10 Reasons to Consider a New ERP Solution

If any of the elements below have occurred in your organization within the last 6-12 months, then it may be time to consider your first ERP solution or perhaps a better one.

  1. Product Adjustments – You’ve expanded beyond your original product line – or added significant new features/capabilities, any one of which now requires better tracking/monitoring/activities
  2. Management Innovation – You’ve had a change in ownership or management and now have some exciting new ideas for improving operations, service, or capabilities
  3. Channel Change – Your distribution channel has changed or expanded (or you wish to expand) either by target audience type or geographic market
  4. Supply Chain Adjustments – Your current suppliers and/or partners are too costly based on other alternatives – you just need the data and analysis capabilities to compare and evaluate other options
  5. New Hires – Your employee base has grown requiring accounting and payroll adjustments
  6. Regulatory Change – Your industry has new/ changing regulations and/or you need additional trace or audit capabilities
  7. M&A – A merger or acquisition are being considered
  8. Facility Adjustments – You’ve outgrown your current facilities
  9. P&L – Your margins are shrinking, either based on growth or industry/business change, and you need to automate
  10. Competitive Response – Your competitors are outpacing you

PAL Solutions for the CFO

10 Reasons to Consider a New ERP Solution

  1. Revenue Changes – Financial governance/accounting/taxation has changed dramatically in recent years, and with manufacturers and distributors the global supply chain and ecommerce ordering systems make this even more complex.
  2. Industry Regulatory Change – Several manufacturers and distributors, such as those in food, healthcare, children’s toys, cookware, furniture, etc., are facing increasing legislation tied to both parts/ ingredient tracing and production/shipping tracking.
  3. Evolving Security Risks – Years ago, security and financial risk was primarily natural disasters or employee theft. Today, cyber theft of private and financial data including intellectual property can put out of business.
  4. Single-Source of the truth – Your company may have different data sources that inhibit you from getting a single accurate version of the truth.
  5. Expensive and Inefficient Resource Drains – Subtle cost shifts can quickly change a profit to a loss. The same is true in reverse. You need timely information to make profit-increasing recommendations.
  6. Old Technology – Manufacturing and distributing companies that need to update existing systems to handle changes, can lead to a cycle of needless spend and missed opportunities.
  7. Business Intelligence – New and massive amounts of internal and external data may be available, but you’re not receiving it in a logical or useful format.
  8. Silos of Information – Your running multiple systems that do not share their information.
  9. Diminishing Workflow and Processes – Manual data entry is increasing as does the manpower to input it.
  10. New Capacity Utilization – Better data and analytics could help you suggest game changing business action plans.

PAL Solutions for the COO

10 Reasons to Consider a New ERP Solution

  1. Agility – Change is constant so you need an ERP Partner that can manage change and evolving business circumstances.
  2. Silos of Information – Disconnected business systems will bury you in hierarchy, reduce visibility, and contribute to operational bottlenecks.
  3. Automation – Business Process Automation. Without this cornerstone, non-automated workflows contribute to repetitive manual processes that are both time wasters and error magnets. Great ERP solutions provide vetted tracking capabilities that support compliance with industry, governmental/ health and accounting mandates, thus delivering improved visibility and margins.
  4. New Technologies – Cloud, mobile, machine learning and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies help COOs uncover hidden data and meaningful analytics in a more efficient and accurate manner. ERP solutions can capture the strength of Big Data and connect the IoT into critical operations.
  5. Budget Busters – It’s easy for any ERP system to report forensically on what items killed an operational budget. What today’s COOs are demanding are systems that project time/resource allocations accurately and identify the advantages and consequences of making changes.
  6. Partner Advantages – One of the most critical areas for achieving better operational controls is tighter integration to key strategic partners. There are multiple points of connection and opportunity through a well-integrated ERP system.
  7. Do-It-Yourself Tailor ability – Today’s best ERP companies give customers the ability to tailor the applications they are using, by role, by function, by geography, without core re-engineering. Power users can easily move fields and show data to improve their operational requirements.
  8. Strategic Alerts – Data is ever growing – Analytic-embedded ERP solutions allow COOs to set parameters to see potential problems and react more quickly.
  9. Customer Service Excellence – Customer Relationship Management (CRM) capabilities extend insight into all areas of customer interaction.
  10. ‘Good Enough’ – It’s not enough for today’s businesses to have repetitive or manual processes that work; the short-term adjustment to a new ERP solution is worth the long-term operational benefits in capability and efficiency.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PARTNER

DEFINE

PRIORITIZE
Not all outcomes are equally important. "Competitive advantages" must be done your way. "Must haves" are needed end results but the path can vary. "Nice to haves" are important during the implementation to make change management easier.
ee
SELECT
Look for a product and team with a proven track record of delivering on your top priorities and therefore ROI. Be cautious: A strong team with an acceptable product will achieve far more on-the-ground success than the other way around.
