The functions of ERP systems in the market are similar, mainly depending on whether the management process is simple and clear, and whether it can match its own business needs and enterprise development. If you don't know how to choose, you can refer to the following points:
1. Does it support multi-platform and multi-account data interaction?
A fully functional ERP can help sellers manage the whole process of cross-border e-commerce without using additional warehouse management software and financial management software. This not only saves the cost, but also increases the workload of data interaction, so it is necessary to import and export the data again. The original intention of cross-border e-commerce ERP system is automation and process management.
2. Is the docking of service providers perfect?
Good ERP not only has perfect functions, but also needs to be convenient for cross-border sellers to use. Whether the international freight forwarding logistics, overseas warehouses and payment and collection platforms are well connected and whether various query plug-ins are supported is also very important.
3. Import and export function and open API interface
Data import and export function, convenient for sellers to exchange data and conduct secondary analysis; The open API interface facilitates data transmission to other third-party platforms. It is a function that large and medium-sized sellers value very much.
4. Data security and historical data backup
Cross-border e-commerce ERP system will capture orders from various platform stores, and the information of orders is very rich, which also involves the privacy of sellers. At the same time, the cross-border e-commerce ERP system will capture a large number of order data over time, which is huge, but it is very meaningful for sellers. You can analyze according to the previous indicators, so as to understand your own business situation and make adjustments in time.
5. Can the system be extended?
All sellers start from childhood, and there are generally different versions of ERP for small sellers and large sellers. At this time, ERP is needed to support cross-version data synchronization and function customization according to actual business conditions. Otherwise, once ERP needs to be replaced, it will be very time-consuming and laborious.
