ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is simply software that takes all of your information and allows it to communicate with each other.
It also transfers data from one module to another in real time.

 

It is a Customizable Software

ERP can be customized to fit your particular business needs. It can be fit to suit the user so that they know exactly what they are getting with their purchase.
