Are you wondering what an ERP really means for your business?
You’re not alone. Many people don't actually now what an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is. Despite the fact that nearly half of all companies worldwide use technology to streamline operations, automate processes and cut costs. You might have already been using an ERP system without knowing – maybe you call it your ‘business software’ or ‘the system?’
In this clear, jargon-free guide we explain what an ERP is, how it works, and - most importantly - how it can help small and mid-sized manufacturers scale, save, and succeed.
What’s inside:
✅ What ERP really is (and isn’t) – No fluff, just the facts.
✅ Why SMEs can’t afford to ignore it – Think it’s only for big businesses? Think again.
✅ A dive into the real benefits you can expect – From cost savings to better collaboration and growth.
✅ Digital transformation demystified – How ERP fits into smart factories and Industry 5.0.
✅ Step-by-step implementation guide – With expert tips to get your team on board.
✅ Survey insights from UK companies – What your peers think, fear, and want from software.
“Many companies implement an ERP because they want to save time and money. Research shows, following implementation, 95% of businesses notice substantial improvements to operations.”
Why is this important?
Until recently, factories relied heavily on paper records and physical labour, and communicated with suppliers
or customers through phone calls. With the rapid digital transformation that we have seen in recent years - think of the rise of AI, machine learning techniques and Robotics - this is not sustainable anymore.
Factories fully embracing the new technology are known as ‘smart factories,’ but equally small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can also transform operations by using the technology in key areas. With over 30 years of experience in industry-specific software, we would like to help you get a head start.
