ERP

What is ERP?

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is an integrated enterprise information system that connects the main processes of a company in a single data layer: accounting, finance, warehouse, procurement, sales, production, HR, and project management. Instead of isolated spreadsheets or dozens of different applications, the whole organisation works from a shared database of records — a customer, a product, an order, and an invoice exist only once.

ERP is deployed in B2B companies from approximately 10 employees upward — typically in manufacturing companies, wholesalers, construction firms, distributors, and service organisations. A typical scenario: an invoice issued from the sales module automatically reduces the warehouse stock, creates a liability in accounting, and notifies logistics — without any manual re-keying.

• One truth about data (single source of truth)
• Automation of cross-module workflows
• Reporting and dashboards across departments
• Auditability of changes (who, when, what was modified)

When it is used

ERP makes sense once a company has grown past the point where spreadsheets and isolated applications start causing errors, duplications, and late decisions. Common signals: warehouse records on paper don’t match reality, the bookkeeper re-keys orders from the webshop manually, management has no visibility of cash flow tomorrow.

In Modulario

Modulario is a modular ERP/CRM platform — instead of a single heavy system, a company assembles only the modules it currently needs (invoicing, warehouse, CRM, attendance, production). Data is shared across modules, users have a single login and a single audit log. Details on the architecture are available at /api.

ERP deployment in Modulario is iterative — a company starts with 2–3 modules, validates the workflows, and gradually adds more. Data migration from existing systems (Pohoda, Money S3, Helios, SAP) is supported via import templates and a network of implementation consulting partners.
