After a lot of strategic planning, and cross-company meetings related to usability and near-and-far reaching goals, a modern, cloud-based ERP system is in place. While it may seem that congratulations are in order, not so fast…
Modern cloud-based ERP software gives organizations the opportunity to do business better, easing processes and boosting efficiency that leads to growth. Companies can benefit from implementing a system that manages supply chain and logistics activities, including warehouse management, inventory management, and order management (sales and purchase orders) — while also integrating these activities with financial and sales data.
Businesses must make sure they are choosing the right ERP software, but that’s not the only thing to consider — it’s also essential to find the right partner to implement the new cloud-based system. The partner a company selects can be just as important as the technology it runs. This is the first step toward moving to a new solution!
Making the decision to implement a modern ERP system can do a lot to move a company forward in its growth strategy. Today’s competitive business climate requires more focus on enterprise software implementation that tracks metrics such as disruptions in operations and impact on productivity.

Inventory is often a challenge for organizations. While shortages can be damaging and overstock situations can turn costly for product-focused businesses, field services businesses have to manage these while working with much less warehouse space while working with inventory spread across multiple vehicles and locations.
Everest Software (also known as iCode) had its time in the sun. Once considered an innovator in the early 2000s, the company reached its peak in 2004 before it began its decline, culminating in a 2007 acquisition by a “revitalization” firm who specializes in gutting companies and doing just enough support to keep clients paying a maintenance contract. Today, the platform is held together by rubber bands, custom code, and a small network of companies who do what they can to keep it together.
