Finance System: Top 5 Add-Ons

Steve Jobs aptly articulated, “You cannot mandate productivity; you must provide the tools to let people become their best.” Within the contemporary business landscape, software furnishes these crucial tools, particularly through ERP solutions that contain a myriad of functionalities. But how does a Steve Jobs aptly articulated, “You cannot mandate productivity; you must provide the tools to let people become their best.” Within the contemporary business landscape, software furnishes these crucial tools, particularly through ERP solutions that contain a myriad of functionalities. But how does a finance software, part of the ERP repertoire, elevate productivity? The answer lies in the strategic use of finance software add-ons.

ERP solutions bring bona fide benefits to businesses. They pull from a unified, centralised database that collates information from every department in an organisation—be it inventory management, CRM, AP automation, or HR. This enables streamlined operations, cost reduction, and enhancement of the bottom line.

What is a Finance System?

A finance system is a subset of ERP software geared specifically toward managing an organisation’s financial data. This includes but is not limited to, revenue tracking, accounting, investment management, and financial reporting.

What is a Finance System Add-On?

A finance system add-on is a supplemental feature or module designed to extend and enhance the capabilities of the core finance system. For example, while the core finance software might handle basic accounting tasks, an add-on could bring advanced functionalities like real-time analytics or automated invoice processing.

Why Use Finance System Add-Ons?

The adoption of finance system add-ons is instrumental for various reasons. They offer specialised functionalities, which the core system might not provide, thereby making the financial operations more efficient, accurate, and tailored to the organisation’s specific needs.

Research conducted by the Aberdeen Group revealed noteworthy advantages for organisations utilising ERP solutions with finance software add-ons:

  • Up to 95% financial report accuracy compared to 89% for those without.
  • A 21% decrease in decision-making time year-over-year.
  • A 10% uplift in profitability.

Guaranteed Integration

According to Statista, the global cloud ERP market is expected to grow by as much as 13.6% annually, with its value anticipated to reach a value of $40.5 billion by 2025. The attraction of ERP lies in the ease of integration they provide.

Integration makes it possible to manage the vast web of software applications data is gathered from. Communicating this data between modules needs to happen seamlessly if the system is to be efficient. Otherwise, a company will see costs increase thanks to the need for multiple databases to host different data, the updating of individual systems and the hiring of dedicated staff to oversee processes.

Integrating with specific ERP add-ons allows a company to achieve much more much faster, including the implementation of advanced functionality in reporting, making in-depth analysis easier and helping a company leverage its investment even further.

Companies can pick individual ERP add-ons that fit best with their specific goals, while unnecessary modules can be removed or left out. So, invoice management solutions like Kefron AP Automation has the ability to sync with any accounting software by simply exchanging information directly with your systems, eliminating the need to rekey information.

 

Top 5 Finance System Add-Ons

1. Customer Relationship Management

Strong customer relationships are vital, regardless of the industry an organisation operates in. A CRM module, like Netsuite CRM, makes it possible to keep on top of customer data, providing such useful insights as buyer behaviour and purchase history, as well as interaction histories with leads, customers and prospects. As a result, customer service levels can be enhanced dramatically, and with its customer satisfaction rates.

2. Invoice Automation

One of the most critical modules for any ERP solution, strong invoice automation modules can make any company that bit more financially savvy. They can perform complex, real-time calculations providing far more valuable insights than general accounting can, as well as tracking the movement of finances in and out of the organisation – for instance, invoice payment management through Kefron AP Automation.

3. Supply Chain Management

Keeping accurate track of the comings and goings of inventory can be extremely difficult. Which is why integrating a supply chain management module into an ERP system is so important. SCM modules, like that from Microsoft Dynamics,  capture real-time data to identify and correct disruptions at any point, making it possible to make informed decisions, to plan for future demand and forecast trends.

4. Inventory Management

An alternative to SCM is an inventory management module. This is a simpler ERP add-on which focuses on the flow of goods into and out of a warehouse. They typically provide real-time stock numbers and allow a company to optimise its warehouse space and include other features like stock level tracking and inventory receipt processing.

5. Human Resources Management

Another critical ERP add-on is a HR management module. A HRM, like SAGE HRMS, can collect vast amounts of complex data across every department in an organisation and correlate them. With this add-on it becomes easier to attain accurate insights, facilitate inter-departmental data sharing, compile specific data reports and manage personnel records and employee leave entitlements.
