What is an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning System)?
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is the central system of record for finance, accounting, procurement, inventory, manufacturing, and HR. In supply chain, ERP is where the books live - purchase orders, sales orders, inventory valuation, and financial close all run there. Modern ERPs in this market range from QuickBooks-class systems for small businesses up to SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, and NetSuite for global enterprises.
