Slick New Functionality for Carillon ERP

2012-01-04T12:50:00.001-08:00

The newest edition of Carillon ERP software will include enhanced distribution and import functionality. Multiple containers can be consolidated, warehoused, and shipped between branches and companies while maintaining accounting accuracy and real time forecasting. Even the larger players in the ERP field (Microsoft, Sage, SAP, etc) cannot accurately handle these types of landed cost calculations, making Carillon ERP the best solution for any company that ships in containers. Our solution can also track duty on purchase orders and create ready to file Custom’s Declarations. In conjunction with Carillon’s powerful multi company and multi warehouse capabilities, Carillon ERP’s new container processing functions can keep up with the complexities of any business.

Carillon ERP also outperforms its competitors in real-time functionality. Our customers can’t imagine going back to Great Plains, Epicor, Navision, etc.; Waiting hours or days to have business information is unacceptable after knowing that the information can be available immediately. It’s like choosing a Walkman when you know MP3 players exist. We intend to keep this lead by regularly improving our software and keeping pace with not only what customers need immediately, but also what they might need in the future.

After the Cloud: The Future of ERP

2011-09-06T15:36:00.000-07:00

It is important for any company to think beyond just perfecting what they are currently doing to dream up what they could be doing next. Carillon ERP has been advancing with the times for more than 20 years now. In the 90’s, we went from a component software to an all-inclusive single box solution. In 2001, we developed mobile solutions as cellphones became a business standard. Currently, we have cloud capabilities for all industries and a Carillon ERP iPad application for field employees. What is next? As a relative newcomer to the IT/ERP field (I've been in the IT field for 4 years), it is an interesting exercise to brainstorm a few possibilities.

Carillon ERP supports an implementation technology, called Know It Now™, which asserts that one of the three keys to receiving timely information from your system is ease of use. It must be convenient for an employee to enter information into the system. Keeping this in mind, the next step after mobile technology might be voice automation. An employee could enter information into the system by dictating relevant info to the system. The ERP package would complete and submit the necessary documentation. An employee could enter data in to the system in about the same time it takes to let the accounting department know what he/she has completed, minus the fuss of forms.A second hot ERP topic is Business Information or BI. The popularity of this type of add-on has skyrocketed recently as companies try to save money through forecasting. The next iteration of ERP and BI integration might involve synching company calculating tools to historic industry data like that available on Gartner. The reporting possibilities with this type of synch would go beyond the individual company’s historic data, showing executives where the company stands relative to its industry or the decade.

Another system syncing idea might be an ERP package that was intended to link end to end with a second ERP package. As one manufacturer’s finished goods turned into another’s store front goods, the shipping, pricing, production, and inventory would be seamless between the two companies. The information sharing and security needs would be similar to today’s “cloud” based technology while the speed and accuracy of transactions would increase significantly.

Carillon ERP currently leads the pack when it comes to real-time functionality. Our customers can’t imagine going back to Great Plains, Epicor, Navision, etc. ; Waiting hours or days to have business information is unacceptable after knowing that the information can be available immediately. It’s like choosing a Walkman when you know MP3 players exist. We intend to keep this lead by regularly improving our software and keeping pace with not only what customers need immediately, but also what they might need in the future.

Customizable vs Configurable ERP Packages

2011-08-03T13:30:00.000-07:00

In today’s ERP vernacular, these two words imply different
capabilities of accounting software. Customizable means that the solution will fit your existing software exactly, regardless of its manufacturer or complexity. This
type of ERP package usually needs a third party to connect all the
moving parts of the system, and this party would also give you personalized
attention during the implementation and operational phases. A company can buy
an incomplete ERP package and have this third party weave it into their
existing network for a complete solution. The entire system, from your CRM to your accounting software
to your business intelligence software, is streamlined and tailored to match
your exact business needs. In addition to a higher total cost, the disavtange of this type of ERP software is that
upgrades have to be done segment by segment and overall down time can add up quickly.

A configurable ERP system is one in which
specific functions can be switched on and off. The concept is not new but has
gained popularity recently as businesses cut costs and remain wary of spending.
Running multiple software for individual tasks or departments can be expensive.
Expensive to purchase. Expensive to operate. Expensive to upgrade. Companies that don’t need a really specific ERP package will choose a
one that has more capabilities than they need at the moment, but one who’s specific functions
can be switched off until they need them. With configurable ERP systems,
upgrades are completed more efficiently and downtime is minimized because it’s
a singular system.

Carillon ERP is a configurable ERP software that includes
everything from a fully integrated CRM and accounting software to an inventory
module and forecasting capabilities. The advantages of Carillon’s ERP system go
beyond lower total cost of ownership; Carillon gives each client the
personalized attention you would expect from a customized ERP package.

Accounting Software versus Manual Accounting

2011-06-29T08:44:00.000-07:00

Is it better for a business to use accounting software or manual accounting practices to organize their finances? This debate over the effectiveness of man versus machine is not a new one, but with new advancements in technology, the dispute has now consumed the accounting world. Both types of accounting come with their own advantages and disadvantages, but depending on the size of your business as well as how much money and effort you are willing to put into your accounting department, you may be surprised to discover which option is more effective for you.

In manual accounting your company's finances are left completely in the hands of your employees. They are fully responsible for all the calculations as well as keeping proper financial records. The advantages of using manual accounting are that your company will be free from relying solely on machines and instead you will be able to hire highly skilled accountants to do the work. However, companies should be advised that this type of accounting may work better for smaller companies rather than growing or larger businesses. This is because as a company expands it will become increasingly more and more difficult for manual accountants to keep track of all the financial files and paperwork. Organization is crucial for companies dealing with numerous clients from around the country or even around the world.

Accounting software is a better option for larger businesses or for businesses that hope to expand due to future success. Accounting software from a reputable company like Carillon will take care of all your business' finances in a quick and organized manner.
