DO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS NEED TO WORK TOGETHER?
Consider an ERP
An ERP goes further than an MIS. Instead of each department operating separately, information can flow between different areas of the business automatically.
An ERP generally makes sense when a business has grown and its operations have become more complex.
In simple terms
ERP — Enterprise Resource Planning. A system that connects the different parts of a business so information flows between them.
How information flows
Sales→Inventory→Procurement→Finance→HR→Reporting
One department’s work automatically updates the next — no repeated data entry, no missed handovers.
