The dilemma of growing companies and its solution
Founding and successful startup phase
In the early phases of the company, separate systems are usually gradually acquired for special departments such as financial accounting, customer relationship management (CRM), project management, project accounting, personnel management, etc. Each of these systems works well on its own.
Growth leads to increasing complexity
As the number of systems and teams in the company grows, a lot of interfaces are created. Each of these interfaces means additional work and increasing complexity and thus becomes a source of errors. At the same time, it is becoming more and more difficult to keep track of all important data.
Shrinking profits despite increasing sales
The company, which was initially highly profitable and successful, is now having difficulties in even remaining in the black. The growing complexity of the systems and interfaces demotivates the employees. Errors are piling up and processes take longer than before. The customers are starting to feel that too.
Back to the black with a central ERP system
Time to put the company on the road to success with SAP Business ByDesign. All master and transaction data are stored centrally. Processes run as fast as before and employees can concentrate on their core tasks. The company is finally back in the black!
