Free enterprise resource planning / eCommerce ERP systems - review

There you were taken the hurdle of not having to deal further with the hosting and installation of the store system. In this episode, we take you over the financial hurdle and give you info on two free ERP systems.But first, what is an ERP system and what does it do?

What is an ERP system?

A classic enterprise resource planning system is a business software solution for controlling business processes. This means that operational resources such as capital, personnel or means of production are controlled and managed in the best possible way. Probably one of the best known solutions is the software of the German company SAP. But broken down to online retail, this first means centralized data management for your sales channels. And there we speak in the plural for good reason. This means that you have to enter your products into a system once and can use this system as a central functional unit. So for example. transfer the articles from the ERP system to marketplaces. It is then worth taking the time to keep the product data quality high. You then profit from this in the store and on the marketplaces. But not only product management is possible with it, also customer management, invoice management, shipping organization and many other processes.
