The big drive for implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is its centralised functionality — a shared database that supports multiple functions and is used by many different business units. Most companies store highly sensitive data on their ERP systems including financial results, manufacturing secrets, and bank details which help the business manage customers, employees, and suppliers. Also, companies need their ERPs to function on the factory floor, in the distribution centre and across their retail outlets. That’s why you need to enforce compliance with both regulatory and ethical standards for your industry – and why many manufacturers and distributors are turning to corporate governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions.
Integration of GRC with your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform makes the process of regulatory compliance and reporting so much simpler – and safer. Instead of a siloed approach, consider unifying strategy, risk, performance and sustainability under one umbrella. Learn how SYSPRO can help you align your strategy and business processes, identify issues and resolve them quickly.
An ERP solution like SYSPRO can help you manage your taxes and withholdings more efficiently. The cross-module tax-return functionality facilitates easy tax compliance globally, including VAT and GST tax systems used in the world’s major economies.
SYSPRO ERP makes it easier for your finance department to support GAAP, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and local regulations around the world.
SYSPRO ERP Software features business analytics tools that provide the transparency you need for optimal governance. With true visibility across the organization and access to information in real time, you can conduct audits, identify non-conformance and then take preventive actions.
For companies looking to meet objectives related to social and environmental value creation, not just financial performance, it’s key to have data visibility across your operations. With SYSPRO ERP Software you can also relate data from various areas of the business to report on how the company is performing against objectives such as sustainability or eco-friendly purchasing practices.
New financial regulations demand that you ensure the integrity of your financial reporting with appropriate controls and auditability. Defining each employee’s roles in the process – and knowing what they can access – makes it easier to manage risk. With SYSPRO, you can integrate e-signatures and custom role-based permissions, even down to the transaction and field level. This protects your data and gives you the audit trail you need for compliance with regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley and the FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
Many regulatory bodies like the U.S. FDA require businesses to track products at the ingredient level so they can manage recalls. Electronics and medical device manufacturers, for example, need lot traceability to manage product components. SYSPRO ERP Software provides full forward and backward traceability, and you can connect it with CRM so you can contact customers and suppliers as needed based on purchase history. By creating documentation automatically, you can also reduce compliance costs.
Optimal governance, risk and compliance demands transparency when it comes to your business processes. And, the more you automate workflow for routine tasks, the more confident you can be that your business is successfully meeting compliance requirements.
SYSPRO ERP Software enables you to model and document all of your key processes, and then once you have visibility into your operations, you can identify ways to streamline and increase the throughput of information automatically. This not only drives efficiency, but it also gives you a complete audit trail on what actions happened, when.
Although a standalone program assists in managing purchasing with greater efficiency, it lacks the mission-critical quality of integration into the rest of the company’s and supplier’s systems. This is where the real advantage of an ERP solution with built-in procurement capability lies.
Navigating the complexity of a recall becomes simple when you’re able to act quickly. Download the brochure to get practical ways to implement an effective traceability system and a proper crisis management plan.
