Many ERP systems force you to change how you work to fit the software. A flexible ERP system does the opposite, because it adapts to your processes. For years, small and mid-sized firms had little choice in this. In this post, we explain how eresource gives you flexibility in setup, buying and support. We also share what to check before you choose.
How the Indian ERP Scenario Has Changed
The ERP market in India is changing fast. For a long time, a few major vendors dominated it.
Their high prices kept many small and mid-sized firms away from the benefits of ERP. However, web-based systems such as eresource have changed that story. Read more about the changing Indian ERP scenario.
A Flexible ERP System Works Your Way
With eresource, you can change, add or remove features to match your needs. So the ERP works the way you want, instead of making you work the way it wants.
Most changes need configuration rather than new code. For example, the Azaalea platform builds custom screens, fields and reports in hours rather than weeks. Each user can also set up their own view, as our post on personalized ERP explains. Still, keep changes to what you truly need. Read why you should not customize your ERP too often.
Clear Guidance Before You Choose
Mid-sized companies have several options within eresource. What their leaders need most is clear guidance to pick the right one.
For this reason, we offer video and live demos for CEOs and finance managers. Our sales team is also ready to advise you before you buy and while you implement the ERP system. Learn more about ERP for midsize companies and what to expect in an ERP demo.
Buy Direct, Not Through a Middleman
In the past, mid-sized firms bought ERP in one of two ways. They bought it directly from the vendor or through a value-added reseller (VAR).
With eresource, you deal with us directly. First, you see a live demo of the modules that matter to you. Then you work with one team from start to finish. For example, see the functional modules of our fleet management ERP.
Flexible Plans and Modules
Flexibility also covers what you buy. You choose only the modules you need today and add more as you grow. Learn more about this modular ERP approach.
You can also run cloud ERP on a monthly plan. That way, you avoid a large upfront spend on servers.
Direct Support and Regular Updates
Some firms worry about support and product updates from a smaller vendor. In fact, eresource releases regular updates and offers strong service support.
Meanwhile, some large vendors serve mid-sized firms only through partners. With eresource, you stay in direct contact with our executives and technical support team. As a result, our team resolves technical and non-technical issues quickly.
