ERP vs Fleet Management Software – What you need to know?
Often organization with extensive operations, face an ongoing battle whether to use an existing ERP system by adjusting it for their fleet management or should they acquire a separate Fleet Management Software? Chances are that an organization head will claim that the firm has already paid for an ERP system which incorporates all operations into it. Why pay for an additional software that isn’t “necessary”?
Despite of several proven advantages of an ERP system when it comes to managing total corporate resources and integration, it often fails to meet the demands when it comes to the complex fleet management processes and operations. For instance, an ERP system provide the generic work order reports which lacks the flexibility to create intelligent reports to measure the KPI’s and performance of any fleet. Besides this, manual data entry makes it more prone to errors. In addition to this, it provides limited interface with inventory control.
Since fleet operations require systems that are tailored to their specific requirements which considers their complexity and performance speeds, making it large-complex operation.
