4 advantages of an ERP developed by Thai people

An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system developed by Thai people has several advantages. A Thai-developed ERP is just as effective as a foreign ERP, and the advantages of using a Thai-developed ERP are as follows:

1. A Thai-developed ERP can understand the local Thai business very well.

2. A Thai-developed ERP can support use in the Thai language better.

3. A Thai-developed ERP is flexible to customise to fit Thai businesses well.

4. A Thai-developed ERP has costs that align better with Thai businesses.

The details of each point are as follows

1. An ERP developed by Thai people usually has a deep understanding of the local market and business — whether it’s understanding local laws, culture, or the business habits of Thai people.

Adapting the system to fit the local environment is meant to make the system respond well to the needs of businesses in the area.

In addition, a Thai-developed ERP can develop a system that provides support and training to customers in that locality, so they understand how to use and maintain the system.

2. A Thai-developed ERP can support use in the Thai language better — for example, giving function names or various reports in Thai.

This lets users work efficiently, with no language barriers in using the ERP system.

The various forms of Thai-language ERP use include, for example: the translation and explanation of the system’s various functions, and the sorting and filtering of data in the system in Thai.

3. A Thai-developed ERP is flexible to customise to fit Thai businesses well.

A Thai-developed ERP is designed in a way that allows various modules to be customised to respond to business needs — whether it’s warehouse management, personnel management, or production management.

This includes letting the system connect and adapt to work with other systems that may be used in the business, such as sales systems or customer management systems.

4. A Thai-developed ERP has costs that align better with Thai businesses.

That is, a Thai-developed ERP has the ability to adjust its costs to align well with Thai businesses.

The system can flex according to the size of the business, whether it’s a small group or a large company, so the organisation doesn’t have to pay for unnecessary expenses.

This includes being able to give the system modules that work according to the business’s needs, without the organisation having to pay additional costs for modules it doesn’t use.

And having a support team that can advise and travel to the site to fix problems is more convenient than using a foreign ERP system.

All of the above means a Thai-developed ERP can adjust its costs to be reasonable for the size of a Thai organisation, and provides support service that is easy and convenient to access if the organisation runs into problems using it.
