Business growth is rarely an overnight surprise. Over time you may notice an increase in manufacturing volume, more customers can be searching for you, and you may have added to your headcount to keep up with busy times. At the same time you may notice that your business solutions aren’t keeping up and causing problems with this newfound growth. Don’t let your outdated technology sabotage your efforts. Implement the right business management solution and keep moving forward.
An increase in customer orders may not seem like a big deal until you hire extra people to keep up with the paperwork. Entry-level accounting software programs often limit the number of people that can be in the solution at the same time. Also, picking, packing and shipping an increased number of orders may also require additional people to prepare packages for delivery as well as keep up with quickly changing inventory counts. Basic business management solutions may not offer barcoding or other automated ways to track inventory, which means your people are spending lots of time with physical inventory counts. Although you have the people, their productivity is being hindered by your software.
Implement a robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that can support your efforts. An integrated solution, such as Microsoft Dynamics ® GP, can provide control and insight over all of your business operations from customer orders to fulfillment to shipping and delivery. You can manage financials, supply chain and inventory, manufacturing and distribution operations, human resources and payroll, and other core business functions from this business management solution. Microsoft Dynamics GP doesn’t limit the number of users in the solution at any given time. As a result, you can have your team process orders, payments, update inventory, and track shipments all at the same time. This solution also offers automated inventory control so you can spend less time on physical inventory counts and more time getting products in the hands of your customers.
Basic software solutions can only take your business so far before it begins to hamper growth. Don’t let your technology hold you back, implement a more powerful business management solution that can support growth.
