Business units aren’t communicating with each other

When business units aren’t communicating it can lead to problems like the following:

The CRM system used by your sales and customer support team is not linked with the accounting system/department. The sales team sells more products even though the account has been put on hold due to late or non-payment, but the sales team does not know this and cannot understand why the account is frozen. It takes too long to communicate between the different departments and by the time a resolution has been reached, you have lost the sale and gained an angry customer.

iPlan helps to create business processes and implement ERP software that eliminates these and similar problems. Business departments aren’t siloed anymore and the information is transparent and easily accessible across departments so questions can be answered and important updates shared immediately.

We’ve had a system for years and we know it

Often a single-site business that grew organically has a business system that is a mismatch of spreadsheets located on the manager’s personal computers with a standalone financial system, a stock system not talking to anything else, a shared drive on a computer in sales holding quotes, sales orders and rescheduling promises. When the business was smaller, this worked well enough, but with a larger business and more staff, the business becomes siloed and sticking to the ‘this is how we’ve always done it’ mentality hurts more than it helps.

iPlan works with your business and with your people to ensure we understand the business and exactly what it needs. The processes we plan, build, and implement is done with your people to ensure it truly meets their needs and gets the most out of your employees’ expertise and time.

Static data

Does this sound familiar: you have stock of what you do not sell but no stock of what you are selling? When business systems aren’t linked and not live, this is something that can happen. The stock on hand in the static system doesn’t correlate to the actual stock in the warehouse, errors occur, and customer relations becomes threatened when you notice it all too late. What’s more, the finance department cannot make timeous decisions to save on unnecessary expenses or proactively advise on where you can generate more income simply because all the data is static.

iPlan ensures that data is live, and the most pertinent data is shared instantly among departments to be used when decisions need to be made. We ensure that you have the best ERP system to meet these requirements in your business.

We can’t afford a new system now

In the boom years of Business Systems, only large organisations could afford the so-called “wall-to-wall” systems with a full range of functionality. Medium-sized companies had to buy less expensive solutions by looking for something specific to their industry and having to accept much less breadth and depth of functionality. These Business Systems were simply not sufficient.

Cloud systems delivered as Software-as-a-Service changed all that. Cloud services are competitors to the all-embracing big systems of the past, with all the rich functionality, yet they are priced as a subscription model. A fee is paid to access the software online instead of buying it and installing it locally. Your subscription is increased if you use more and decreased when you use fewer features. You stop your subscription when you do not use the Business System at all.

No huge IT department is needed. You just need a stable internet connection, and you can access your business system by phone, tablet, laptop or other devices

Don’t take our word for it… listen to our clients

“Our relationship with iPlan started in 2017 when they assisted us with developing a Common Vision Business Process Blueprint for our operations in the US (principal sales organization and Global management) and the Philippines (principal manufacturing organization) with respect to the implementation of our Global ERP system on Microsoft Dynamics 365. We required significant support from iPlan as we did not have system development and implementation experience within our organization. We also required a strong disciplined project management support team. iPlan met both of these needs. Additionally, at iPlan’s encouragement, we have monthly Steering Committee update meetings/calls to discuss progress, address issues, and develop suggestions for continued success.
