At a Glance
Why do you need a business management system?
(Spoiler: because it makes your business better)
Many businesses start out using Excel spreadsheets and basic accounting and project management software to manage finances and measure performance. But there comes a time in the evolution of any company when basic is no longer enough. As your business grows, you need better visibility across departments, the agility to pivot quickly as conditions change and the insight to make better decisions.
That’s where ERP comes in. ERP systems connect finance, sales, service and operations. They give you the tools, data and consistency to improve financial forecasting, strengthen customer relationships and optimise supply chain and project management.
Traditional ERP systems were built for enterprises. But a new generation of business management systems has been designed specifically for SMEs, giving you sophisticated all-in-one ERP in an affordable and easy-to-use solution.

What are common questions
about ERP for SMEs
-
What is an ERP system?
Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) systems are sophisticated all-in-one business management tools that allow you to run your entire business from a single platform. They connect functions and departments, deliver insights from across teams, and give you the information you need to adapt quickly to changing circumstances and make informed decisions.
-
Should I choose Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or SAP Business One?
Business Central and Business One are both agile, scalable and affordable ERP solutions that have been designed specifically with SMEs in mind. They both offer sophisticated and centralised business management from a single, easy-to-use platform, and both integrate with other systems. But they do have differences that may make one better for your particular business than the other. That’s why Codestone spends significant time on consultation and intelligence gathering – so we can design, implement and support the right solution for you.
-
Isn’t ERP too complex for a small business?
Not at all. All businesses would be better off with greater visibility on performance and easy data flows between functions and departments. All businesses can benefit from more data-driven decision making and the automation of basic workflows. We could go on, but suffice to say that Business Central and Business One are designed to offer effective business management that won’t break the bank.
-
How long does an ERP solution take to install?
That depends on your individual circumstance but with Codestone’s expertise and experience, your ERP solution can be up and running in a matter of weeks.
