Most e-commerce companies introduce new ERP in hopes of reducing costs, replacing existing processes, and keeping up with growing business needs that current systems are unable to handle. Unfortunately, the process of implementing new ERP can be expensive, time consuming, and complicated, especially if the new system is vastly different from your previous methods.
Most new ERP systems are introduced during periods of growth, making it extra challenging due to lack of resources. This complex task is undertaken with the hope of implementing a cost-saving technology to reduce man-hours and improve the efficiency of the store – but because of the rushed nature of the job, is often fraught with expensive mistakes.
What to Avoid When Switching to a New ERP.
Planning an integration strategy to reduce or avoid these mistakes is crucial to reducing costs and downtime so that you can keep your store up and running. Here are a few tips to help you with a seamless migration.
Implementing a new ERP means changing how your business works and how your business processes work. If you don’t have clear goals planned for the ERP, you cannot choose the best solution for your needs and you cannot integrate it to create solutions. Your goal should be to conduct a thorough internal audit of processes and policies to determine weaknesses, areas to improve, and problems to solve, so that you can choose an ERP to meet those goals. This will in turn allow you to understand what is expected of the new system, so that you can achieve something with it and work towards valuable and definable goals.
