In manufacturing, busy is good…right?!

Stop the insanity! It’s time to regain control and drive business growth.

Posted By: Zantek

Busy is good....right?!Busy is great – in almost any type of business – if you are full-throttle exploring new products, markets, and suppliers. If, however, you’re drowning in the details of day-to-day operations…well…that’s just frustrating.

It’s almost impossible to think strategically when you spend most of your day correcting mistakes, chasing down information, and getting people back on track. You’re not alone though. Most thriving businesses outgrow their software and systems – and that means spending a lot of time dealing with the fallout from disconnected programs.

By the numbers

Challenges for growing businesses without a single system:

  • 83% - systems cannot interact
  • 89% - systems cannot track business processes
  • 83% - inaccurate data
  • 78% - redundant data
  • 72% - inability to access data while away from the office

Reasons growing businesses choose ERP over point solutions or stand-alone accounting solutions:

  • 37% - Need for collaboration
  • 29% - Need a scalable application
  • 24% - have a dated technology infrastructure
