The Ultimate ERP Wishlist
By Katie Foley
The holiday season is almost upon us! Thanksgiving is less than a week away and the day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday and the official start to the holiday season. People will begin putting up holiday decorations, shopping for gifts, and making preparations for all the holiday celebrations that December brings.
Meanwhile, children will be busy putting together their holiday wishlists. This got me thinking, what do ERP users want for Christmas? Let's take a look at the ultimate ERP wishlist...
What ERP Users Really Want
1. Core Functionality. The first thing on any ERP users' wishlist is core functionality, which typically includes finance, engineering, customer service, operations, and planning. Click on each of the links to learn about the individual modules included in each of these 5 functional areas.
2. Advanced Functionality. After you have the robust ERP system of your dreams, it's time to think about add-on modules and advanced functionality. This could be something like Business Intelligence, Advanced Planning and Scheduling, or Mobile Shop Floor Data Collection.
3. Integrations with Partner Software. Okay if you've already got the core functionality and the advanced functionality covered, it might be time to look into integrating with partner software to enhance your use of the ERP system. Visibility has a number of strong partner relationships with seamless integrations to Visibility software. Reach out to your account manager to learn more. Our partners currently offer an accounts payable solution, sales tax software, an e-payments solution, and CAD software.
4. Continued Education and Learning Services. It's important to continue to invest in your ERP system even after go live. As your business changes, new team members join, or the software evolves, your business may want to invest in ongoing ERP consulting to ensure the best possible ROI. Visibility also offers Business Assessments by one of our ERP experts if you don't know where to start or your business is looking for an operations tune up.
5. Admission to your ERP Vendor's Conference. The ultimate ERP user gift! Our annual customer conference offers 2+ of days of educational sessions, one-on-one consulting, open lab time, and networking opportunities. Our 2025 event will take us to the beautiful sandy shores of Singer Island, FL.
