ERP or Separate Software?
Separate programs for accounting, stock and sales are simpler at first, but they enter the same data several times and produce different numbers. An ERP connects them in one database. If staff move data between programs daily, it is time for an ERP.
Comparison table
| Separate apps | ERP | |
|---|---|---|
| Data entry | Repeated | Once |
| Matching numbers | Rare | One source |
| Initial cost | Usually lower | Higher, but can be phased |
| Reports | Manual assembly | Direct |
Which suits you
- Separate apps are enough if
- Your business is small and departments share little data.
- You need an ERP if
- Stock, sales and accounting are connected and errors repeat.
