Abstract – Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are the linchpin of modern business operations, facilitating efficient management and data-driven decision-making. This paper introduces an innovative approach to ERP system implementation with a primary focus on active user participation and a user-centric perspective. In the rapidly evolving landscape of contemporary business, the demand for cost-effective and user-friendly solutions is imperative, particularly for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Our research meticulously examines the seven vital stages of ERP deployment, underscoring the pivotal role of user engagement in each phase, spanning from initial business process research to software installation, data migration, rigorous testing, comprehensive user training, final deployment, and continued post-implementation support.
The project's overarching objective is to cultivate an ERP system that not only prioritizes user-friendliness and cost-effectiveness but is also proficient in addressing the specific operational requirements of SMEs. The objectives encompass the development of core modules, financial optimization, heightened operational efficiency, scalability, and data-driven decision-making. The proposed system offers an overview of its core and supplementary modules, functionality, user interface, innovative technology integrations, scalability, security provisions, customization opportunities, and the prospective benefits. The project timeline and user training strategies are also distinctly delineated. Our research underscores the significance of proactively involving end-users in the ERP implementation process to ensure its triumphant execution and adaptability. It highlights the pivotal role of user-centric design in heightening efficiency, realizing cost savings, and enhancing overall business performance.
