Surprising ERP Benefits Your Business Can’t Afford to Ignore

The Positive Effects of a Modern ERP

When you compare two computers side-by-side, one that is new versus one built a few years ago, the new one will process things on average three times faster. Think about what this could mean for your business. For example, imagine your competitor has not updated their computers in four years and you are running new equipment bought last month. If a potential customer comes to both of you for quotes, all other things being equal, you will get your quote done three times faster than the competition. The speed at which you deliver your quote will probably be an important factor in the customer’s buying decision.

Another key factor in beating out the competition, is having the right people on your team and enabling them to be as productive as possible. Keeping your ERP up to date can have a powerful impact on this. Studies show a 25% increase in telecommuting is likely over the next few years. And, top talent looks for organizations who will support them in their need for the greater work life balance telecommuting can offer. But, with a legacy ERP system, this is perk is very tough to offer. So, your company may miss out on the opportunity to hire your next top performer.

Additionally, companies running the latest version of their ERP  perform better than their competitors across several key metrics including, customer satisfaction, on-time delivery, days sales outstanding and many more.
