Digital transformation has been a big topic for a long time now, but since the start of COVID 19, businesses have realised the urgency to adapt and to make those changes at a quicker pace.

ERP systems have become an integral part of digital transformation in the business environment of today. It pulls everything together and allows for greater automation, digitisation, modernisation and streamlined operational processes.

ERP Systems have however also changed with the times, in line with technological developments and consumer demands. Some of the developments that can be seen includes the user friendliness of the systems we see today - it’s become much easier to use. We also see traditional on premise systems rapidly migrating to the cloud as well as integrating with mobile applications and business intelligence tools.

Kerridge Commercial Systems have made available several mobile applications that simply integrates with its ERP system. These applications allow our customers to continue to streamline and digitise their operational processes.
