ERP - now there’s a software acronym you don’t hear every day. Exactly what is ERP software, you ask? ERP stands for “Enterprise Resource Planning.” ERP software is a system that allows medium-to-large businesses to automate their distributionial, financial, human resource, manufacturing, marketing, sales, and project management functions. Whew, that’s a lot!

With a focus on accounting, ERP software systems allow companies to plan and identify which resources are necessary to fulfill customer responsibilities. These systems typically employ a relational database to provide control over inventory and to deliver customer service functions, including order tracking.

That’s a pretty tall order…
