ERP FAQs

ERP software focuses on integrating business processes into a single, streamlined database and user interface by providing modules for each core business area, including human resources, financials, inventory management, sales, customer relationship management, and other business-critical functionalities.

The systematic and consistent flow of business data and information across all departments in a company is one of the direct effects of installing an ERP solution. Having access to this real-time data helps you to make better business decisions and guarantees that all information and data is accurate and up to date.

 Planning an ERP implementation begins with a precise formulation of the business objectives, working with the company's subject matter experts to map out the many specific qualities the organisation needs to achieve. Following identifying business objectives, we will critically link the business processes that fulfils these goals to the technology solutions.

Moving IT infrastructure and applications to the cloud minimises the need for in-house support and lowers the cost of server hardware for many businesses. Cloud-based ERP makes it simple to scale up or down functionality and users as needed. Users may join from any internet-connected web browser or device, and the solution is always up to date with the newest version of the software thus making it easier to share information across regions or locations. And because all server maintenance is done remotely by the Metro Group staff, the SaaS option frees up your IT staff for other projects.

Metro provides a SaaS (Software as a Service) cloud hosting solution, which allows clients to access their server in various ways and at different times. However, some businesses may not be ready to hand over security to a third party and instead want an on-premise solution, which is OK with us. We're one of the few software companies that can provide our clients freedom while still providing on-premise ERP solutions. We can assist you in making a decision based on your specific organisational needs.

Yes, you may. This is done by first selecting all items you wish to export, then clicking on Action and finally clicking  on Export to select what data you wish to export of the items you have selected.
