IMPORTANCE OF ERP

 

Enterprise resource planning software is a business management software that helps an organization to collect, store, manage, and interpret data from business activities. Not only does ERP software provide an updated view of core business processes, but also helps in tracking business resources such as raw material, cash, and production capacity.

The widespread growth of Enterprise resource planning shows the importance of ERP to fortunate organizations. When a company expands, the number of data points increases, demand for real-time reporting increases, and new workflows emerge. These changes require full transparency across departments and roles, custom reporting, and deeper insights into business functions—often leading businesses down the path to consider new systems for management, like enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation. Let us dive into a few major reasons why you should consider using an ERP software for your business.

 

IMPORTANCE OF ERP SOFTWARE

Gear

 

1. Enhance Business Reporting

Using a good quality ERP system offers better reporting tools with real-time information. It is  single source of truth – one integrated database for all business processes.

Our ERP solution provides a single environment for gathering and housing data, making it possible to generate reports that clearly show where you’re already efficient and where there’s room for improvement.

 

2.Improve Business Processes

Our system is able to Automate manual or routine tasks as well as Implement smarter workflows   and to ensure that your business is able to gain efficiency as required. The automation of the system will take much of the burden off employees while guaranteeing a solid record of workflow. That frees your most valuable reserve  who are your employees . The advantages of integrating an ERP solution are considerable.

 

3.Cost Savings and Cash flow boost

Incorporating a proper ERP software offers better invoicing and provides better collections tools to bring cash in faster. Faster cash means more cash on-hand for the business. It also improves inventory optimization, offers better procurement administration.

Effective ERP implementation will almost always cut managerial costs. When employees have fewer labor-intensive tasks and processes to weigh them down, they’ll be free to take on more innovative, profitable projects. Not only that, but work flows more effortlessly. Turnaround time decreases and your production capability goes up.

For companies with inventory requirements, ERP solutions create the opportunity for another kind of savings in the form of inventory supervision. An ERP system can help foresee demand for specific materials, decrease overstock, and track real-time supply.

 

4.Computerized Workflow

Human error is unavoidable. It’s also one of the principal efficiency gaps in most organizations and institutions. The more often your business process relies on a human being to re-enter the same data, for instance, the more exposed you are to potential delays and errors.

Automating data flow makes it far less likely that human error will result in missed orders, inventory mishaps or miscommunication. When your business operates like a well-oiled machine, customers get a consistently reliable experience and employee satisfaction gets a boost. The positive properties of both are exponential providers to growth.

 

5.Better customer service:

Catering and responding to customers becomes easier. This is because the ERP software will provide better access to customer information, hence resulting to faster response times.

Efficient ERP software have also been proven to improve order accuracy and makes it easier to deliver goods and services on-time. It enhances and eases service provision to customers and also improves vendor relationship management.

 

6.Improved Inventory Costs:

One is advised to carry only as much inventory as needed, so as to avoid these common issues e.g.,

  • Too much inventory, and higher overhead costs
  • Too little inventory, and longer customer fulfillment times

Such issues affect the distribution chain of every business. However, at Robisearch Ltd. our system is very effective in real-time forecasting and lean inventory as well as reduce production bottlenecks.

 

CHALLENGES OF AN ERP

Requires training and practice

The complexity of ERP software brings additional requirements to the staff who use it. Learning at least the basics of a resource planning system may take considerable time and effort, and requires significantly more to master all its functionality.

Another related drawback is that when experienced users of an ERP system leave the company, the newcomers who fill their positions must spend a varied amount of time to learn it from scratch instead of starting work right away. However, you may facilitate the learning process by providing a sufficient amount of manuals and training programs beforehand.

 

Conclusion

The benefits of having an ERP Software system outweigh its drawbacks. It may take some time to train yourself and your employees but once that hurdle has been jumped, you will be impressed with the amount of workload and time saved with unnecessary issues that could be automated.

BUDGET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN KENYA

 

Most individuals and businesses have funds and resources that they would like use, spend or save, for a variety of reasons. Everybody has the freedom to do so. However, most of us end up wasting funds unknowingly and later on end up with little to no money. This mostly happens because we spent more money than they could make and probably did not keep track of the spending. Therefore, some people decided to come up with a plan that would help them know how they are going to spend their money. This spending plan is what is
known as a budget.
Budgeting is the process of creating a plan to spend your money. Most people do it manually using a bit of math here and there. It works only if one did it correctly and followed strictly. However, trying to account for large sums of money needed and resources available manually became tedious and time consuming. A lot of people would encounter budgeting errors due to miscalculation. This is where a Budget Management System comes in.

money spelled out in blocks

The Budget Management system helps you to plan for your expenses, allocate funds, and budget for other expenditures, then compare them later to see which exceeded and which matched well for the planning of the next budget. This system is very common and we use in various sectors in Kenya, from SMEs, large corporations and even all the way to the National government. Budgeting involves  four major processes, as shown below.

Major Processes involved in Budgeting

  1. Budget Preparation
  2.  Budget Authorization
  3.  Budget Execution
  4.  Budget Accountability

The processes involved in budgeting tend to overlap each other during implementation process.

TYPES OF BUDGETING

Basic Budget – its main purpose is to help map out simple expenses and income. A basic budget can be created in a spreadsheet or using a template and it is great and useful for home and business planning. They are usually easy to use and flexible, as most people use it with ease. It is very useful when you need to map out simple accounting information like personal or business expenses.

Master budget – The purpose of the master budget is to include smaller operation budgets and provide a larger picture of individual income and expenses. It gives a generalized picture of expenses as a whole. A business can utilize a master budget to plan for general expenses and identify expenses at a glance.

Short-term budget – this type of a budget aids enterprises or individuals plan for short term expenses and manage funds in a shorter time span (anywhere from a week to a few months). It provides a more focused look into short-term expenses, income sources and budgeting goals. They are great for clearing short-term debt too.

Fixed Budget – This type of budget controls when income and expenses aren’t expected to change in the short-run. It is very useful in providing a simple picture of fixed income and expenses. It can be used for everyday income and expense tracking especially when you are not expecting any change in either.

Flexible Budget -for planning different levels of activity in incomes or expenses in the short-term or long-term. It offers more flexibility to the budgeting process, planning for varying activity levels in the company’s picture.

It is generally used when one is expecting different volumes for incomes and expenses.

Labour budget – tracking the cost of labour in relation to revenue. It is part of the master budget that focuses only on labour for a more specific view of an individual expense. It is therefore used to track general labour costs or plan for upcoming reductions or increases in labour needs.

Cash Budget – this type of budget is used to plan for cash flow (inflow and outflow) for a specific period of time, usually in the short term. It focuses mainly on cash inflows and outflows for a more specific financial picture. Recommended for use when you are expecting a larger volume in cash flow.

Operational Budget – also known as a functional budget. It applies to one specific operation of a business is part of the master budget. The advantage is that it only applies to a specific department, operation or function of a business, instead of the business as a whole.

It is considered only a good option for when you are overhauling a specific department or operation of a business.

Performance budget – it is designed to analyze the performance or aspect of a business and determine whether the cost is worth the output and result. It focuses on a specific aspect of a business and helps determine if the input is worth the Return of Investments (ROI).

Can be used to identify costly methods of production and determine if certain functions and operations are creating a ROI.

Static budget – Used to account for astatic expenses that won’t change. Allow for a focused look at fixed expenses that remain constant despite fluctuations in sales volume and revenue.

 

Function of a Budget Management System for Businesses.

The Budget management System helps you set up and manage budgets for your business. It becomes very easy to understand how it works once you understand the kind of budget that will help you achieve the goals that you have set.

Furthermore, it also helps you view budgets and even generate a proper budgeting report. With such reports, you can also track budget performance against your actuals using the Profit & Loss Report feature.

Finally, a proper budgeting and accounting system can help you control and reconcile money between your business bank accounts.

At Robisearch Ltd, this feature is integrated in most of our systems as a module. It generally even makes work easier for those in charge of accounting and finance.

Importance of ERP System

What is ERP?

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a collection of integrated software solutions that are used to manage one’s business, company or institution. It is made up of a few basic modules that are essential in running your business eg. Human Resource, Finance, Inventory Management, Purchase Management, Sales Management, CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Manufacturing Management, among others.

ERP

Although it was only for the manufacturing industry before, it has now expanded and is being utilized in various industries and sectors. For instance, ERP systems are now used in retail and wholesale, service, education, real estate, food & beverage, health & even government.

ERP systems helps one manage their employees, manage buying of products or services, selling, distribution, accounting & finances. Integrated ERP software allows organizations from all industries to integrate and manage all of these basic functions. Investing in an ERP software system may seem pricy at first and not understand how it is going to save you any money at all. However, once you decide to implement it, only then will you see & understand how it is an excellent ROI for your business. Allow me to explain why using an ERP system is important for your business, regardless of the size of the business.

Importance of ERP System

  • Improved Collaboration

Cross-departmental collaboration is a very important and crucial part of business. Using an ERP system improves collaboration within the workplace, as it breaks down functional barriers that usually exist between departments.

When organizational/company data is stored in a centralized & consistent ERP, then workers from different departments can retrieve and access data from other departments.

  • Optimizing Efficiency

With ERPs, one can automate repetitive tasks ie tracking inventory, assigning tasks to employees, monitoring working hours, distributing salaries, generating financial reports. It therefore helps by simplifying business processes that take a lot of time and effort when done manually. By automating those complex processes, your employees can focus more on their core deliverables and roles without bugging each other. For example, the marketing team can generate sales-related reports based off web traffic without bugging anyone from the IT team, or the Finance manager can generate sales-related reports without having to interfere with the sales manager.

  • Saving on Operational Costs

With ERPs, most operational activities are automated hence reducing unnecessary interruptions, delays, amount of labour and complex work. This saves time as work is finished more quickly and other breakdowns are anticipated much better.

  • Improving Data Security

Since ERPs are centralized, they come with Firewalls & restriction controls so as to prevent data breaches. Since access points are easy to monitor. The administrators who are responsible for company’s  data can provide limited access rights to employees. Case in point, the HR Manager can limit & hide access to some important data only for themselves and the stakeholders while granting employees permission to view their financial data. They can also quickly and easily deactivate the access of laid-off employees and grant access to the new ones.

ERPs can also show user activity of the employees to the admins so as to identify unauthorized actions or suspicious activity patterns in the system.

  • Better Analytics

The stakeholders and owners of a business or company rely on reports to make predictions & forecasts, which can then affect the decisions they make. A proper ERP system can generate real-time, complete and reliable reports as it uses sophisticated filters and analytics that filter inconsistencies in the data.

Accurate business and corporate reports  generated from the ERP will help stakeholders and business owners make the best decisions for their business.

  • Simpler Resource Management

Along with managing your inventory, ERP also manages manufacturing. ERP provides insight into all manufacturing operations including the shop floor. This enables users to optimize production schedules, equipment and labor to maximize capacity.

Additionally, ERP manages your Bill of Materials (BOM) and fixed assets. With this software, users can easily create and edit BOMs along with keep track of all previous changes. Fixed asset management allows users to schedule equipment maintenance to reduce unexpected downtime, improving your profitability and supply chain relationships.

  • Improved Inventory Management

A significant challenge for growing businesses is monitoring and tracking their expanding stock amounts. ERP uses barcoding, RFID tags, and sequential numbers to keep tabs in your stock at each stage through the distribution chain.

These tools help you keep costs on stock levels at several stores or warehouses, which things have been in transport, and which items are on the shelves, ready to be sold to customers. The greater stock visibility optimizes the selection, pack, and ship procedure significantly, eliminating all of the guesswork.

Inventory tracking also strengthens reporting, as tracking technologies provide more precise numbers. Users may configure customized KPIs to determine which goods move the quickest demonstrating greater need and which raise carrying costs.

Together with the greater accuracy provided by ERP, warehouse supervisors may get real-time information on their stock to make more accurate business decisions.

Conclusion

Basically, an ERP helps your business or organization by automating most of the manual tasks that take a huge chunk of time, energy & resources. Using an ERP also eases communication and access of information across various departments and other personnel, protects company data since it makes it easier to control and track who has access to that information.

The significance of using an ERP outweighs the initial cost, effort and time used in implementing it, if you choose the ideal software solution that fits your business.

At Robisearch, we even offer custom-made features when you choose our ERP system, based on the model and type of your business or organization

If you are not sure of the features you need in an ERP system, don’t hesitate to discuss it with the right ERP solution provider. Robisearch Ltd provides free consultation for those who are looking to implement automated solutions to streamline their business operations.

EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES THAT SAVE YOU MONEY AND TIME IN YOUR BUSINESS MANAGEMENT.

Robipos POS system

Most people love dancing, or at least watching others dance, with salsa being a favorite for many, with one step forward two steps back kind of motion. Unfortunately, this usually the fate and motion most businesses move in. We have all heard of the saying Go big or Go home, but how many of us actually apply it to our business in relation to its growth and vision and access if you are moving forward or backwards? Do you face challenges that make you question the realization of that 10 year vision you have come to be or was it just a dream, a mere fantasy of sorts.

In 2017 it was projected that the Kenyan economy would grow with a GDP of 6.4% with SMEs contributing to 3% of this. However, a  recent National Economic Survey report by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) indicate that SMEs constitute 98 percent of all business in Kenya , creating 30 percent of the jobs annually as well as contribute 3 percent of the GDP.

So what could be the issue leading to this, and what can be done to help the very businesses that make such a big impact in both our GDP growth and that of our employment rate reach their greatest potentials and surpass their 5th and 10th anniversaries.

I would like you to close your eyes for just a moment and picture your business at its peak, having accomplished the goals and vision you have set for it right now. At this moment you are bigger and better and have grown so much investors are sorting after you to partner up and work together. Now everyone can see the vision you had a few years ago coming to life and the potential your company has of going to greater heights. Sounds amazing right? All this possible and will very much come to be a reality dependent on the next steps you take in the critical growth stage of your business and here are the secrets that ensure your business gets there.

Ever heard of the POS/point of sale system? Of course you have, its one of the technologies that have revolutionized the retail and wholesale world. This software has raised the bar up for the SMEs increasing their chances of growth and success in the future.

Let me give you a brief highlight of what you are missing out if you dint already have this system that helps you manage your sales stock and expenses with ease already.

1.POS Includes an Over All Inventory Management System

Stock management is critical for any business to grow and failure to manage it can be catastrophic for any business. Below are some of the amazing benefits of POS to your business.

  • Stock management at ease

With traditional register, staffs have to physically view inventory while POS support them to automate checking stock on computer or you to check on your phone. Even any adjustment happened, staffs don’t have to check it manually but through a glance at the screen saving you time controlling stock for your business.

Best POS in Kenya

  • Sends you alerts of low stock:

The beauty of this is that you can set in the system, in that it sends you alerts every time stock is below the set amount so that you never find yourself in a position where you do not have stock and have to disappoint and tell them you are customers you are out of that product.

Furthermore, POS can track the biggest sellers and re-order those products when the stock gets low.

  • Alerts you of the expiring stock before time

The system is set in that it gives your warning of goods that are about to expire long before the expire as to avoid loss of profit to when they expire in your possession

  • See Real-time Inventory Update

POS has this function while traditional one can’t do this. It will eliminate a costly hand count and time-consuming steps plus allow you to make better strategic financial decisions for your business’s future.

  • View your sales and stock from anywhere

With a cloud based POS system you can be able to view your sales and stock from anywhere you are using your phone as the system can be linked to it. This really comes in handy to increase accountability of your staff and prevent theft and irregularities that lead to misunderstandings later on.

2.  Faster Service than Traditional Cash Register

Instead of manually complete all checkout steps for customers, staffs now can use POS System integrated with other devices such as barcode scanner, Lipa na M-Pesa real time, printer and so on. They work well together, automatically and precisely.  Therefore, it helps staffs reduce time-serving per transaction by completing payment procedure faster.

3.  Simply Accounting Process

Old fashioned cash registers force you to hire accountants to sort through hundreds of receipts. However, POS will create and record its own once in the system for easier checking later.

4.  Cut Down on Users Errors

By minimizing manual steps and times of re-entering data, POS can cut down on users’ errors.

5.   Look Up Transaction in Past Easier

For example, if staffs wanted to know how much they had sold the day before or if a client wanted to return a certain good they bought, POS could give detailed information in a snap while traditional register took many hours of laborious work to find out the same answer.

6.  Use POS to Create elegant Purchase Order and invoice, Eliminating Extra Steps

When using POS, it’s quicker and more convenient to know when your store should create Order Purchase. Then, it makes sure that you never run out of hottest selling products. As well as generating amazing and elegant invoices for you clients.

7.   Easier Tracking Staff Actions

Maybe you should know that POS System records any actions of staffs for later checking and staff payroll. Individual staff is linked to the specific transaction. Therefore, POS supports managers to identify a single individual with weak and strong sales figures. Thus, a spirit of healthy competition will be fostered well in your business

8.  Provide complete & precise sales reports

By implementing a POS system, you can generate complete and accurate sales reports. The reports generated include; the number of products sold, bestselling product, profit margins, and many more. Through the system, you can minimize human errors that usually occur when entering sales data, so the resulting data is completely accurate

9.  Maintain Price Consistency

If your business owns multiple branches in different locations, the problem of keep price consistency is worth considering. And POS, with its functions, could access to digital product database to amend products’ price as well as automatically apply across all business locations.
