Rapid return on investment (ROI)

Accordeon Arrow
The peculiarities of the cloud architecture enable optimized implementation. This means you benefit more quickly from optimized processes, trained employees and increased flexibility.

Agility & Flexibility

Companies can adjust the scope and performance of their ERP system according to their needs. The flexible licensing models also benefit companies with a shrinking number of users, seasonal fluctuations or strategic realignments of the business model.

Always update ready

Accordeon Arrow
The cloud software is always ready for updates. So you can benefit from the latest technological innovations such as process mining, artificial intelligence or robotic process automation.

Focus on core competencies

Accordeon Arrow
By outsourcing system maintenance, innovation and ERP system updates to third parties, you relieve your IT specialists. They can concentrate on value-adding tasks and offer optimal added value.

Future-proof

Cloud ERP platforms can be adapted to your future needs. This allows you to react quickly to changes in the market and adapt your business model accordingly.

Platform Advantages & Integration

Accordeon Arrow
Cloud ERP platforms offer a variety of advantages over classic ERP solutions - extensions through apps and integration, overarching process mining & BI tools, and the development of specific applications are just a few examples here.

Low total cost of ownership (TCO)

Accordeon Arrow
Due to their technological nature, cloud ERP platforms can be introduced more quickly and cost-effectively than on-premises systems. The operating costs can be flexibly adapted to requirements (pay-per-use).

Use inisghts & recognize potentials

Accordeon Arrow
Centralization of data collection and integration of business intelligence tools enable efficient data analysis, optimized understanding of business processes and better decision making.

About Us

What are the advantages of cloud ERP systems over traditional ERP systems?

Accordeon Arrow

A cloud ERP solution offers numerous benefits, including the flexibility of access from anywhere, scalability on demand and cost-effective implementation. The challenges can arise from security concerns and potential dependence on internet connections. This underlines the importance of carefully evaluating your business requirements and selecting a suitable cloud ERP solution.

How can an ERP solution improve business processes?

Accordeon Arrow

An ERP solution can significantly optimize business processes through integration and automation. By linking different areas of the company such as finance, production, sales and HR, it enables a seamless flow of information. This leads to more efficient workflows as redundant data entry is avoided. By automating repetitive tasks, an ERP solution reduces human error and increases productivity. It also facilitates the real-time analysis of data, leading to informed decisions based on up-to-date information. Overall, implementing an ERP solution helps to increase operational efficiency and optimize business management.

What does ERP actually mean?

Accordeon Arrow

The abbreviation ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning, i.e. the planning of a company's resources. ERP software aims to manage a company's resources efficiently. This includes various aspects such as finance, supply chains, trade, reporting and personnel activities - in other words, the usual areas that are dealt with in enterprise resource planning.
