When business gets busy, it may seem like a good idea to hire more people to pick up the slack. There are times when you need to hire more talent or expertise, then there are times when you may just need to become more efficient. You may be surprised at how productivity can improve as soon as you replace manual processes with time-saving technology.
If your office relies on multiple, specialty software solutions, your people may be spending more time handling data than is necessary. Data is often passed through the office and entered into each of these separate solutions or spreadsheets by a handful of key staff. Transcribing data from one solution into another can needlessly waste valuable time as well as introduce the chance for data errors. When management needs a financial report or an update on inventory, for example, you assign a person to go through these software programs or spreadsheets to find and prepare the necessary report. Data needs to be validated, which takes even more time and, likely, another set of eyes. You don’t need to hire more people to handle data, you need a better management solution that can improve productivity.
An enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, such as Microsoft Dynamics® GP, can save time, protect the accuracy of your data, and improve productivity from the top down. One business management solution is much easier to learn and use than multiple specialty solutions, and your data is always within reach. You can manage all of your business activities with Microsoft Dynamics GP, including financials, inventory and supply chain, manufacturing and distribution operations, human resources and payroll, and other core business processes. Fewer people are needed to update accounting or inventory records and management can monitor real-time data from the convenience of their own desk, laptop, or smartphone. Your team doesn’t have to stop what they are doing to locate data and prepare summary reports when managers can use the built-in business intelligence to provide the key data needed for monitoring business activities, budgets, or for making strategic decisions.
Replace disparate, specialty software with an integrated ERP solution and spend more time using your data and less time handling it. Contact Sherwood Systems for information about implementing ERP to get more done without hiring more people.
