Core ERP features for retail
Customer relationship management
We integrate retail ERP into your established software infrastructure and facilitate real-time data exchange between the systems, making the ERP solution a single source of truth for your business. We use available APIs and integration tools or develop custom connectors to tie ERP software with the following systems:
To supervise your ecommerce ecosystem and promote your sales channel strategies.
To amplify ERP's built-in analytical features and foster data-driven decision making.
To automate routine marketing workflows, such as email campaigns and lead qualification.
To fast-track day-to-day HR processes, assess employee performance, and optimize staff allocation.
To harmonize your order, warehouse, and inventory management operations across multiple retail stores.
To monitor asset conditions and equipment operation in real time via sensors and cameras.
To support personalized customer journeys and identify upselling and cross-selling opportunities.
To speed up transaction processing, gather sales data, and adjust product restocking.

Cost overruns are not uncommon in ERP adoption, but you can mitigate this risk through careful budgeting. Don't overlook the costs of staff training, software licensing, customization, and other expenses you may incur after the release.

Recommendation
After defining your software requirements and shortlisting suitable retail ERP vendors based on their offer, ask them for POCs and demos, clarify their TCO, and don't underestimate negotiations, as they may result in remarkable savings.

Recommendation
Ensuring top management's commitment and overcoming your staff's hesitation can be facilitated by highlighting early ERP adoption successes, involving end-users in the planning phase, and promoting effective training initiatives.
Concern
Recommendation
While implementing a full array of ERP modules into your workflow represents the best option to save time and money, a phased adoption may be a good choice for companies with established business processes and a conservative corporate culture.
