 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is all about streamlining business processes to increase efficiencies and organisational agility. Fleet footed organisations gain the competitive edge by significantly improving the customer’s experience of doing business with them.
What is Enterprise Resource Planning?
ERP is the management of an enterprise company’s resources, namely the human resources, the physical resources, the financial resources and the knowledge information resources.

What does ERP software do?
ERP software is a management information system that integrates and automates many of the business practices associated with the operations of a company or the production aspects of the company. These practices typically include manufacturing, logistics, distribution, inventory, shipping, rental management, invoicing and accounting, as well as human resource management.
How WisHList delivers good ERP Solutions?
At WisHList we believe that delivering good ERP solutions comprise four elements of equal importance; if one of them is lacking the solution will not deliver to its full potential.
1. Industry knowledge
WisHList agrees with Charles F Kettering that a problem well stated is a problem half solved. Therefore we ensure that our ERP consultants not only understand software packages, but that their industry knowledge is at least on equal footing. Only when an ERP consultant understands the intricacies involved in a business process, can he or she start proposing solutions. We work closely with our clients to define the problem before we bring the technology on board.
2. World class software
WisHList is a certified Microsoft Dynamics partner, one of only a handful in South Africa. This status allows us to market, sell and implement Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly Navision), the dynamic and flexible software we have selected to underpin our unique brand of ERP consulting.
-
MS Dynamics NAV is a stable and technologically advanced product, currently running in more than 60 000 companies worldwide.
-
As part of the Microsoft stable, continued research and development resources are being invested in the improvement of MS Dynamics NAV.
-
MS Dynamics NAV has both breadth and depth in terms of functionality: it supports the full business trade cycle as well as specific business processes within that cycle.
-
Most important is MS Dynamics NAV’s ability to be configured for specific business needs. Its 4th generation development language allows our developers to adapt and add specific functionality to address the gaps identified in the business analysis.
MS Dynamics NAV does not force your business into its mould; it can easily be adapted to fully meet your unique business needs.
3. Implementation methodologies
Even the best business process solutions fail when implementation is not carried out properly. WisHList manages the implementation process according to proven best practice methodologies and only sign off once the client agrees that original expectations and commitments have been met.
4. Change management
Human beings are creatures of habit and even when a change is for the better, people may struggle to accept it. When a new system replaces a previous one, the perceived difficulty of using it or the temporary slowdown in productivity often result in users reverting to their old ways or inventing parallel systems.
As we have encountered this phenomenon many times before, WisHList assists our clients to design and implement a change management programme to prepare users for the new system and to overcome issues of resistance.
Our four-pronged approach has resulted in many successful implementations of:
· front and back office solutions,
· time and attendance systems and
· client management software solutions
in Southern Africa and other countries around the globe.
