What is ERP

Welcome to “ERP”

An ERP system your operational backbone – the main stem from which all of your processes, workflows and information flow through.

• A good ERP system helps you fulfill more orders while reducing costs.
• Manufacturers and distributors use ERP systems to improve the volume of accurate production they need to sell quality goods at low prices.
• By implementing and optimizing a strong ERP system, Trigger clients find their resources freed up in ways never before so they can worry less about making the company work and more about finding new business opportunities.

But what IS ERP?

“Enterprise Resource Planning” is an integrated system used to manage a company’s resources, worldwide if needed. A strong implementation of ERP will integrate all of your business management functions, including financial management and accounting, inventory and asset management, order processing, manufacturing, purchasing and logistics, human resources, and more.

But why should MY COMPANY implement an ERP system?

Because if your competitors are, you can’t afford not to, and if they aren’t you have an opportunity to beat them in the marketplace that both you and they have never considered.

ERP integrates all of your company functions onto a single computer system that uses a single database – enabling communication and transparency across the company. Transaction cost is dramatically lowered as well as information does not have to jump from one siloed system to another, but simply flows throughout your organization like a water.
