As we all know (or should know), SYSPRO ticks more functionality boxes than a Swiss army knife and part of the reason for SYSPRO\u2019s ongoing product success is that it focuses on getting this core functionality right – whilst exposing this same functionality via business objects to allow easy software integration to other systems.<\/p>\n
When a business implements SYSPRO, they often choose to implement other software tools available in the market too, with the aim of enhancing the solution and maximising the business\u2019s return on its investment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The most common and most beneficial of these solutions are the following four software tools that I believe any ERP system needs:<\/p>\n
A Customer Relationship Management System that you can easily integrate too<\/strong>.<\/p>\n When we implement SYSPRO, we often integrate to third party CRM systems such as Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics CRM (both of which are classed as best of breed CRM tools). Some exciting integration development has happened over the last few years, enabling businesses to integrate to these solutions easily. This means businesses can successfully keep customers, activities, opportunities and quotes in sync between Systems.<\/p>\n A Collaboration Workspace that your employees can use to share information.<\/strong><\/p>\n Businesses that want to share procedures, policies and how-to\u2019s generally do so more effectively by investing in a document management system such as Microsoft SharePoint. These tools help increase collaboration between employees by making business information readily available to them.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n A Label Automation Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n Identifying stock and stock locations sounds simple enough, but the number of businesses that still feel that it\u2019s not crucial to produce identification labels on receipt, creation and dispatch of stock is still quite high. Those businesses that have implemented label printing solutions and automated their label generation through SYSPRO\u2019s Triggers and ESignatures have gained a huge increase in stock management accuracy and visibility, have less stock outs, less disappointed customers and make themselves ready to adopt future mobile technologies that use barcodes for activities such as Sales Order Picking, Inventory Movements and Stock Taking.<\/p>\n
