The ERP is the backbone of the management tools in a company. The acronym ERP corresponds to Enterprise Resource Planning, which can be translated as Business Resource Planner and tries to integrate in a single tool all the necessary information for the correct management of the company.
Until not long ago, only large companies could consider the implementation of an ERP, due to its high price and the demands of time and personnel required for its implementation, but today there are solutions within reach of any project and even freelancers who work alone they are taking advantage of the use of an ERP at the time of taking the management of a company.
Because if in any company it is always important to save time and be efficient, more is when you work alone and have to do everything. Any time saving we achieve quickly translates into greater efficiency.
Many times the business projects start with tools of a very limited power, sufficient for a first time, but that are clearly showing insufficient as the company grows, the complexity of the business increases and more staff is incorporated.
Then comes the dreaded moment of change of management tool, a painful moment that many companies have gone through, which is often known when it starts but not when it ends, which ends up desperate for the different departments of the company, in which problems arise, monopolizing the resources of the IT department to such an extent that all other projects, many of them vital for the normal growth of the company, are postponed ... if you have gone through a change of ERP in your company, you know what I'm talking about
Choosing the ERP that we are going to change because the company has grown is a transcendental decision, because it often involves a long-term marriage and involves the dedication of important resources both in terms of time and personnel.
And one of the problems encountered by companies is that during the process of change, which sometimes lasts for months or years, are at the cross between several tools: the ERP or management program that was used until then and the new , which still does not cover all the processes of the company. They can not stop using the old one and they can not use the new one for everything. As you can imagine, this causes imbalances, problems, procedural errors, delays in customer service and many other problems.
But luckily there is a tool that is revolutionizing the decision making in companies, called QlikView, which allows to create dashboards for business analysis very quickly and at a much lower cost than other Business Intelligence tools. And in this scenario of change of ERP can help to greatly smooth the transition process, preventing the change of ERP adversely affect the operation of the company.
One of the features of QlikView is that it is capable of integrating data from different sources. Thus, it can show us in a single dashboard data of the management program that the company has used so far and also data of the new one, so there is no break in the analysis of the information.
With its great flexibility and analysis power, QlikView allows searches in real time for any aspect that interests us (markets, customers, commercials, products, dates, delegations ...) without having created those reports in each of the applications and without have to manually extract data to Excel for interpretation through complex formulas (scenario in which there is always the possibility of making an error and making strategic decisions based on erroneous data).
It is also capable of integrating real-time data captured automatically from the Internet, such as the price of raw materials or salary costs, for example, to be able to do all kinds of scenarios. For example, can we calculate customer to customer profitability in the event of a price increase of a raw material we have to use? Or family to family of product, or by any other parameter that we want to analyze.
Having this tool as QlikView not only saves the company huge amounts of time. It allows us to anticipate events and take action very quickly since we have the possibility to analyze any area of the company without depending on someone preparing reports or lists
