An ERP system, also known as an ERP box, consists of integrated modules or business applications that interact with each other.
Each ERP module typically meets the needs of a specific area of business. All modules collectively use the same database, which significantly simplifies company management.
There are basic modules that are generally used by all companies: finance, accounting, human resources, CRM, sales, purchasing, logistics, and supply chain. There are also more specialized settings where applications with a narrower focus are used. For example, an online store needs to install the 'E-commerce' module, while a restaurant needs the 'Point of Sale' module. Companies have the option to install or remove any of the system's modules. This is very convenient for flexible company management and allows settings to be changed quickly without involving developers.
Modern ERP systems actively use cloud storage systems. This is very convenient when all users and counterparties have 24/7 individual access to the system, and management can monitor all processes in real time.
Today, it is hard to imagine any industry solution without the use of ERP platforms.
