Parker Earth Moving Company

Parker Earth Moving Company can use Enterprise resource planning software (EPR) in improving the operations of the company. This software integrates all departments and functions in the entire company into a single system that can serve the needs of different departments. This single software program serves the need of people in human resource, finance, production, warehouse and other departments within the company. Various departments in the company have their own system optimized for the ways that every department performs its work.  EPR software combines all these systems into a single, integrated software program which runs off a single database. This enables all departments in the company to share information and improve communication between them. This integrated approach can make the company's operations more effective and efficient, and it can also save time.

In many companies, when a customer submits an order, it circulates in different departments for it to be keyed in the computer systems of various departments. This causes delays, lost orders, and the keying into different systems can cause errors. Enterprise resource planning software (EPR) can address this problem by integrating all the system into a single integrated software program. This program helps people from different departments to share information without physical movement; this saves on time and improves performance.
