ERP Core System: Modules at a Glance
Master data, orders, inventory, finance: what an ERP core system covers and when extensions make sense.
An ERP core system brings together the processes that almost every company needs, on a shared data foundation. Typical building blocks:
- Master data: customers, suppliers, items, partners
- Order management: quotes, orders, invoices
- Inventory: stock, goods receipt, physical counts
- Purchasing: purchase orders, goods receipt
- Finance: accounting preparation, interfaces to accounting systems and e-invoicing
- HR: time tracking, leave requests (depending on scope)
In Nuclos Cloud, these modules are preinstalled and usable directly in the browser. On-premise or fully customized deployment can be planned in parallel.
The advantage of process-oriented systems: extensions use the same master data. Production, project business, or quality management can be added without replacing the core system (extending process-oriented ERP).
Not everything on day one. Start with core processes, secure data quality, then expand. Activating every module immediately overwhelms users and complicates migration.
