ERPs are full of detailed insight that you should know about before marketing your product. An ERP system can help you identify key areas you might have overlooked and can help multiple departments across your business. When it comes to cloud-based ERP systems, you have data coming in from numerous departments into one central software system. Data from departments such as accounting, manufacturing, supply chain, sales and human resources (HR) feed into one central location.
Armed with valuable ERP data, you’ll blow away your customers with the amount of information you know about their business needs. This detail can be used when interacting with customers over the phone, during in-person meetings, regular emails, and other forms of communication you might have. All these examples listed will show your customers that you take their experience with your brand very seriously and that your company is willing to go above and beyond to make them feel special.
