Power your tomorrow today with a public cloud ERP system
A delicate balance of people, processes, and technologies holds things together when a company is scaling rapidly. Inevitably, there comes a point when relying on small business software and adding more and more line-of-business applications becomes a blocker to scaling efficiently. For instance, a junior miner moving from exploration to production must graduate from a handful of people ticking things over to a surge in workforce and assets, production, suppliers, partners, service providers, customers, and more. Similarly, a company doubling in size with a merger or acquisition may face complicated financial reporting, compliance, and regulations, and existing systems can no longer give real-time visibility into financial, workforce and operational data.
In many scenarios, scaleups and companies planning rapid growth and expansion face unique challenges, such as preparing for fundraising rounds, scaling workforce capabilities and business operations, and implementing the technology and systems to enable growth and innovation.
Invest in a Cloud ERP system early
And therein lies another challenge: at what stage is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system needed? How does a business balance investing in technology and capability for each stage of its growth? When a company is growing at speed, with every aspect of the business turbocharged, slowing down to plan and implement an ERP system may be a low priority. But fundamentally, it is common sense that the company will only be able to maintain the growth momentum if its business technology can innovate and scale. The cost of implementing a cloud ERP system may seem high. Still, the return on investment in increased efficiency, productivity, and revenue growth can far outweigh the initial cost.
Investing early in a cloud ERP system can be a game-changer, simplifying the complexity that often accompanies growth and giving your business a competitive advantage. With a cloud ERP system, you can streamline operations, improve efficiency, and gain real-time visibility into your financial, workforce, and operational data. This is a stark contrast to competitors with complex and outdated systems, who face challenges adapting to change as they manage inefficient processes that require too much effort and inhibit business transparency, innovation, and growth.
