What is an ERP system?
An ERP system is a software solution that connects all work processes and work areas together in an organization. ERP is short for Enterprise Ressource Planning, and is – as the name implies – helping create better planning and a more effective use of company resources as department status and all processes are available and visible in one system.

Who can benefit from an ERP system?
Most organizations would benefit from using an ERP system. Especially e-commerce companies would benefit because it would be possible for the salesperson check inventory status at the same time as creating the order – in the same system.
