ERP

Definition LavisTech · · 1 min read

Quick answer

ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning, a phrase that has outlived its usefulness. In practice it means one place where an order, the stock it needs, the job it creates and the invoice it becomes are the same facts, not four spreadsheets that almost agree. That can be a product or a <a href="/knowledge/erp-business-systems/what-is-custom-erp">custom system</a>.

If your team spends its afternoons reconciling numbers between systems, you have an ERP problem whether or not you use the word. If a product already covers you and you can live with its process, buy it. If not, read custom versus SAP versus Odoo.
