ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. It is an enterprise resource planning, which refers to software and systems used to plan, manage and organize all core supply chain, production, service, financial and other processes. It was originally used mainly in the manufacturing industry, but later it continued to develop and ERP was gradually applied to all walks of life, including the cross-border e-commerce industry. Why do cross-border e-commerce sellers use ERP?
First, the ERP system can provide enterprises with a unified and reliable data source, and once the data is entered, it can be shared globally. Cross-border enterprises will include multiple departments such as the finance department and the procurement department. If they use different software and the information cannot be updated synchronously, there will be information inequality.
If the information is unequal, the communication cost will increase, the work efficiency will decrease, and even information errors and omissions will cause greater losses. The ERP system can greatly improve the operational efficiency and data accuracy of the enterprise.
Second, sellers can use the ERP system to track all bills and payment slips, query inventory items in real time, and query the progress of solving problems raised by customers in real time. In addition, it can also manage employee wages and assign tasks. For independent sellers, ERP can not only improve work efficiency, deepen insights, and speed up the reporting process, but also reduce risks.
Especially for sellers operating on multiple platforms, the effect will be more significant. Since multi-platform sellers have a lot of data to check every day, manual data decision-making is not only inefficient, but also prone to errors.
So, the ERP system is so powerful, why not? In fact, some people say that ERP is not good, mainly traditional ERP. Traditional ERP is really difficult to meet the current data economy era. But a powerful ERP system changes with the changes in user needs and is constantly optimized.
Independent station sellers are choosing ERP when sellers need to consider the security, stability and service quality of the system. They can check more online reviews, or refer to the opinions of their peers, and choose the most appropriate reviews according to their actual situation.
