2. Our philosophy of ERP
Internet has completely changed the way of doing business. Markets that have been for so long the “private ground” of big businesses, are now seeing new small
players tackling them.
There is no difference between a small retail company with 20 employees than with a much bigger one. They both has to buy, manage their stock, edit invoices,
enter posting.
The only thing that distinguish them is how do they manage their resources?
In most small and medium sized companies, we will see a lot of different softwares cohabiting, usually one for accounts, another one for sales and purchases,
another one for logistics. Whereas in bigger ones you will see a single software being used to manage all the different cost centres.
This is very comprehensible why small and medium sized firms use different applications to handle their business.
The answer is the lack of resources, financial resources and human resources.
For so long, ERP has been “reserved” for the “big cats”, because they had the money and the human capital to implement an Enterprise Resource Planning.
But tables have turned. New ERP editors mainly Opensource editors, such as Openbravo are challenging those who once targeted big companies. Those new
challengers are targeting all sizes companies.
Those “low cost” ERP editors have nothing to envy to the old ones. Their product has a large functional footprint and the price is very attractive, because choices
are given on how you want to acquire the software, it could be to pay as you go, on demand, Saas.
Having one information system, means having one single data base, so less time is been spent in entering, updating data. There is no data duplication, the
information flow is much smoother between services, and collaborators have access to the information in one single point, less errors occurs.

Though Openbravo is a low cost open source ERP, the application itself has a large functional footprint with a powerful interface. Low cost
doesn’t necessary mean low quality.

your business and not on implementing the ERP, you do not need IT professionals, so, save money and time

hide, you’ve got nothing to fear.
