SMEs (small, medium-sized enterprises) face many challenges when it comes to competing on the global stage. Your software, however, shouldn’t be one of them. With Sage software, you can close the gap between your small or mid-sized business and the "big guys" competing on the global stage. Enhanced productivity, profitability, and cost management can all work to your advantage to make your business more competitive against others.
When you think of a small or medium-sized business and compare it to a large corporation, which do you think has the bigger advantage?
Many people assume that large companies wield greater competitive advantages. While it is true that big companies can produce higher volumes, more doesn’t necessarily equate to better. And yes, big companies can negotiate with vendors for better rates, but smaller companies have the advantage of being able to adjust production quickly to meet changes in demands and customer needs.
Enterprise resource planning software provides business data and insights to SMEs that were once only the purview of big businesses. Newer Sage software products enable even the smallest manufacturer to harness the power of a robust ERP program like Sage 300 ERP or other Sage ERP products. These software packages enable you to make better decisions around your inventory, production costs, sales, marketing and more.
Accurate, real-time data from your ERP system can be used to adjust production schedules to meet consumer demand, avoid excessive inventory, enhance relationships with suppliers and vendors, and more. With the right software, your business can compete on an even playing field with the "big guys" around the world.
There are some recommendations for SMEs as they begin exploring new ERP software systems for their businesses. Here are a few that can help you choose the right software for your needs:
Nearly every company in the world began as a small business.
