Let's take a look at some of the ways that modern ERP systems keep us stay connected to our business whether we are vacationing poolside, beachside, or mountainside.
Cloud-based solutions offer businesses so much flexibility whether you're on vacation, managing a hybrid workforce, or running multiple locations. Access your data from anywhere to monitor inventory, sales, finances, operations and more!
Visibility offers both on-premise and cloud-based solutions to suit your needs. While there are benefits to both methods of deployment, we saw many business shift to cloud-based solutions during and after the pandemic as workforces went remote or hybrid and businesses needed more flexibility.
Perhaps the biggest benefit to using an ERP system to run your business is that it provides a centralized place for your business data updated in real-time. This means that no matter where you are or what time you're logging in, you can get an accurate depiction of how things are going. Having one source of information across the company means (1) less manual errors, (2) better communication, and (3) more informed decisions based on up-to-date KPIs and dashboards.
Automation features, such as workflows, keep things to keep moving even when a team member is away. Many transactions in a manufacturing business require approvals from multiple employees. In Visibility, a workflow triggers an automatic email and ERP system notification. If the recipient does not respond within a specified timeframe, the system automatically notifies a supervisor. Workflows help increase efficiency, reduce costs, maintain schedules, and ensure customer satisfaction - even when employees are on vacation, out sick, or working remotely or in a hybrid environment.
The convenience and flexibility offered by modern ERP solutions ultimately means peace of mind for the employee when he or she is away. If the employee is a key decision maker, she will be able to log onto the system as need to get real-time data, KPIs, and dashboards. If the employee is needed for approvals, he will be able to make the approvals remotely or the approval request will automatically go to the next person in line.
In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, an ERP system with the features mentioned above is essential for meeting deadlines, minimizing delays, and driving ongoing success while team members are not physically onsite.
