What is ERP?
If you run a wholesale, distribution, or retail business in Ireland, you’ve probably come across the term ERP. But what exactly is it — and why are more and more Irish businesses turning to it to simplify operations, reduce costs, and fuel growth?
Let’s break it down in plain English.
What is ERP?
ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. It’s a type of business management software that brings all your core processes into one connected system.
That includes:
Stock and Inventory Management
Sales and Customer Orders
Purchasing and Supplier Management
Accounts and Finance
Reporting and Business Insights
In short, ERP connects your warehouse, sales, shop floor, and accounts in one streamlined platform — helping you run your business more efficiently.
