As businesses progress beyond the startup phase, ERP adoption becomes integral, yet disjointed solutions persist, even within an ERP-inclusive architecture, often centered on financial reporting and basic transactions. Streamlining ad-hoc processes and unique data models from the earlier stage is essential to avoid financial challenges at the next inflection point, especially with the expansion of departments leading to overlapping responsibilities. The importance of batch capabilities becomes apparent, addressing increased workload from reconciling disconnected data silos and managing ad-hoc processes, prompting a closer look at process re-engineering and tightly integrated processes, particularly in inventory management. The tactical perspective of executives, guided by current priorities and immediate needs, raises the question of which ERP systems best suit smaller businesses at this transitional stage.
