If CRM only manages sales and customers, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) manages the entire business. It is like the central nervous system of the company, which integrates accounting, logistics, warehouse, personnel and production in one program.

Difference between CRM and ERP

CRM focuses on increasing revenues (front office). Her task is to attract a client and sell him a product. ERP focuses on cost reduction and optimization (back office). Her task is to make sure that there are raw materials in the warehouse, the machines are working, and the employees have received their salaries.

Very often, these two systems integrate with each other: the manager in CRM closes the deal, and ERP automatically commands the warehouse to start packing the goods.

When does a business need ERP?

The company is ready for ERP when management in Excel or separate programs (separate accounting, separate warehouse) begins to generate errors and losses. This usually happens when the staff exceeds 50-100 employees, or there is a complex production.
