Acumatica ERP: Solving Common Scaling Issues

When scaling your business, there are many challenges to face, from forecasting resources to figuring out how not to drain your bank account when setting up new branches. Acumatica ERP is designed to help small and mid-sized businesses grow, so it's designed to minimize growing pains.

What are some of the best ways to boost scaling efforts? First, focus on fixing what’s broken. Properly implementing an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, can help an organization to follow the right processes at scale. When many processes are not working efficiently in a company, you simply have to address each part separately before moving on to the next one. Implementing ERP in a sustainable way — fitting it to ideal business processes — forces a business to get the details right. An ERP system's dashboards and reports should unearth data that helps mangers and leaders quickly identify problem areas.

Research shows that making things easy for customers is crucial for maintaining loyalty. One of the key factors to getting customer service right requires you having customer data at your fingertips. An ERP system should have a reliable, easy-to-use customer relationship management (CRM) system that allows you to do just that.​ Scaling up can be tricky, but having the right tools to make the process more efficient will help. Be prepared before you start scaling, and the rewards can be tremendous.
