As businesses grow, spreadsheets break. An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system connects inventory, sales, purchases, accounting and HR into one source of truth.
Must-have ERP modules

- Sales, quotations & invoicing

Custom vs ready-made ERP
Ready-made ERP is faster to start; custom ERP fits your exact workflow. A hybrid approach — a flexible platform plus custom modules — often works best. Compare in custom vs off-the-shelf software.
Implementation steps
- Process mapping
- Module prioritisation
- Data migration
- Pilot with one department
- Training & rollout
What affects ERP cost
