An enterprise resource planning or ERP system is a centralized hub for all of the occurring numbers and data inside a business. It uses several modules that collect the data and then forward it to the system so that the data are easily accessible at the fastest time possible. Every ERP module is built into the different departments that comprise the company.
ERP modules are usually used to support different office functions, from those in the front line up to those working at the back. These office functions range from simple to intricate such as resource management, inventory control, manufacturing, supply chain management, workforce management, and the like. Such common ERP modules are placed in the department assigned to the tasks enumerated. These modules will allow for the acquisition of business intelligence that will allow for the faster processing of data and numbers.
