ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems form the backbone of successful digitalization projects. In this article, you will learn how to effectively digitize and automate analogue processes with your ERP system.
Digital processes offer companies decisive advantages over traditional workflows:
Fast, error-free data capture and processing
Transparency between departments
Automated processes
Adherence to compliance requirements
In concrete terms, digitalization in ERP means that data is managed centrally and processes are controlled transparently.
Analog processes, such as paper-based orders or invoices, can be completely digitized:
Electronic invoices save time and money. Invoices are automatically recorded, checked and posted.
Your ERP system manages stock levels digitally and in real time. This allows you to avoid bottlenecks and excess stock.
ERP systems break up isolated data pools (data islands) and enable efficient networking:
Master data is managed centrally and updated automatically. This increases data quality and efficiency.
Your ERP system connects sales, purchasing and production. New orders automatically trigger processes in all areas.
Automated workflows reduce manual intervention:
ERP systems automatically recognize when stocks are low and trigger purchase orders.
Digital approvals speed up decisions, minimize waiting times and increase efficiency.
A practical project by Dreher Consulting shows the benefits in concrete terms:
The wholesale company was suffering from delayed orders, faulty warehouse management and a lack of transparency.
Dreher Consulting introduced a modern ERP system, digitized processes and comprehensively networked data.
Processing times were reduced by up to 40%, warehouse accuracy improved and transparency increased.
How to systematically digitize your processes:
Identify analogue or inefficient processes and their optimization potential.
Clearly define which processes are to be digitized and automated.
Choose a suitable ERP system. Independent advice makes the decision easier.
Accompany the ERP implementation with targeted change management to ensure acceptance and success.
Digitalization is continuous. Continue to optimize processes on a regular basis.
