.

 

Saves Time

With the implementation of business management software, hours that were once spent creating spreadsheets and preparing the most recent reports are replaced with something as easy as a touch of the button. With an ERP system, all of your latest, real-time data can be pulled up instantaneously to make effective, real-time business decisions.

 

Increased Automation and Decreased Man Hours

Instead of preparing reports, employees can have their time productively spent leaving the analysis and data collection to helpful technology. Once upon a time, we had to wait until the end of year or quarter to analyze reports accurately. Now we can check business statuses daily to plan, change our behavior, and respond to fluctuations as needed while saving on labor costs thanks to automation.

 

Consolidated Data

Say goodbye to the days of separate systems for separate departments. All of your data can be shared with everyone within your company. This eliminates problems that come from having information discrepancies that can cost you money. Can you imagine if warehouse and sales teams received different reports? Your customers could be placing orders for merchandise that doesn’t exist. Not with an ERP system.

 

Increased Visibility

With all of your company’s data easily accessible, you can immediately identify problems you might not otherwise. For example, you might notice you are losing money somewhere but not know how you are losing it or where it is going. With full visibility, you can identify these problems and easily get on the right track to find an appropriate solution. With reports that can be pulled up within minutes, you can find these issues and others like it in a timely manner.

 

Competitive Advantage

Utilizing an ERP system isn’t merely about preventing financial loss. By giving you the capability to analyze trends and patterns at any given time, you’ll have the power to make timely business decisions more efficiently and forecast accurately. By recognizing these trends, businesses can harness the information they need to make moves that put them ahead of the competition. Furthermore, with everyone having access to the same up-to-date information, you are equipped with a team who can collaborate and plan for the future.

 

Systems Integration

By consolidating your data and increasing your information visibility within one comprehensive system, you are given the power to opportunely evaluate the health of your business. As your company continues to grow, so can your ERP system all in one place. No need to consider adding on additional systems for changing needs. An ERP can evolve with your business and whatever challenges crop up. With a complete system, you are no longer dealing with multiple systems serving various functions and all the frustrations that come from that scenario.

 

ERP systems can be a game changer for your business. Whether you are in need of updating your old record keeping or establishing new practices altogether, ERP systems can work for you. For more ideas on how to improve the internal communication within your business, be sure to read on here. Like a well-functioning body, your business can work better if all parts are communicating and interacting effectively.

 

From a garage to an award-winning digital marketing agency

  • Written by Julia Ri


When Nishant Shah and Hardy Desai met working at an energy company while studying at university, they realised they had something in common – an ambition to build something for themselves. In 2012 Nishant and Hardy founded Supple, an award-winning Melbourne-based tech company that empowers small businesses by giving them visibility through Melbourne SEO services, web design, retargeting and AdWords. With a focus on world class marketing skills and technical expertise in the industry, it was only a matter of time before Supple started gaining recognition through multiple awards. In 2017 alone, Supple ranked #22 in the AFR Fast 100, placed #37 in the Deloitte Tech Fast 50 and was named a finalist for Optus MyBusiness Awards 2017.

It all began when Nishant and Hardy were assigned out into the field together while they were both students in Melbourne, supporting their studies through part-time marketing at an energy company. During car trips throughout different suburbs, the duo fast became friends and realised their future goal in running a business could be achieved together. First they recognised that they had different strengths, Nishant excelling in negotiation and customer service while Hardy was an IT whiz with a Masters in Professional Computing and experience in both web and marketing. Wanting to create something of their own using talents unique to each other, Nishant and Hardy decided to tap into the digital market. With an aim to provide a solution-based digital marketing for businesses that needed a helping hand in an increasingly online market, Supple was born.

In 2012, they left their comfortable job at the energy company to commit to Supple full-time. Starting off small, literally working out of a garage, the company grew rapidly. With this growth came the tough task of hiring the best people in the field without the financial security the company has today. Nishant and Hardy docked their own pay to the minimum wage and took out a loan so they could invest in the smartest tech team possible. The investment paid off with Supple delivering excellent results that led to countless referrals, enabling Nishant and Hardy to pay back the loan in 6 months.

In 2015, Supple started gaining recognition, placing in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and BRW Fast 100 for its incredible growth. Supple now employs over 35 full time professionals and opened a Sydney office in 2016. The company achieved a turnover of $161,431 in its first half-year and in the 2016/2017 financial year, Supple’s turnover was $4.3 million. Nishant and Hardy predict the company’s turnover will increase to $9-10 million by the end of the 2017/2018 financial year.

“The Tech Fast 50 showcases forward-thinking businesses and we’re thrilled to see Supple feature this year,” says Josh Tanchel, Deloitte Private Partner and Tech Fast 50 Leader. “Every year we see the bar set higher and every year it is surpassed. In the 17 years that Tech Fast 50 has been running, this year’s top 50 have the highest average growth rate we’ve ever seen, at 664%. We’re proud to be supporting and celebrating the best and brightest of Australia’s high-growth businesses and wish Supple continued success in the coming years.”

Supple’s success is attributed to their industry leading marketing skills like those offered by seo gold coast and technical expertise. The innovative marketing skills used to achieve a turnover of $4.3 million for Supple is shared with their clients who are delighted with the ROI as Supple helps their business grow. Nishant and Hardy also invest in research and development to ensure their technical expertise and the services they provide are of the highest standard. From search engine optimisation to CRO with all digital marketing channels, it’s what keeps Supple the leaders of digital marketing.

“Face-to-face meetings in all campaign meetings is vital to us in remaining transparent,” says Nishant Shah, co-founder of Supple. “Our clients know exactly what we’re doing to meet their goals throughout the work process.”

“We are all about empowering business owners to take charge of their own online presence,” says Hardy Desai, co-founder of Supple. “Anyone can get started with the various tools we have for free on our website. These started as a fun project for employees and a creative change from their day to day work. Not only has it helped staff sharpen their knowledge and keep our technical expertise at the forefront of the industry but the tools are extremely useful and easy to use. Anyone can incorporate a Facebook chat widget on their website or generate a Google Review link for their business!”
