###  Streamlining and optimizing processes 

For long, ERP systems have helped companies to streamline and optimize enterprise-wide processes. They cover a number of business activities, helping you to intelligently manage processes like finance and controlling, production planning and execution, planning, service and maintenance, stock management, sales and procurement and human resources.

The secret to the success of ERP? It helps centralize and harmonize your data, integrates all your processes and removes siloes within your enterprise. Next-gen ERP solutions extend your ERP core to help you thrive our rapidly changing world. 

##  How to excel in a digital world 

Digital innovation impacts every aspect of today’s businesses. Next-gen ERP solutions embrace the latest technologies, such as mobile, cloud, IoT, AI, etc., to help you boost operational excellence. They enable:

  * outstanding efficiency
  * excellent user experience
  * greater agility and flexibility
  * enhanced visibility and intelligence – to boost decision-making
  * smarter collaboration



### ****Advanced planning****

How can you keep up with today’s customer demands for shorter lead times, smaller order quantities, personalized products and diverse product mixes? Advanced planning tools help you ensure an efficient, flexible supply chain while keeping inventories small and costs low.

### ****Field services****

In today’s highly competitive market, customers want much more than high-quality products or solutions. They expect superior services, too. The right processes and solutions can help you make your services run like clockwork – to spur customer delight, boost efficiency, cut costs and even increase revenue or win new business.

### ****Global trade****

The world has become a village and the internet empowers every SME to go global. International trade, however, does come with boundaries. A growing web of regulations and duties make moving goods a complex and costly process. Global trade management solutions can help you ensure compliance and reduce risk.

### **Invoice management**

Manual invoice processing is slow and error-prone and, as a result, costly. What if you could help your accounts payable (AP) staff to automatically process invoices – from recognition to approval, posting and archiving? Whether you’re a large company or an SME, the return on investment will be quick and impressive. 

### **Lot size one**

B2C and B2B customers, in the most diverse sectors, increasingly demand personalized solutions and services. To meet that need, manufacturing companies evolve towards a ‘lot size one’ approach. Does that imply rewriting your business model or invest big in the newest technology? Not necessarily!

### ******Public cloud ERP******

While in the past, many companies stuck to on-premise solutions or to the private cloud for security and compliance reasons, the public cloud is now rapidly gaining steam. How can it help make your business future-proof?

### ******Smart maintenance******

Driven by innovations like big data applications, the Internet of Things, machine learning, augmented reality, etc., maintenance is becoming increasingly smart. The benefits? In addition to maximizing uptime, smart maintenance helps to increase productivity, reduce maintenance costs, extend equipment lifetime and ensure compliance.

### ******Smart warehouse******

Warehouses ‘manned’ with robots and drones to pick, scan and move goods: is it science-fiction? No! Companies are increasingly introducing new technologies into their warehouses to meet their customers’ needs for ‘always faster and better’ deliveries. Optimizing your warehouse will help you boost productivity and cut costs.

### ******Strategic sourcing******

The old-school procurement approach, which focuses solely on getting the most competitive price possible, is on its way out. New market requirements urge companies to look beyond purchase price and base sourcing decisions on the total cost of a product or service throughout its lifecycle.
