What is the difference between ERP Software and a
Single Business Application?
Introduction A Jewelry ERP software or a simple
business application? This dilemma is very common
for business owners who want to invest in such
software but are not aware of them. Well, it is
easy to believe the vendors of such software but
it is way easier to read this blog, know the
difference between them and then make an informed
decision. To start, Enterprise Resource Planning
is business management software with various
comprehensive systems integrated, so that this
whole software can be used as one tool to manage
the entire business. Whereas a business
application is an application that is designed
specifically for one need and is completely
isolated from other applications.
Except for the basic definition distinction, the
follows
other differences in them are as

1. Integration As ERP software cover every
functional area of business like accounts,
marketing, sales, inventory, human resource,
etc, it facilitates better and wider integrated
data or system. A business application has no
integration because it is designed for one
specific function. For example, if you have an
application for inventory function then that
application will not integrate with other
functions of the business.
2. Flexibility The current competitive state of
the market need not be told and to stay in this
cut-throat competition, it is imperative to have
well-aligned and systematic functions in the
organization. A business application can't do
this for you whereas Jewelry ERP software
enables you to manage and control all your
functions effectively. ERP software does not only
coordinate various functions within an
enterprise but also integrates at different
entities level.
3. Cost-effective Deploying business
applications can be costly especially when your
business has a variety of functions. A separate
application for an individual function only
creates chaos in the organization. Whereas
deploying an ERP is a very smart and
cost-effective move. Its modular software,
where there is an ease to choose specific modules
that are required in the business and also add
the left ones later when the business grows.
4. The requirement of planning Successful
implementation of ERP accounting software calls
for proper planning from the top management
level. The top management along with project
management will decide on

the appropriate module, training required and the
finance to be invested. For single business
applications, only the specific department needs
to plan amongst themselves.

• Ease of communication
• With ERP software, the integration of all
  organizational entities is very simple. For
  example, if you generate a report of procurement
  that can be easily shared with the other relevant
  departments with the help of functions enabled
  in the software. On the other hand, in the case
  of the business application, if a report is
  generated about any field then that can only be
  shared by the way of mailing or sending it by
  hand.
• Thus, the Jewellery ERP Software and business
  applications are very different and so are their
  uses. Therefore, it is advised that before making
  your final decision on them, do understand your
  business size, operations, and requirements first
  because every business is different and every
  owner wants good returns.
