White paper: The CEO and ERP solutions


Johannesburg, 24 Jun 2021

Technology – specifically the correct evaluation, selection and deployment of it – can be a game-changer for manufacturers and distribution businesses of all sizes. Because the role of technology is tied tightly to the success or failure of their businesses, getting it right ultimately becomes a top priority for CEOs. This is particularly true for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software selection and deployment, since it gives CEOs the unique ability to build on their past successes, modify those things that have become a net drag, and create a path forward for future opportunity.

Why ERP?

The fundamental importance of having an ERP system is to use software as a tool to take complexity out of daily operations. Company management often has an inherent inability to make the correct business decisions without having the right toolsets to do so. What an ERP system does is take huge volumes of data and makes that data into useable information to drive the company to operational efficiency. ERP can provide flexibility and enable a single view of the truth across single and multiple locations whether they be manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, warehousing, sales offices locally or globally. ERP also greatly reduces the time in informed decision-making. From a CEO’s mindset, an ERP system has to be a backbone tool to house all information that will enable the ability to ensure cost-effective production, on-time delivery and exceeding customer expectations.
