Weclapp vs Odoo: A Fresh Perspective on ERP Solutions

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is a software platform that integrates all processes and stores all company data in a single place, such as, for example, sales, warehouse, staff, production, etc. An ERP automates and stores all relevant information that can be accessed quickly and helps the manager and employees in making business decisions. It allows for the automation and storage of all business information, which is then provided instantly and accurately. Customer orders, inventory control and management, production and distribution, financial planning - all this is possible with an ERP solution.

An ERP system integrates all processes and departments, and when a customer contacts a seller and requests a specific product, the sales department can already check the stock availability of the product and, if the required quantity is not available, send a request to the manufacturer - thus increasing the efficiency of everyone involved in business.   

An ERP helps company to: 

  • Integrate and standardize all data. It works like one big centralized database. The information is always accessible to all responsible employees. No data duplication problems, no obsolescence problems...no problems!
  • Always up-to-date information to handle. The information entered in the system is updated in real time and can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
  • Improve analytical and decision-making skills. Because company data is integrated into a single, centralized solution, the reports generated are more complete and reliable, allowing for more thorough analysis and consequently correct decision-making.
  • improve collaboration efficiency. ERP promotes transparency of cooperation between departments, which also increases the quality of work. 
  • Have complete control over company's resources. Income, stocks, production capacity... everything is under your control.
  • to comply with obligations. Keeps the production capacities in line with sales made and adopts work schedules to match demand.
  • Recognize and eliminate weaknesses in business processes. By observing all company processes in a single system, it is easier to identify and eliminate weaknesses.
  • Increase productivity (and profitability). ERP software improves work procedures and increases your competence. This directly affects the time it takes to produce a product, for example. This allows a worker to complete more tasks in a working day. Of course, this increase in productivity also leads to increased profitability.
  • to reduce costs. An ERP solution increases the efficiency of organizational processes and thus reduces costs. If management were done through multiple parallel programs, the company would certainly incur high costs to implement and maintain these programs, as well as to train the staff.
