An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is a type of software that helps organisations manage and integrate key business processes. It centralises information and automates functions across various departments such as finance, human resources, inventory, procurement, sales, and supply chain management. By streamlining these processes and ensuring data consistency, an ERP system enables businesses to improve efficiency, make informed decisions, and enhance overall performance. It provides a unified platform that offers real-time insights, reduces manual work, and helps organisations scale their operations effectively.
