Finding the right software to accomplish a task can be time-consuming and frustrating. When you need a new tool, the process typically begins with an online search for options and asking around for recommendations. This initial step is often overwhelming, given the vast array of choices available in today's digital marketplace.
When looking for ERPs, it's even more complex, since it involves multiple departments within your organization, each with its own needs and requirements. The process usually starts with searching for similar companies: which software do they use? How was the implementation process? How long did it take? How much did it cost? So many questions! The next step is requesting demos and trying to determine if the software is really the right fit for your needs.
However, the truth about software demos is that they often gloss over the hidden steps involved. A quote can be generated within seconds, or your production can be scheduled with just a few clicks, but what about the setup process? In order to achieve your dreamed stage of quick quotes and easy forecasting and planning, you need to record information about your product, process, customer, etc. These are time-consuming tasks necessary to accomplish those fantastic single-click operations. As a result, you purchase the software, but you never achieve the dreamed outcome of quick tasks. Implementation takes months, training is ongoing, and the software that was supposed to simplify everything now requires you to hire additional employees to handle so much data entry.
What about those successful cases you heard about? Organizations that were able to improve performance and have easy inputs? They don’t usually share how much they invested into customization or the time they spent preparing for the new ERP. These are key factors to a successful implementation, and they are usually ignored. Even in these cases, a lot of tasks are still performed outside of the system to make everything work well.
Many of the above issues arise during ERP implementations, and over 75% of ERP implementations fail as a result of these complex and costly processes. You might be thinking, is there something else? We at Nengatu believe there is. That's why we're committed to transparency and hands-on experience and offering a 3-month free trial for early adopters of our ERP. There's nothing better than a test drive to truly understand how your daily tasks can be accomplished after getting familiar with the interface and learning how to use the features of a software program. Take advantage of demonstrations and training, but ultimately, you get to test them out for yourself.
A free trial is a limited version of the ERP, but it can provide you with a real sense of how it works. Here is what you can test:
Human Resources
The ERP allows you to manage your employees and grant them access to the system. Although there is no limit to how many users (employees) you can have, there is a limit on how many can access the ERP simultaneously.
CRM
Your list of contacts can be expanded and modified over time by adding customers and vendors. Using the centralized CRM, you will be able to add many useful pieces of information that can be used on all other modules as well.
Products
Create unlimited categories and sub-categories to help you organize your products. The system is designed to be user-friendly, so you can easily manage everything in one place. Designed products refer to products that are not readily available on the market; they're usually made to your specifications (drawings, requirements).
Quoting
Create new quotes based on the products you have just created. You may use our built-in calculations or override any value with your own.
Sales
Create sales orders and easily track their status. Seamlessly generate production or purchasing demands, keeping you on top of your sales with an intuitive, integrated system.
Production
Work orders can be created for your shop-floor and statuses can be tracked instantly.
Many more features will be available soon, and we look forward to sharing them with you. Start your 3 month free trial now!
