Risk management is a vital component of any business, no matter the industry. Every organization has numerous moving parts and calculated risk factors that can make or break a company. One approach to reducing some of an organization’s risk is with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
In addition to other operational efficiencies and data liquidity ERPs can offer, they also can reduce risk in numerous ways.
ERPS are systems that gather and organize crucial business information to streamline operations and reporting within an organization. This software manages numerous daily activities while delivering insights derived from various operational systems in a central database, that can help decision-makers implement process improvements to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.
There are four key ways ERPs decrease business risks for companies:
Perhaps the oldest and most common risk in the book is human error. Even the most skilled employees are prone to the occasional slip-up, which can impact revenue, brand image and customer experiences.
ERP software can reduce the risk of human-made mistakes with automation capabilities that remove the need for manual effort in numerous business procedures. With all your key information stored on one innovative platform, ERPs can take over repetitive everyday tasks with precision and accuracy so your staff can focus on driving other important objectives.
Your volume and quality of data considerably impact company decision-making. ERP software helps companies improve decision-making by aggregating business information into a single source. With all data compiled in one place, organizations can better leverage predictive analytics and intelligence applications for more accurate calculation and forecasting and ultimately more informed decision-making.
Whether due to regulatory requirements or your organization’s own internal controls, an ERP can provide enablement and protection in order to ensure your internal controls and processes are followed.
ERPs reduce the risk of non-compliance and even fraud by leveraging best practices and providing solutions and tools to ensure your organization is compliant with regulations and internal controls reducing the risk of financial penalties or suspension.
Another way ERPs decrease business risks is by improving supply chain management by delivering accurate insights on processes and potential disruptions. These systems evaluate supplier performance and provide an easier means of supplier negotiation, ultimately giving firms a better awareness of production schedules and supplier variables that can impact efficiency.
