Your guide to the tech outside of HR Tech
ERP: Enterprise resource planning: a suite of software that organizations use to manage day-to-day business activities, such as accounting, procurement, project management, risk management and compliance, and supply chain operations. A complete ERP suite also includes enterprise performance management, software that helps to plan, budget, predict, and report on an organization’s financial results.1
Why would your client need this?
Many organizations need an ERP for purchasing, inventory management, accounting/financial tracking, and project/labor allocation. ERPs can also have an HCM functionality – like payroll, timekeeping, or HRIS – but these features tend to be less robust than a true HCM vendor
CRM: Customer relationship management: a technology for managing all of a company’s relationships and interactions with customers and potential customers. Essentially: an account management system.
Why would your client need this?
CRMs technologies have sales, marketing, customer service, and e-commerce capabilities. CRMs main goal is to improve business relationships by streamlining sales, marketing, and engagement processes. A CRM system can give your clients a clear overview of their customers. Employers can see everything in one place — a simple, customizable dashboard that can highlight a customer’s previous history with the company, the status of their orders, any outstanding customer service issues, and more.2
HCM: Human Capital Management: a technology solution focused on a set of practices related to people resource management. These practices are focused on the organizational need to provide specific competencies and are implemented in three categories: workforce acquisition, workforce management and workforce optimization.3
Why would your client need this?
HCM vendors provide payroll, tax, talent management, benefits administration, and a lot of other employee-facing services & tools. HCMs can increase hiring speed and quality by quickly sourcing the right candidates, increase engagement with work-life solutions that help motivate employees and deliver a superior employee experience, and retain talent by providing professional learning and growth opportunities.4
