How enterprise resource planning works

The functionality of an ERP system is based on the integration and automation of various business processes within a company. ERP software consists of several modules (also known as “building blocks”), each of which covers a process within a company (finance, human resources, logistics, etc.). Each company uses exactly the modules it needs.

In contrast to rigid modular systems, the individually configurable Nuclos ERP system can precisely map the respective processes within a company. The customized modules are created with the help of existing tools. When using Nuclos, modules can be added, changed or removed as required, even if requirements change in the future.

All modules are linked to each other and have a common, central database. All relevant information is stored there. In addition, reports can be created on the basis of which processes can be analyzed. This analysis enables companies to make well-founded decisions, optimize processes and use resources more efficiently. Central data storage also ensures data integrity and avoids redundant data maintenance, resulting in higher data quality and time savings. Integrated workflow management functions support the automation of business processes, while a user-friendly interface facilitates access and operation for users. The functionality of an ERP system therefore enables companies to consolidate data and automate processes.

Important functions and advantages of an ERP system

  1. Modular structure: ERP software consists of several modules that cover different business areas. Companies can have exactly the modules they need configured, allowing the system to be adapted to their specific requirements.
  2. Central database: All modules are linked to each other and access a shared, central database. This enables the exchange of information in real time. All relevant information is stored centrally, which ensures a uniform and consistent database.
  3. Automation: ERP systems automate many manual processes, reducing errors and increasing efficiency.
  4. Workflows: Integrated workflow management functions support the automation of business processes and ensure smooth workflows.
  5. Reports: ERP systems offer extensive reporting functions that make it possible to create detailed reports and analyses.
  6. Decision support: Reports help management to make informed decisions by providing insights into company performance and business processes.
  7. Customizability: ERP systems such as Nuclos can be individually configured to map a company’s specific business processes.
  8. Scalability: As business requirements change, modules can be added, adapted or removed as required in order to grow with the company.
  9. User-friendliness: ERP systems such as Nuclos have a user-friendly interface that makes it easier for users to access and operate.
  10. Improved communication: The central database and the integration of the various modules improve collaboration and communication between departments.
