ERP for a small business: do you need it?

A small business rarely needs a heavy ERP system, but it does need one place where accounting, invoices, staff, payroll and customers come together. Choose software that starts small and lets you add modules as you grow. Nexora works that way: you start with accounting and switch on HR, payroll, planning, CRM or projects when you need them.

What is an ERP?

ERP stands for enterprise resource planning: software that brings a company's processes together in one system, such as finance, purchasing, stock, staff and sales.

What does a small business really need?

  • accounting with bank, invoices and VAT returns;
  • customers, quotes and invoices in one place;
  • with staff: HR, leave and payroll that use the same data;
  • insight into cash, margin and open items;
  • products and purchasing, if you sell goods.

All-in-one or separate packages?

Separate packages often mean integrations, double entry and several subscriptions. In one platform you enter data once. With any choice, look at how you export your data, who owns the data and the cost per user.

How it works in Nexora

Nexora has ten modules that share the same data, from accounting to projects. In SME basic you create unlimited invoices, quotes and products. You only pay for the modules you switch on, and we move your data over free of charge.
