CMMS with an ERP
An ERP is a solution that allows you to manage - almost - everything in your company. As a reminder, ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planner. A whole program! Would these solutions be able to offer complete, easy-to-use and relevant functionalities for all departments, including maintenance? The answer can be found on CMMS vs ERP, the match! And to summarize the article, ERPs are too heavy, too expensive and unsuitable to cover maintenance functions. The areas where they remain effective are production and accounting/financial services. So move on when looking for the best software solution for your maintenance team.
