What Every Finance and Operations Manager Should Know About Digital Invoices and E-Invoicing

When you’re sitting in the board-room or reviewing the operations of your organisation, the term digital invoice should shift from being an “optional upgrade” to a “strategic must.” Below is a professional, clear walk-through designed for decision-makers, finance managers, operations heads, procurement leads, who are ready to bring their invoice processes into the 21st century.

What a digital invoice really means

A digital invoice is more than a PDF sent by email. It is an invoice created, sent, received, and processed in digital form. It is ideally integrated with your accounting or ERP systems, archival storage, and workflow approval. The key is that it replaces much of the manual handling of paper, and it reduces testing and sorting, and enhances visibility.

Meanwhile there is a closely-related term: electronic invoice (or e-invoice). That term refers typically to invoices with structured data, machine-readable formats (XML, EDI) that can be automated by the receiver’s system. 

In short: 

Every electronic invoice is a digital invoice, but not every digital invoice is a full e-invoice with structured automatic processing. 

Why you should care about digital invoice adoption

From the vantage of a senior manager, implementing digital invoices delivers real business value:

Cost savings in processing 

Traditional paper or manual invoices incur printing, postage, manual input, errors, and rework. Changing to digital invoice workflows can significantly reduce those costs. 

Faster cash-flow and payment cycles  

With digital invoices you can send, receive and begin processing immediately. This improves invoice turnaround, reduces late payments and improves visibility into payables/receivables. 

Improved accuracy and fewer exceptions  

When your invoice data comes in digital form, you reduce manual entry, mistakes, mismatches and disputes. That means fewer vendor queries, less time chasing issues. 

Auditability, compliance and visibility 

Invoices stored digitally can be searched, traced, and integrated with your systems. That supports audit trails and regulatory compliance more easily than paper invoices. 

Better supplier/customer relationships 

When you pay reliably, when your processing is efficient, your vendors are happier and your reputation improves. Digital invoice workflows contribute to that. 

Scalability and future-readiness  

As your business grows (volume, geographies, complexity), manual invoice processes become a bottleneck. Digital invoice systems scale more easily. 

How to approach implementation for organisations

Since you’re thinking with a strategic hat on, here are the steps and considerations:

  1. Review your current process: How many invoices/month? How many manual touches per invoice? What is the error/exception rate? Where are delays?

  2. Define your goals for digital invoice adoption: Do you want cost reduction, fewer errors, faster supplier payments, better control? Get measurable targets.

  3. Check system compatibility & data flows: The digital invoice solution must integrate with your ERP/AP system. Also check how your suppliers will submit invoices and the format required. 
  4. Decide the level of “digital-automation” you need: Are you simply going paperless (digital invoice as PDF + upload)? Or are you going full e-invoice (structured data, automated matching, real-time validation)? The decision impacts cost and benefit. 
  5. Prepare your stakeholders (vendors, team, IT): Your team will need training. Suppliers need to know how to send digital invoices. Define the workflows, approval channels, escalation paths.

  6. Pilot with a subset: Start with a manageable number of invoices/suppliers, test, refine, then scale.

  7. Track performance and refine: Measure invoice processing time, error rate, cost per invoice, supplier satisfaction. Use data to improve.

  8. Archive and compliance: Make sure your digital invoice system allows for secure storage, audit trail, retention policy, legal validity.

How the electronic invoice dimension adds value

When you move beyond digital invoice (i.e., upload of PDF) to full electronic invoice (structured, automated), you get deeper benefits:

  • Machine-readable fields, automatic matching of purchase orders, invoices, shipping receipts reduce human intervention. 
  • Real-time data for payables/receivables dashboards and better financial planning.

  • Reduced fraud risk, improved regulatory alignment (dependent on jurisdiction).
  • Higher level of integration with trading partners and business systems – less “manual hand-offs” between buyer/supplier operations.

Bottom line for your organisation

If I were advising a CFO or operations head: implementing a digital invoice framework is no longer “nice to have.” It’s fundamental. It saves time, saves money, increases capacity and cash flow of your finance department to engage in more value-add instead of paperwork. Going even deeper: by going all the way (structured data, automated workflows) you prepare to have a future in which invoice processing is, on the whole, touchless and in which your organisation is ready to scale and change regulation.

FAQs

How quickly will I see benefits after deploying digital invoice processing? 

You should expect to see improvements in processing time and cost within the first few months of a pilot. Depending on volume and team readiness, many organisations report full return on investment within 12-18 months. 

Will every supplier need to change how they send invoices if we adopt digital invoice workflows? 

Not necessarily all at once, but you’ll want a clear supplier ramp-up plan. Some suppliers may continue paper for a short transition period. For full benefit you’ll encourage them to shift to electronic formats as you scale.

Is a digital invoice the same as a paperless invoice? 

Mostly yes in terms of “no physical paper,” but not exactly. A paperless digital invoice may simply be a PDF scanned or an email attachment. A full digital invoice is integrated with your systems, and an electronic invoice (e-invoice) is even deeper, it uses structured data and automation.

 

Irish family-owned Kepak invests in major digital overhaul

Family-owned Irish meat manufacturer, Kepak, has successfully completed a major Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O across its UK and Ireland estate, marking a significant step in its drive to futureproof business operations. The digital transformation project was delivered by Microsoft ERP, CRM, and Power Platform specialist, Nexer Enterprise Applications.

Kepak sources meat from thousands of farmers across Ireland, the UK and creates products to supply major retailers and foodservice chains including Tesco, Asda, Burger King, and McDonald’s.

Futureproofing the operational systems of a longstanding family business, Nexer replaced Kepak’s legacy Dynamics AX 2012 platform, which was no longer fit for purpose across supply chain, warehouse, and finance processes. This process ensured Kepak’s systems, from suppliers to the final customer-facing transaction, are future-proofed and will grow alongside the beloved, Irish, family-owned company. With Kepak sites already live and the UK rollout of the new systems now complete, the programme is in the final throes of implementation and moving into its post-live hyper-care phase.

Throughout the programme, Nexer consolidated Kepak’s operations by introducing a central billing team to replace site-by-site invoicing, thereby streamlining customer billing across all major accounts. At the same time, supply chain, warehouse and finance workflows were standardised onto a single Dynamics 365 platform, eliminating disparate systems across eight Irish and multiple UK facilities. Underpinning these improvements is a robust solution and production architecture, designed by Nexer’s technical and production architects, which ensures scalability for ongoing growth and future enhancements.

Jeremy O’Callahan, CIO of Kepak Group, commented:

“This transformation has been a true partnership. Replacing our end-of-life AX system with Dynamics 365 through Implement365 gives us the consistency and agility we need to support our farmers and customers alike. Nexer’s strategic support was critical to ensuring the implementation process went as smoothly as possible as business continued around it.”

Martin Burden, Commercial Director at Nexer Enterprise Applications, added:

“With Kepak, we’ve helped to futureproof their ever-evolving supply-chain, warehouse and finance operations through Microsoft Dynamics 365 consolidation. As we move into hyper-care, our focus remains on fine-tuning and ensuring Kepak realises ongoing value from its investment across both Irish and UK markets.”

Custom Application Development Company — How to Choose the Right Partner & Maximize ROI

If your business needs software that fits exact workflows and scales with growth, hiring a reliable custom application development company is critical. Off‑the‑shelf solutions may work for many tasks, but when you require unique integrations, industry compliance, advanced security or AI‑driven features — bespoke software delivered by an experienced team becomes a business advantage.

Why choose custom application development? Custom application development provides a tailored solution that aligns with your specific processes and objectives. Compared to off‑the‑shelf software, a custom solution offers:

  • Full alignment with business workflows and unique user journeys.
  • Seamless integrations with ERP, CRM, payment gateways and third‑party APIs.
  • Better scalability and long‑term total cost of ownership.
  • Stronger security and compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, industry standards).
  • Competitive advantages through unique features and functionality.

Key services offered by a custom application development company:

  • Custom software development (web & mobile)
  • Custom ERP development and integrations
  • Fintech & payment solutions development
  • Healthcare software with compliance (HIPAA, data protection)
  • IoT / IIoT solutions and device connectivity
  • AI / ML integration and data engineering
  • MVP development & rapid prototyping
  • Legacy modernization and platform re‑engineering
  • QA, automated testing and performance optimization
  • DevOps, cloud migration and managed hosting
  • Staff augmentation and dedicated development teams

How to evaluate prospective vendors: 8 practical criteria

  1. Relevant industry experience
    Look for case studies in your industry: fintech software company experience for payment platforms, healthcare app experience for EHR integration, logistics experience for WMS or tracking systems.
  2. Technical stack and expertise
    Ensure the vendor works with technologies you need (backend: Node.js, Java, .NET; frontend: React, Angular, Vue; mobile: Swift, Kotlin, React Native; cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure). Also check experience with microservices, containerization and CI/CD pipelines.
  3. Portfolio and measurable outcomes
    Ask for metrics: conversion lift, process time reduction, cost savings, uptime improvements. Real numbers prove competence.
  4. Development process and communication
    Prefer partners with clear processes: Discovery → Architecture → MVP → Iterative development → QA → Deployment → Support. Regular sprint demos and transparent reporting matter.
  5. Security, compliance and QA
    Confirm the team follows secure coding practices, threat modeling, penetration testing, and compliance measures (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2 when needed).
  6. Pricing models and engagement types
    Assess fixed‑price vs time‑&‑material vs dedicated teams. For uncertain scope, a Discovery + MVP approach reduces risk.
  7. Team composition and culture fit
    Meet the engineers and product owners who will work on your project. Team stability and domain knowledge help reduce ramp‑up time.
  8. Support and SLAs
    Make sure there are clear SLAs, incident response times and maintenance plans.

Common project types and typical timelines

  • MVP for startups: 6–12 weeks (basic features, core UX & API integrations)
  • Medium enterprise app: 3–6 months (multi‑module system, integrations)
  • Large enterprise solution / ERP: 6–18 months (architecture, compliance, migration)

Estimating cost: realistic ranges

  • Small web app / MVP: 10k–10k–50k
  • Mid‑sized business application: 50k–50k–200k
  • Enterprise / custom ERP with integrations: $200k+

(Actual costs depend on feature complexity, integrations, compliance needs and geographic makeup of the team.)

How to structure a low‑risk engagement\

  1. Start with Discovery & Technical Audit — clarify scope and constraints.
  2. Build an MVP — test assumptions, show value and collect user feedback.
  3. Move to phased delivery — deliver in increments with measurable KPIs.
  4. Scale via dedicated teams — staff augmentation or a long‑term managed team.
  • Custom software development (web & mobile)
  • Custom ERP development and integrations
  • Fintech & payment solutions development
  • Healthcare software with compliance (HIPAA, data protection)
  • IoT / IIoT solutions and device connectivity
  • AI / ML integration and data engineering
  • MVP development & rapid prototyping
  • Legacy modernization and platform re‑engineering
  • QA, automated testing and performance optimization
  • DevOps, cloud migration and managed hosting
  • Staff augmentation and dedicated development teams

When to consider staff augmentation or a dedicated team Staff augmentation makes sense when:

  • You already have product management and need extra engineers.
  • You need to scale fast for short‑term sprints or specialized skills (ML, IoT).
  • You want lower overhead and flexible headcount vs hiring full employees.

Dedicated teams are better for:

  • Long‑term product ownership and evolution.
  • Projects requiring continuity and deep product knowledge.

Local vs offshore vendors — how to choose

  • Local vendors offer easier overlap hours, face‑to‑face meetings and often better domain knowledge for local markets (e.g., London, Dubai).
  • Offshore vendors can provide cost efficiency and access to a vide pool of tools 

ERP Ireland Encourages Public to Embrace Tech Reuse, Repair, and Recycling This World Earth Day

Tuesday, 22nd April is World Earth Day and the European Recycling Platform (ERP), Ireland’s only pan-European compliance scheme for WEEE and Waste Batteries, is calling on households to stop tech hoarding and consider reuse, repair or recycling their old or broken electrical items.
Whether its cluttering kitchen cupboards or stashed away in the infamous man drawer Irish homes, attics and garden sheds are full of forgotten electrical items. According to new Coyne Research commissioned by ERP, 1 in 3 adults claim they are holding on to unused electrical items because they haven’t got around to recycling them (32%). A further 15% say they are holding onto old electronics because they might repair them in future.
“Irish homes are full of old and forgotten mobile phones, laptops, tablets and gadgets that we haven’t touched in years,” says James Burgess, Country General Manager at ERP. “World Earth Day, just after Easter, is the perfect moment to take stock and do something positive for the planet. We want people to consider how their old tech can have a new lease of life, either by being repaired, or by being recycled so it’s components can be used again.”
Time to Close the Loop
ERP’s research also reveals a shift in how Irish consumers view technology as refurbished tech grows in popularity.
  • 44% of consumers have bought second-hand or refurbished electronics before (44%).
  • Gen Z are leading the charge, with 3 in 5 (60%) opting for refurbished tech, compared to just 1 in 4 (26%) Baby Boomers.
  • Smartphones top the list of most commonly purchased refurbished items (51%), followed by laptops (26%) and tablets (14%).
  • Quality, price, and warranty matter most to consumers when purchasing refurbished motivators.
  • And tellingly, there’s been a +6% increase in people holding onto old electronics with the intention to repair them in the past year but not getting round to it.
This World Earth Day, ERP is reminding the public that repairing and recycling are both central to ensuring a circular economy in Ireland.
“We need to move away from a throwaway culture – and that starts at home,” continues Burgess. “We’re asking everyone to take a moment to clear out those forgotten items and consider bringing them for repair where possible or taking them to a local recycling centre if needed. Don’t let them gather dust – let them make a difference.”
Free Recycling
This week, ERP Ireland launches its ERP Free Electrical Drop Off Events schedule for 2025 with events announced for Cavan, Clare, Fingal Dublin, Kerry, Meath, and Monaghan. The programme offers householders an accessible central collection point to bring their unused and broken electrical items and used batteries for recycling. ERP Ireland also partnered with Lidl Ireland to offer a series of free household electrical recycling events at some of their stores.

Blast Off and Go Green with ERP’s EcoTrashShip at St. Patrick’s Festival

The European Recycling Platform (ERP), Ireland’s only pan-European compliance scheme for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Waste Batteries continues their Sustainability Partnership with St. Patrick’s Festival, coinciding with their 20th anniversary in Ireland. ERP, in collaboration with artist group FORJA Works, has created a WEEE-inspired installation entitled ‘EcoTrashShip’ that will take festivalgoers on a mission to reduce electrical waste on Earth while reaching for the stars! With research showing that 1 in 3 people are hoarding unused or broken electrical items in their homes, ERP is encouraging everyone to Go Green and Boldy Recycle their electrical waste over the long weekend.
The ERP ‘EcoTrashShip’ is a fun, space-themed installation that stands over 16 feet tall, is fully solar powered, and is composed of more than 100 electrical items, such as TVs, laptops, phones, and cables, which are some of the most frequently recycled electrical items in Ireland. Research conducted by Coyne Research in January 2025 revealed that 1 in 5 (20%)  people in Ireland recycled old TVs in the past 12 months, 1 in 6 (17%) recycled old mobile phones, and 1 in 8 (13%) recycled old laptops. Since the WEEE Directive was launched in Ireland in 2005, ERP has collected almost 220,000 tonnes of WEEE, and 4,500 tonnes of batteries in Ireland – that’s 480 times the weight of the International Space Station!
 
This year’s St. Patrick’s Festival theme, Adventures (Eachtraí), celebrates the adventurous spirit that defines Irish culture. The ERP ‘EcoTrashShip’ aligns with this spirit by blending art and activism, aiming to inspire change and highlights ERP’s commitment to a circular future where nothing goes to waste.
James Burgess, Country General Manager of ERP Ireland said: “What if your old kettle, laptop, or hairdryer became part of a spaceship? When you recycle your electrical waste, these products are broken down, and the materials can be reused. Every wire, chip, and circuit in this spaceship has had a past life— from the gadgets we’ve outgrown to the stars we dream of — the EcoTrashShip is transforming everyday waste into something extraordinary.
 
We are excited to be working with St. Patrick’s Festival again this year to join them on eco-friendly adventure! We hope our EcoTrashShip will inspire the thousands of visitors in Dublin over the weekend to join our mission to Go Green and Boldly Recycle their old and broken electrical items!”
Richard Tierney, CEO of St. Patrick’s Festival said: “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the European Recycling Platform for a second year, building on the success of our collaboration in promoting sustainability. Last year, the Trash Mammoth captured imaginations and sparked vital conversations about responsible recycling. This year, it has evolved into the EcoTrashShip—taking our mission to new heights and inspiring even more communities to embrace sustainable practices. Sustainability remains at the heart of our organisation, and by working with the European Recycling Platform, we can continue leading the way toward a greener future.”
FORJA Works ensure a circular construction process; the spaceship will be disassembled after the weekend and all materials re-purposed for future art projects. This approach transforms discarded technological components into functional and artistic materials, promoting sustainability while addressing the growing challenge of e-waste.
The EcoTrashShip installation will be on display at St. Patrick’s Park, Dublin 8, from the 15th and 16th March, 11:00am to 5:00pm.

AI + Satellite Data: The Tech Solution to America’s Aging Grid Problem

CATALYST is revolutionizing one of Electric Utilities’ biggest operational challenges with the launch of INSIGHTS Vegetation Management, a satellite-based monitoring service that helps reduce outages and enhance reliability by identifying where networks are at greatest risk.

Vegetation is a major cause of power outages and contributes to infrastructure damage and wildfires. As extreme weather events become more frequent, Utilities face increasing challenges in maintaining grid stability. Managing vegetation is costly with major U.S. Utilities spending over $100 million annually. However, this spending can be inefficient – without insights into current vegetation conditions, traditional inspection and pruning programs are forced to revisit areas on fixed cycles rather than prioritizing areas at highest risk. 

A Targeted Approach to Vegetation Risk Management

CATALYST’s INSIGHTS Vegetation Management replaces fixed maintenance schedules with condition-based working informed by regular network-wide intelligence. Its insights enable arborists to optimize operations by focusing inspection and maintenance crews on areas where risk is highest. The solution also provides post-work verification to confirm the effectiveness of completed vegetation management activities. Additionally, it can deliver critical insights into the extent and relative intensity of vegetation damage following extreme weather events.

“INSIGHTS Vegetation Management expands CATALYST’s suite of risk monitoring solutions, equipping Utilities with essential intelligence to improve resilience and operational efficiency,” said June McAlarey, President and CEO of PCI Geomatics, “By leveraging advanced satellite technology, Utilities can actively target vegetation risks, reducing outages and ensuring safer, more reliable service for their customers.”

INSIGHTS combines high-resolution satellite imagery with Utilities’ and environmental data to identify high-risk trees and quantify threats. Unlike black-box AI models, it offers transparent, science-based risk assessments that can be customized to utility needs. 

As a data-as-a-service (DaaS) solution, INSIGHTS integrates with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms and field management tools, providing Utilities with accessible actionable intelligence. Developed through CATALYST’s extensive experience in Earth observation analytics and advanced library of processing algorithms, INSIGHTS Vegetation Management delivers reliable and precise risk assessments tailored to Utility operations.

INSIGHTS Vegetation Management is now available as the latest addition to CATALYST’s wide-area monitoring capabilities that also include INSIGHTS Ground Displacement Monitoring, change detection, and terrain modelling. 

The European Recycling Platform Aims to Banish Unused Cables Snaking Around Irish Homes with St. Patrick’s Festival Partnership

As new research shows that 1 in 3 are hoarding up to 10 unused cables, ERP is encouraging people to go green and recycle this St. Patrick’s Weekend

 

The European Recycling Platform (ERP), Ireland’s only pan-European compliance scheme for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Waste Batteries today announced research results by Coyne Research which revealed that 1 in 3 adults have between 5 to 10 unused electrical cables in their homes. Charging cables are the most common type of unused cables (77%), followed by USB (66%) and HDMI Cables (49%). Almost half of those surveyed keep these unused cables in a drawer in the home.

The research, commissioned by ERP, revealed that over half of all adults surveyed were aware of legislation announced by the European Council, Commission, and Parliament which requires all new smartphones, tablets, cameras, and other electronic gadgets marketed in the EU to have a USB-C charging port by the end of 2024. As this change comes into effect, households will likely have plenty of waste cables snaking around their homes to be recycled.

This St. Patrick’s Day, ERP is encouraging people to go green and banish unused cables from their homes – not by putting them in their domestic waste bins, but by recycling them at their nearest electrical retailer or recycling centre.

ERP Ireland was recently announced as a Sustainability Partner for this year’s St. Patrick’s Festival. As part of their partnership, ERP worked with artist Ned Leddy to create a WEEE inspired installation entitled ‘Trash Mammoth’ to raise awareness among festival goers about the importance of recycling electrical waste. Made from over 100 small electrical items and standing at 13 feet tall, the installation will be on display at St. Patrick’s Festival Quarter at the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks on 16th – 17th March.

Festival Quarter kicks off the Bank Holiday weekend at 12pm on Saturday 16th with a jam-packed family friendly programme of events including craic, ceol, dancing, games, conversation, workshops, food, and all kinds of entertainment for absolutely everybody, before Mother’s Cultúr Club takes over the site on the evening of March 16th for a massive St. Patrick’s Eve party. On March 17th, Festival Quarter will be a huge celebration of Irish culture throughout the day and night and is again completely FREE.

James Burgess, Country General Manager of ERP Ireland said: “We are excited to announce our sustainability partnership with St. Patrick’s Festival and align our purpose with the festival’s commitment to an eco-friendly St. Patrick’s celebration. This St. Patrick’s Weekend, ERP is encouraging everyone to join us in banishing unused cables from their homes and recycling them at their nearest free electrical recycling drop-off point. We believe that through such initiatives and partnerships we can collectively make a positive impact on our environment.”

Richard Tierney, CEO of St. Patrick’s Festival said: “We are delighted to partner with the European Recycling Platform in our shared mission to promote sustainability. Sustainability is one of our core organisational values, and it’s an area where we feel we can really lead from the front on. Partnering with organisations like the European Recycling Platform means we can inspire communities to embrace responsible recycling practices and pave the way for a greener future”.

The Top Features List: Choosing The Perfect ERP Software

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is a platform that allows business owners to manage all aspects of business operations. The program undergoes continuous updates to facilitate daily operations by providing real-time data. ERP systems are common in different industries, including health-care, education, nonprofits, financial services, and utility industries. However, they are typically helpful for large companies with different departments or branches in different locations. The system provides a central source of information from various departments and facilitates daily operations. This piece will discuss a few things business owners should consider to choose a suitable ERP.

Features and Functionality

When buying an ERP system, its modules, features, and functions is the first thing buyers should consider. Modern ERP systems can perform many tasks, but business owners should narrow their options to those optimized for the required functionality. The system should adapt to the businesses’ functions rather than the business adapting to the software functions. Business owners running financial services businesses, for example, should invest in an ERP system that supports accounting processes. It should have a general ledger, accounts receivables, accounts payables, and supply chain features. Therefore, large business owners need to get ERP software with features matching their routine functions. They can do so by comparing the available options and assessing the return on investment they would enjoy from each.

Integration Process

The next important consideration is how well the potential ERP software integrates with other business systems. Even if a business owner invests in an advanced ERP system, it might only enhance business operations if it can receive data from or send it to other software. So business owners who need reports from accounting or marketing departments must choose the ERP software that integrates with the programs used in those departments for easy access to relevant information.

Flexibility and Scalability

Although paying attention to current needs is crucial, future needs should also guide purchase decisions. Therefore, choose a flexible and scalable ERP software with features that adapt to relevant changes as the business expands. A reliable ERP system should support business growth for 5-10 years to avoid downtime associated with implementing new ERP software. An inflexible ERP software might hinder business growth or increase costs since business owners might need to spend more on customization. Therefore, business owners should consider the flexibility and scalability of an ERP system to ensure long-term use.

Vendor’s Reputation and Expertise

Nobody wants to deal with an unreliable software service provider because software challenges could affect business operations. Always pick a vendor with a reputation for providing reliable ERP systems and support. Consider visiting various review websites to determine what others think of a particular vendor. Although it is hard for any vendor to have positive reviews only, many positive reviews indicate that the vendor is reliable. The leading software vendors usually provide 27/7 support and ensure their programs function seamlessly.

Implementation Process and Long-term Costs

Some business owners focus on the current ERP implementation costs and overlook future costs. However, it is advisable to pay attention to the implementation and long-term costs associated with additional support or infrastructure. Remember that high cost does not always translate to high value. This means that business owners should choose affordable ERP systems with only the features they actually need to get value for money and a high return on investment.

ERP systems help manage business operations and enhance efficiency. However, since ERP programs are relatively expensive, business owners should choose one that matches their business needs. These simple considerations in this guide can be useful when choosing an ERP system.
