ERP as system of record
Financial and logistics processing can remain in ERP while Cresco simplifies the front-end ordering workflow.
Ordering portal versus ERP
When does an ordering portal belong alongside your ERP?
An ERP system and an ordering portal solve different problems. ERP is strong in financial, logistics and administrative processing. Cresco focuses on the ordering experience between head office and locations, franchisees or dealers.
Different roles in the same process
Simple for locations
Users see only the relevant catalog instead of navigating broad ERP screens and processes.
Focused implementation
Improve the ordering problem without starting a full ERP replacement or expansion project.
A possible division of roles
- 01
Head office manages the orderable catalog and rules for locations.
- 02
Locations, franchisees or dealers place orders in Cresco.
- 03
Cresco keeps order changes, delivery and history together in the ordering flow.
- 04
Financial or broader logistics processing can continue in the existing ERP.
Cresco is especially relevant when
ERP works well for back-office processes but is less suitable for decentralized ordering
many location users are occasional or non-ERP users
catalogs and ordering rules need central control
you want to complement the existing ERP rather than replace it
