ERP modules

Fixed Asset Management in ERP Services
Fixed asset register, capitalisation policy, depreciation with parallel tax and statutory books, transfers, revaluation, disposals and physical verification.
ERP Document Management Module Services
Documents attached to the record they belong to, not filed in a folder. Capture, version control, approval routing, access control, retention and audit trail.
Finance and Accounting ERP Module Services
How the ERP finance module really works: chart of accounts design, subledger reconciliation, AP and AR, bank, multi-currency, tax and a clean period close.
HR and Payroll ERP Module
What the HR and payroll module does: employee master, attendance and leave, the pay run, statutory deductions, expenses, self-service and the salary journal.
ERP Inventory Management Module Services
What the inventory module does: item master and UoM, batch and serial traceability, FIFO and standard cost valuation, stock ledger and cycle counting.
Manufacturing and MRP Module in ERP Services
An MRP run is only as good as the bills of material and routings behind it. Most manufacturing implementations that fail, fail on BOM accuracy.

Software Maintenance Services
Dependency updates, security patches, compatibility fixes and small improvements that keep a system stable and current, without a full rebuild.

Questions we are asked

Which stock valuation method should we choose?

For most distributors and general manufacturers, weighted average is the sensible default: simple to explain, it smooths price movement and needs almost no maintenance. Choose FIFO for dated or perishable stock, or when your auditor or tax regime expects it. Choose standard cost only if you want variance analysis.

What is a three-way match and why does it matter?

It compares the purchase order, the goods receipt and the supplier invoice before anything is paid. If all three agree on quantity and price within tolerance, the invoice is cleared automatically; if not, it is held and routed to whoever can explain the difference.

Can an ERP sales module replace a dedicated CRM?

It depends on what your sales team does all day. If they quote real products against real stock, with real margin, the ERP module is the better home. If they live in marketing campaigns, lead scoring and long nurture sequences, keep the dedicated CRM.

Will the ERP handle our local payroll and statutory rules?

Not out of the box. A global ERP ships a payroll engine but not your tax slabs, social insurance rates or filing formats; those come from a localisation pack, a partner-built module or configuration. Check that a maintained localisation exists for your country before you commit.
