 ERP inventory management has many advantages.  The main advantage for a company is that the ERP system is company-wide and involves only one software system.  Companies that do not use ERP management will sometimes have several different software applications that are not compatible with one another.

 Some other advantages include: ◦ Proper communication between different areas. ◦ Tracking of orders from the time the order was received to its delivery. ◦ Keeping up with the revenue cycle from when the invoice is issue through when the payment is received. ◦ No longer have to keep up with changes in different software systems. The one system is tied together. ◦ Provides a ‘top down’ overview of the workings of a company. ◦ Reduces the risk of loss of information ◦ Sets up a form of security to protect against theft from outside or within a company.
