ERP Integration with KanbanBOX

Enhancing Your Company’s Information Flow

Is ERP integration with KanbanBOX possible?
Absolutely. Integrating ERP systems with KanbanBOX enables the seamless flow of critical information between both platforms.
But what exactly is an ERP? What are the advantages of integrating it with KanbanBOX? Let’s dive into the details with this article.

 

 

What is ERP?

ERP, Enterprise Resource Planning, refers to software that allow companies to centrally manage a wide range of daily functions within a single platform. The number of areas that can be managed through this type of software varies based on the modules purchased and can cover, for example, the management of human resources, accounting, work orders, inventory and supplier relations.

Popular ERP systems include Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle ERP Cloud, SAP ERP, Infor CloudSuite, and Epicor ERP.

Although these software are very useful for the general management of the organization, they often lack specific features. Among these, those necessary to manage an Electronic Kanban System.

It significantly reduces costs and inventory while boosting productivity, speed, and service levels. KanbanBOX was developed to integrate seamlessly with any ERP system, ensuring maximum compatibility across various operational contexts.

Key benefits of ERP integration with KanbanBOX include:

  • Universal compatibility: KanbanBOX can integrate with any ERP system, not just the most popular ones.
