Many businesses use a weekly meeting to update managers and other leaders with important information. Discussions may include inventory or supply chain issues, and activities, product or services concerns, and status updates for crucial budgets. You may want to discuss implementing an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution at the next meeting.
It may seem like you spend a lot of time in meetings discussing important topics that can have an impact on your business growth and success. Meetings have always been a featured way to share critical data and make sure that operations and budgets are moving in the right direction. However, the more time you spend in these meetings, the less time you have to focus on your own specific job tasks and customers. You may not be able to eradicate the need for meetings but you can reduce the frequency of them by implementing a better technology.
Many businesses are turning to ERP solutions to streamline the entry, sharing, and analysis of valuable business data. Managers and workers from your key departments can enter data into an ERP solution, such as , and share that data with the rest of the team. You and your team can manage finances, supply chain and inventory, manufacturing or distribution operations, human resources and payroll, and other core business functions from this single software solution. Each of you can access the solution from the convenience of your own computer, smartphone, or tablet and enter or monitor data from your own customized RoleTailored pages. You can use Microsoft Dynamics GP to monitor proposed versus actual budgets, in real time, and at any time throughout the week. You can also review customer orders, inventory data, and financial figures. Instead of waiting for the weekly meeting to learn what is going on with these and other important aspects of your business, you can simply click through the data you need within Microsoft Dynamics GP.
While meetings will likely remain a necessity, you can save time and get closer to your data with a better technology. Contact Sherwood Systems to learn how ERP can save valuable time that you can use to nurture your business and satisfy customers.
