It is very common that companies think that investing in an ERP is an expense, when really, it is a mistake to think this way. I will show you some questions and aspects that we must take into account before deciding to acquire an ERP. Among the general aspects we have:
1. Do I want to grow?
It is the first question we should ask ourselves; and looking at current statistics, most companies increase their productivity by 60% by implementing an ERP. Among some of the advantages of using Interfuerza as an ERP we have:
a. Control of the entire system operation, from start to finish.
b. More productive employees.
c. Satisfied customers, since the whole company will be more productive.
d. Substantial savings in labor.
e. Innovative and updated system; where they will grow as strategic allies.
2. Analyze my budget (Price vs. Quality * Results)
It is very important that our solution adapts to our needs; for example: Interfuerza you have substantial savings just by acquiring it:
Hosting with high security standards for your information: It is an automatic savings not having to invest in a server, in hiring an IT staff among other expenses such as energy, special data center, and monthly maintenance fees, etc.
Technical support: For the payment of your monthly fee you will get support via online chat. It is very convenient when you are starting to use the tool, because you will get feedback in a few minutes for any type of query.
Implementation and trainings: Go-Live in record time; trainings with highly trained consultants to respond with assertive solutions, your doubts and concerns at low cost.
Updates: The system quickly implements any regulation dictated by the Law. The same without an additional cost; an example is the Withholdings; Interfuerza already had this module developed before being implemented in Panama.
Facilities: The system provides different packages, either by number of users, or intercompany. The latter allows you to have the accounting of several financial groups and you can implement very easily, paying for a single intercompany users. In addition to the different payment facilities and affordable prices for SMEs; and the opportunity to expand outside the country.
3. Branding and reputation of your Software Partner Company
We are a company with the support of a business group with more than 14 years of experience creating technological and innovative companies; with very favorable results, where our reputation and the satisfaction of our customers, is the most important thing.
4. Another important question to ask ourselves:
- Can I currently get information easily from my company?
- How long does accounting take to provide me with the information I need?
- Do I need my sales team to be more productive?
- Do I need more control on my operational side?
- Do I want integrated software and not have to buy separate modules; and stop doing everything manually?
- Do I feel that in my business I already have volumes of transactions where spreadsheets and paperwork make us want to cry with unrealistic statistics?
If already at this point 2 or more of these questions the answers are positive, it is time to invest in an ERP where you can have all these advantages. Some of the factors that influence a company are: Having control of it. We can not rely solely on whether I have money that is in the bank, we must have solid support that our results are real.
Being able to get information in real time, every transaction you make in this integrated solution feeds reports and dashboards, KPI. Other factors are the results, a solution like Interfuerza where you can manage your companies, will increase the productivity of your salespeople automatically, and you will notice an increase in your profit.
Savings, not having to invest in large technological equipment can be used from a smartphone or tablet, cell phone, among others, with native applications in different operating systems, helps not limit you in the innovations that you can make and participation in conferences, fairs and other; without having to incur expenses mobilizations of equipment or interconnections. Today is a time to invest and not regret it later.
