ERP- or CRM-software ?
In the world of business management, two terms are often used: ERP and CRM. If you're looking for a solution to optimize your processes, it's essential to understand the difference between these two tools and their features. And, above all, why a complete solution like Simpleter could be your best choice.
CRM: a specific tool for managing your customer relationships
CRM, or Customer Relationship Management, is software designed to manage your interactions with your customers and prospects. It's important to note that CRM is a specific module, not a complete business management software package.
A CRM focuses primarily on :
Sales tracking: prospect and customer management, sales pipeline, forecasts and opportunities
Contact management: centralized information on prospects and customers (contact details, history), customer support and ticketing management
Marketing campaigns: segmentation, precise targeting, e-mailing campaigns...
In short, CRM is a module dedicated to customer relations. It is essential if you want to :
• Improve customer follow-up
• Increase sales with centralized data
• Optimize your marketing campaigns
However, a CRM is not designed to cover all a company's needs. It is limited to managing your leads and customers, and requires other tools to manage your finances, logistics or human resources.
ERP software: A complete solution for managing your entire business
ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, goes far beyond CRM. It's software that centralizes, optimizes and harmonizes all your company's processes on a single platform. You can manage all operational, functional and financial aspects of your business, as it includes features for :
Financial management: accounting, invoicing, budget forecasts, analytical accounting.
Operational management: work orders, planning, orders for supplies or services, customer contracts, follow-up reminders...
Functional management: managing your employees, CSR, Quality and Safety, vehicle fleet management, work hours, etc.
Administration: customers, service providers, suppliers, projects, reporting...
Logistics and production: inventory management, procurement...
Human Resources: management of salaries, vacations, expense accounts, training, authorizations, medical examinations, annual interviews, payroll...
And of course, a CRM module: for customer and sales management.
In other words, an ERP includes a CRM, but it covers much more than that. With ERP, all your teams work on a single tool, reducing errors, improving productivity and providing a clear 360° view of your business in real time.
