ERP system for the real estate industry: making the most of SAP® solutions with PROMOS.GT and PROMOS.GT ready2
Efficiently controlling complex workflows can be a major challenge for companies if they don’t use state-of-the-art digital technology. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems combine all business processes in a single, integrated system. They therefore play a major role for modern real estate companies wanting to advance their business in the digital world. There are solutions for the real estate industry that can be used to tailor ERP systems specifically to the requirements of the sector: PROMOS.GT and PROMOS.GT ready2. But what is an ERP system and what advantages does it offer? We answer these questions and many more here!
Simply put, what is an ERP system?
An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is a software solution that helps companies to organise and automate their various business processes. These processes can include areas such as accounting, warehouse management, sales, purchasing and human resources. The ERP system makes it possible to integrate all these processes into a single, centralised system, thus greatly improving data consistency and process efficiency.
What are some examples of well-known ERP systems?
ERP systems support companies in the integrated management of their business processes. One outstanding solution is SAP S/4HANA®; SAP’s integrated ERP suite offers comprehensive functions in finance, procurement, production and more. It is particularly known for its real-time analyses and forecasting capabilities. Other companies also offer ERP systems, including Oracle (Oracle ERP Cloud) and Microsoft (Microsoft Dynamics 365).
The systems help companies to optimise their business processes, become more efficient and make sound decisions based on the best possible foundations. There is a large range to choose from. All have their specific advantages and are particularly suitable for certain applications. Companies should choose the ERP solution best suited to their specific needs. Given the variety of solutions available, this is no easy task, so having an experienced partner at your side can be a great help. Professional advice can help any company to find the ideal ERP system for its own individual requirements and needs.
When do I need an ERP system?
A company should consider an ERP system if it:
- has plans for growth: As a company grows, its business processes become more complex. An ERP system makes it easier to manage this change by automating processes and providing data in real time.
- wants to increase efficiency: Companies wanting to optimise their workflows and increase efficiency will find ERP systems to be a valuable solution.
- needs real-time data for decision-making: An ERP system makes it possible to collect and analyse data in real time, thus enabling users to make informed business decisions.
- wants to ensure data consistency: Integrating all business processes into a single system ensures that the data is consistent and reliable, which in turn improves the accuracy of reports and analyses.
