Practical ERP Integration Case Studies

Integrate Your ERP with People, Applications & Devices 


by: Tyler Bonner

Businesses today, in our highly advanced technological environment, rely on multiple software systems to execute daily tasks.  Over time your businesses may find that it becomes more difficult and time consuming to process data between multiple software programs; one software component doesn’t "work well" with another and thus, making the two programs get along is a task in and of itself outside the business. This leads to the problem many companies face today of multi-software system integration.

The Integrated ERP System

Innately, when a business has many programs to go utilize for a simple task, they desire a one-stop place to do it all. Businesses want a software system that will combine all their programs into one place in which they can conduct their business faster and more effectively. The solution to a multi-software system business is, of course, an integrated ERP system that integrates all these programs into one – consolidation. Technology advancements have made this possible for many businesses.

ERP users have found the benefits of an integrated ERP software system in their package tracking. TEKOA is an integrated ERP software approach that allows shipping companies the opportunity to easily create shipping labels, enter shipping information, schedule shipments, track shipments and other ancillary shipping necessities.  No more flipping between programs to complete the process of shipping a package; it’s all available in one spot for software users.

Relevance: The Real World of ERP and Point of Sale Systems

The retail business is full of data: sales, inventory, orders, customer lists, etc. Therefore, it is intuitive that a highly successful retail business would need an integrated software system to keep track of all the data. One software package used by businesses is TEKOA ERP Software.  Businesses have discovered the benefits that technology can posses to allow them to track and maintain data necessary for the operations of the business. This software system has even allowed some businesses to enter easily into the ecommerce area. The benefits to an integrated ERP software system are limitless for a company.

Relevance: The Real World of ERP and Serialized Inventory Tracking

A technology service provider company found it necessary in their business to track codes for serial numbers on products but, this required sifting through many data fields. The company implemented an integrated TEKOA software product to create an inventory and retrieve codes faster than others. This integrated approach cut back not only on time, but monetary expense for the company in general.

In summary, pulling the pieces of software that run today's enterprise together with ERP integration software is one way to maximize efficiency and reduce costs at an organization.  Building data relationships with other systems maximizes the benefits of ERP software.

As stated, the purchase order is a vital part of the business' productivity. It governs how much material the company is taking in for the manufacturing of their product.
