What is Odoo ERP, and Why Do SMEs Need It?
Understanding ERP and Its Importance for SMEs
Running a small or medium-sized business (SME) involves juggling multiple tasks—managing sales, inventory, employees, and finances. This can be overwhelming, especially when using different tools for each task. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solves this problem by integrating all business functions into a single system.
What is ERP?
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is a software solution that helps businesses manage their core processes in one place. Instead of using separate systems for accounting, inventory, sales, and HR, ERP brings everything together, improving efficiency and accuracy.
