ERPS Is a system that helps manufactures have a better process of

developing their software or their products. Companies started to

update their processing by implementing sales system, financial

systems, purchasing steams, and inventory systems. ERPS replaces

all local systems by an integrated system that supports all the

business functions.

Integrated is a way of sharing information with all the companies

and all their employees. If a sales in the company comes in the

ERPS check the level of inventory and if the company do not have

good inventory level then it allows for purchasing new stuff to get

to the perfect level.

ERPS will continue to be used in the future because it makes

business more efficient, more profitable and pays employees on

time.
