Running a business requires managing a bewildering array of variables, regulations, problems, solutions, and customer requirements. Attempting to do so without the proper tools and expertise is, at best, a waste of the time and money that you should be using to improve and expand your business; at worst, working without the proper tools and expertise will cause your challenges to quickly spiral out of control and damage your company.
Obviously, one of the most important tools you’ll ever have in your business is your employees. You should be hiring knowledgeable and hard-working people who can face the sometimes bewildering challenges that come with running a business with you.
Another incredibly important tool you’ll need to be successful is software. Not just any software, of course, but the right software.
For many of you, that means an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. At Oates & Company, we recommend Sage products, as they have many different ERP systems to meet the needs of any company.
Their major ERP products include:
- Sage ERP X3
- Sage 100 ERP
- Sage 300 ERP
- Sage 500 ERP
In addition, they have inventory software, fixed assets software, and many other software options to make everything your business does easier than ever.
Take, for example, the success of Major Tech:
Sage ERP X3 will support Major Tech's growth by providing it with a real-time time window into the performance of its business and across its processes, transactions, and business units. With its customized dashboards, Sage ERP X3 will enable all Major Tech employees to access the information and reports that will help them be more productive and efficient.
Pat Shaw, CEO at Major Tech, says, "Though our previous accounting package had served us well in the past, we have arrived at a point in our business's evolution where we need a more flexible, integrated and feature-rich solution to meet our needs.”
