Over the past few years, we have often heard the above quotes in conversations with business owners of startups and/or small businesses. An ERP system is often linked to larger companies, long implementations and sky-high budgets. Allow us to demonstrate that there are several ways to get started with ERP quickly, without large costs! How. Thanks to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The checklist for the start-up of a new company is already very extensive for you as a business manager. Both before, during and after the start-up there are many things that require your attention, so business software is not yet immediately considered. For convenience, many companies start with Word and Excel as basic tools to set up their administration. When the first orders are placed, they invariably choose to set up an accounting package to keep track of invoices in a structured way. In addition, Excel remains a very popular tool in which all kinds of data is kept.
Because of this way of working, you automatically end up with a fragmented management of your data. Once the business is up and running, the Excel files with the right stock, incoming orders, quotations, etc. pile up and it becomes increasingly difficult to keep an overview. In addition, you lose a lot of time keeping all these files up-to-date. High time to implement an integrated ERP system and automate your business processes from scratch.
Dynamics 365 Business Central is an ERP system that can be deployed immediately in every SME. It connects all departments within the company and ensures that all your data and administration are managed in one place: purchasing, sales, inventory, production, accounting, etc. Thanks to the extensive integrations with the Office 365 applications, using Business Central will feel very familiar.
Business Central can be deployed as a cloud application. This means that you rent the software instead of purchasing it, which greatly reduces the cost. Monthly billing also spreads the cost. As a result of this rental model, you can keep implementation time very short.
This application allows you to start with a basic version with some functionalities of interest to any business owner. When you and your company are ready, you can expand the basic version with additional modules. Think of a link with your webshop, document management and business intelligence. In this way, your business software can grow proportionally with your company.
Besides this advanced ERP application, iFacto offers you the advantage that the implementations are always carried out by very experienced consultants who give you many tips & tricks on the best way to work and how to flexibly respond to upcoming trends.
