Colombia. Small and medium-sized companies find in information technology the possibility of better structuring their businesses, in order to grow and become more competitive in their market of action. One of the essential tools for an SME to stay in the market is the use of ERPs (Enterprise Resourcing Planning or Integrated Business Management Systems).
André Bretas, Director of Small Business at TOTVS, lists below four reasons for a small or medium-sized company to invest in the adoption of software and have an integrated view of the management of its business:
- Excellence in financial management: The system helps to keep the company's finances under control in an organized way. The accounts are settled within the deadline, avoiding penalties and interest, in addition to also allowing to manage the accounts to be received, keeping the cash flow up to date.
- Stock optimization: One of the great secrets of a good business for small organizations, regardless of the segment in which they operate, is the efficient control of their stock. To grow, it is essential to know the available quantity of products in stock, the need for replenishment and production planning to reduce costs, among other processes.
- End rework: Companies that choose to use an integrated management system minimize the work of re-typing the same information in different files, for example, which decreases the chances of making mistakes.
- Have more information in your hands: In addition to data on stocks and products, the use of ERP can offer information about customers (complaints and praise about the services or products offered), employees and even data on raw materials.
"Technology is the foundation for small and medium-sized companies to grow sustainably. These companies have a fundamental role in the growth of the economy and society of the whole country. Those who invest in professional management will certainly have more opportunities to compete and grow in the market in which they operate," says Bretas.
