ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning for SMEs is software that can help you plan, execute, and record your business process flow by bringing together Human Resource, computer hardware, and system software such that the business manages its diverse functions smoothly. 

WHAT ARE THE TYPE OF ERPs?

There are different types of ERP based on the business requirement – like industries the software can cover, installation methods, or the size of your business.

Based on the industries it can cover, there is generic and industry-specific ERP software. The former can be used across diverse industries while the latter can be used only for a specific industry.

According to present installation methods, ERP can be on-premises and on-cloud. While on-premises ERP can be accessed only from your office, the on-cloud ERP can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
