The ERP (enterprise management system) has the function of integrating the sectors of a company and centralize all its information, making it easier to access for managers and teams.
The use of an ERP is highly recommended for proper storage, since having corporate information scattered and repeated, stored in several systems and/or spreadsheets (Excel, Google Spreadsheets, etc.) for example, is like having a real chaos installed. The organization and unification of information is a fundamental part in the decision making process guided by data. BI starts to be part of this scenario at the moment this information, besides being in the same environment, needs to make sense, be useful and easy to access. In short, the integration of BI with ERP is a necessary and successful relationship. ERP gathers all the data from a company’s processes. BI collects, stores, organizes, and processes this data, making important information available through dynamic and intuitive reports and graphs to simplify the company’s daily routine.
What are the advantages of this integration?
Unifying and cross-referencing corporate information and gaining insights from it is already a huge advantage. But now let’s talk about some of the advantages that occur in daily practice with BI and ERP integration. Check them out!
– Complete and efficient analyses
ERP connects the various areas of the company that no longer work in isolation, facilitating the flow of information that will be essential for a more complete and efficient data analysis. The result of these analyses serves as a basis for decision-making and strategic actions.
– Updated information in real time
Having a way to monitor all your management indicators in real time is an extremely important advantage, because the information will always be updated and reliable. That is, the faster you have useful information about your business and also about your competitors, the easier it will be to prevent or circumvent possible problems and even create opportunities and trends.
– Increased productivity and work efficiency
Easy access to and sharing of information maximizes the workforce and its ability to perform, raising the level of productivity and efficiency.
