What is an ERP ?
It is a software for companies, associations, freelancers, liberal professions, auto-entrepreneurs and many others. It means managing day-to-day activities such as accounting, procurement, project management and the complete supply chain.
ERP systems connect a multitude of business processes and enable the flow of data between them. This ensures data integrity with a single source of information. One of the key principles of ERP is the collection, the control of data with a view to distributing it. ERP is the way to integrate people, processes and technologies in any activity.
Features :
- The founding principle of an ERP is to build computer applications such as accounting, inventory management... This in a modular way while sharing a single and common database.
- The second principle is the systematic use of what is called a workflow. This makes it possible, when data has entered the device, to propagate it to all the modules that need it. For this it is necessary to make a definite programming.
- An ERP must be oriented according to the user's profession. An ERP forms the core module while a trading company further develops inventory management and logistics. There are always customer relations modules or financial modules.
- An ERP is the brain of any activity, allowing global and simplified management. The choice of software and integration are paramount.
- The ERP must be personalized to the activity.
The four components of ERP are :
- A table of products with nomenclatures, ranges, raw materials, production capacities, quantities.
- customers and suppliers.
- Stocks, retention periods, delivery times of carriers.
- This is supplemented by tables relating to the financial aspects.
The two fundamental dimensions are :
- The DI (degree of integration). It is the ability to provide all of the company's players with a single, integrated, coherent and homogeneous image of the information. It means having all the useful information for all the needs of everyone in the company.
- The OC (operational coverage). It is the ability to federate all of the company's processes in each of the areas. All in a transversal approach that optimizes productivity.
The implementation is always a rather difficult period to live and the human aspects are priority. An open, transparent and sincere attitude is essential. In the same way as the recognition of its limits and its professional capacities.
The advantages of an ERP :
- A better understanding of the company (sharing, consistency, homogeneity).
- Lower operational costs (business processes and best practices).
- Stronger collaboration.
- A consistent infrastructure and better scalability.
- Globalization of training.
- Reduced management and operating costs.
What is a CRM ?
It is to establish a relational strategy by encouraging the search for customer satisfaction in close relationship with the aim of improving overall performance.
It's about building relationships that increase the value of the customer base. This very largely conditions the value of the company over time.
Some customers are more important and it is necessary to focus more on them. It is an essential characteristic of the relational company.
The use of a CRM is recommended from the start of an activity. Prospecting and building loyalty are two essential objectives for any activity. The CRM brings together in the same place each customer, member... each lead and each request.
CRM makes it possible to move from transactional management to relational management. It's putting the client back in his place. It means getting to know everyone for a lasting relationship and offering them an appropriate offer.
The CRM is to consider all the actors (partners, collaborators, suppliers, customers..), all those who deal with the activity thus have the same relations.
You can have recourse to the development of information and communication technologies (NTIC). The individualized dialogue and the multi-channel is essential in the management of the customers. These are e-mail-SMS-postal invitation-social networks...
The centrality of the customer capable of creating an individualized value offer, without betraying the identity of the company, its brand image and its priority markets.
Human Relations management is oriented towards employee satisfaction, which is closely linked to customer satisfaction.
The benefits of CRM :
- It is to write the values and the norms.
- Appoint people who propagate the culture to the appropriate positions.
- Communicate internally with ease.
- Relationship management is a long-term perspective.
- It's managing the customer's lifetime value, ie the value of purchases over the customer's lifetime.
