The need for mobile business solutions is increasing every day and enterprise resource planning is no exception. Implementing mobile ERP has far reaching benefits that will impact many facets of your business. The practice of housing a complete ERP system on one computer is long gone, with several new efficiencies being added as part of mobile ERP.
Instant Access
With mobile ERP, information can be entered at any time, from any location, and is instantly available to all employees, providing managers and employees access to constant, real-time business information. The ability to update on-the-go reduces the chance of incorrect data being entered and allows management to respond to any problems as they arise, rather than hours later. This holds true whether the manager is halfway around the world or just down the hall.
Empowered Sales People
Nothing inspires customer confidence in a sales person like receiving instant answers to your questions and concerns. Rather than waiting until they are back in the office, your sales force will be able to access all pertinent information and provide immediate responses to clients. Your sales force will also be able to review the latest customer data and recommend new products and solutions based on the customer’s most current needs.
Flexibility
The increased popularity of BYOD (bring your own devices) and remote access policies for employees means “one size fits all” solutions are no longer viable. Implementing mobile ERP lets these employees stay connected to essential business functions while on the road and assists in a seamless transition once back in the office as their ability to access company information will stay the same regardless of their location. As your employees are already familiar with the devices in question, there is often little to no learning curve in using the mobile ERP. BYOD policies also save on the capital investment of the organization providing devices to all employees.
