How SYSPRO’s ERP and BI systems empower South African companies
Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are essential for manufacturing companies to improve their efficiency.
The conventional analysis and reporting systems that most manufacturers use are inadequate in the modern marketplace.
This is because such systems lead to siloed data that slows the decision-making process and limits the company’s response times to changing conditions – which is a major problem if you operate in a constantly evolving industry.
SYSPRO’s ERP and BI systems offer a comprehensive solution to this problem by consolidating disparate company processes and providing accurate data analysis.
We have unpacked what SYSPRO’s ERP and BI systems offer below.
How ERP and BI systems work
ERP systems integrate a company’s various processes, such as accounting, inventory, procurement, and sales, into a single database.
Normally, data transfers between these systems would be sluggish, potentially slowing down other business processes and hindering effective responses to challenges.
By collecting and then collating this data in one place, an ERP system eliminates data silos and massively improves business reactivity.
Employees from different departments can easily access data that previously would have taken them lots of time to track down.
Complementing the data collection and management that an ERP system provides, a BI system focuses on data analysis with tools that make it easy to detect patterns and trends.
Without a BI system, data must be manually extracted, loaded into a spreadsheet, and manipulated to create reports or charts.
This is time-consuming and prone to human error, which can have long-term consequences.
A BI system provides the tools to automate most of these processes, eliminating potential errors while massively reducing the time it takes to get actionable data.
Advantages of using SYSPRO’s systems
ERP and BI are complementary systems that work well together to increase a company’s efficiency – providing enhanced visibility of operations.
This is thanks to the two systems centralising company data by aggregating it into a central repository – providing constant real-time data that can generate valuable insights.
Normally, integrating BI into an ERP system is complex and costly, but with SYSPRO, this isn’t an issue as both systems are tailored to integrate seamlessly.
This makes it a more cost-effective solution to your business’s efficiency.
