Challenges of ERP system implementation and their solutions

Convincing employees to implement an ERP system

One of the biggest challenges of ERP system implementation is the colleagues themselves, because they often see only the extra work in the process instead of the benefits.

Convincing old colleagues who stick to Excel files and external software that they have been using for decades is key because ERP development will not only focus all data in one place, but also speed up workflows.

AP4 DIGITAL TIP: ERP development should begin with the appointment of management units who can win the trust of other colleagues by department and clearly communicate the benefits of implementing the system. Preferably, they should be employees who have worked with ERP before, because they feel the importance of digitization the most.

The initial skepticism is also dispelled by joint brainstorming, which is why it is also important that all colleagues feel involved in the needs assessment. The more ideas gathered, the more accurate the AP4 DIGITAL team will be able to implement an ERP suitable for the sector.

Creating well-functioning system integrations

An important criterion for ERP development is that it can also be connected with external software. In this way, your colleagues will be able to see everyday processes in one place and the necessary information can be quickly retrieved.

The main integrations of eRPL are:

● the financial systems,

● purchasing modules,

● sales support software,

● the existing webshop engine,

● the warehouse inventory management program.

At AP4 Digital, we develop a completely unique ERP for the company, so we create the optimal connections according to the needs of other software. Moreover, we also develop a complete software package upon request, parts of which are guaranteed to be compatible with each other.

Setting the date of the ERP system implementation

The implementation of a company management system is a process that requires concentration, so the implementation of the ERP system should be timed to a date (about 8-18 months) when no other large-scale projects are in progress.

It is recommended that the work of key people who greatly help the implementation of the ERP system is rewarded by the company at the end of the project with a target premium, because the testing is often carried out by these colleagues in addition to their daily tasks, overtime.

The advantage of the extra allowance is that motivated employees help developers with even higher quality feedback, and a precisely implemented system can even It can pay off for the company many times over.
