Get tips and advice on transforming your supply chain to build a profitable fast growing business.
ERP vendors can be tricky. The price tag you see isn’t always the whole story—there are often hidden costs that surface later. Vendors know that once you’ve picked an ERP, the last thing you want to do is switch it out down the line. They bank on this, and suddenly, you're hit with fees you didn’t expect.
What Does Your Business Really Need?
When you're running a small business, the goal is to find the minimal amount of software needed to keep things running smoothly. You don’t want to blow your budget on a stack of subscriptions that aren’t driving enough impact.
Not Researching All Your Options An ERP isn't something you want to swap out every couple of years. You need it to be both cost-effective and robust enough to handle your growth. Do your homework and pick an ERP that fits your business needs now but also supports your future goals. The last thing you want is to deal with switching systems just as you're hitting your stride.
As your small business grows, you might wonder whether you need Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems - or both. Understanding the core functions of each can help you make the best decision for your business.
