Why Horticulture Companies Seek ERP Upgrades

Surveys across our horticulture clients reveal the most common reasons why they need new ERP to automate their business:

Paper-based processes and manual intervention create inefficient, time consuming, and duplicative work.
Software inefficiencies increase the pressure to maximize production in the presence of poor climate and dwindling water resources.
Manual upkeep of inventory, growth and yield data, fleet management, ingredients and materials, etc.
Legacy ERP packages do not offer accessibility and sharing of data and information across supply chains.
No integration with suppliers or vendors.

Manual accounting processes result in errors and inaccurate reporting.
Spreadsheets have limitations in supporting the unique business process – need an integrated software package will contribute to supporting the different levels of the business processes.
Manually traced origin data and other vital producer information, causes inconsistencies and errors.
Insufficient integration between internal systems requires duplicate data entry and creates fulfillment difficulties.

We were looking for an ERP consulting firm with a local presence. We also wanted a company that didn’t represent a specific ERP product or a shortlist of ERP products. ERP Advisors Group met all the criteria for us. They made their process easy to understand, gave the presentations that we needed to see, and asked the right questions. I’m confident we made the right decision with their help.
