FAQs

How much does it cost to invest in SYSPRO'S ERP system in Australia?

SYSPRO ERP is cost-competitive. The cost is based on several factors, including the size of your organization, the number of users and the specific modules you require, customization and deployment method (on-premise or cloud-based) and any additional services including implementation, training, and ongoing support.

Because these systems are so wide-reaching, it is difficult to accurately and comprehensively calculate the cost of your initial investment. This will depend on your particular requirements, and you will need to analyze your current business processes and what needs to be optimized within your business.

What is the ROI of ERP investments?

The return on investment for an ERP system can be equally complex to assess, because it depends on a variety of factors including the size of the business, the complexity of the operations and the specific goals of the implementation. However, an ERP system has immediate value to your organization, for example in helping you to reduce wasted time, better manage your inventory, improve your profit margins and reduce miscalculations. The data you pull out of your ERP system will help with strategic and long-term planning, which will in turn deliver substantial benefits down the line.

While the final selection will be influenced by your specific requirements, these capabilities are essential:

  • Scalability and flexibility
  • Mobile-friendly
  • Customer testimonials
  • Ease of use
  • Integration and customization strengths

Why are ERP systems important?

An ERP system, often described as the “central nervous system of an enterprise,” offers essential automation, integration, and intelligence for managing day-to-day operations efficiently. It consolidates an organisation’s data, providing a single source of truth. ERP systems are crucial for finance to close books, sales to manage orders, logistics to ensure timely deliveries, accounts payable to process payments, management to gain performance insights, and banks/shareholders to access accurate financial records. The ERP software market’s importance is underscored by its projected growth to US$78.40 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of 10.2% from 2019 to 2026.
