What is ERP and How Does it Work?
ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning and is an all-in-one business management system with features to manage all aspects of a company’s operations. This includes functionality for accounting, finance, inventory management, order entry and processing, purchasing, warehouse management, customer relationship management, eCommerce and more. As an all-in-one solution, ERP software is a great fit for businesses looking to grow their business and move away from introductory systems (such as those designed specifically for accounting), manual processes and spreadsheets. Instead, ERP software helps to automate processes across all departments and reduce manual work.

Cloud-based ERP
Cloud-based (also referred to as SaaS or Hosted) is one option for using ERP software. Instead of installing the software on your own local hardware and servers, you access the system via the cloud (over the internet) and the software vendor is responsible for managing the physical hardware and servers and all associated “IT stuff”.
