To manage all the operational and commercial processes within a company on a daily basis, benefiting from an integrated management software package (or Enterprise Resource Planning) is a real asset. Indeed, ERPs make it possible to have an overview of stocks, orders, production, the supply chain or even accounting, and to assemble all this data within a single database. A competitive advantage that concerns VSEs and SMEs, but also ETIs. You can opt for a French solution like Pandra or Divalto Infinity, or for an open source tool like ERP5 or Dolibarr.

Tools dedicated to the daily organization of the company

In the digital age, there are countless solutions and methods that improve team organization and project management. Summary of interesting tools to implement in a company.

EDM software

With the digitization of companies, the number of dematerialized documents has greatly increased. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to easily dematerialize, store and archive the various documents related to the life of the company (purchase orders, invoices, payslips, etc.). Fortunately, there is a solution for this: electronic document management. EDM software makes it possible to manage the flow of documents from their acquisition, to their distribution, then to their storage. Some solutions like Zeendoc, Open Bee, DocuWare or Daryus also offer interesting automation functions.

Electronic signature tools

The dematerialization of documents also implies being able to sign files from digital tools. For this, electronic signature solutions are based on cryptographic techniques, which will replace manual signature while guaranteeing the identity of the signatory and the integrity of the signed document. Most of these tools are paid, but solutions like DocuSign, Eversign or Signaturely offer free plans (for a limited number of documents).

Project management solutions

Project management is at the heart of many services in a company: sales, marketing, communication, development… Today, it has become difficult to imagine setting up a project without relying on a tool dedicated to task planning. Most of these solutions integrate task management by taking into account the constraints of time, schedules, resources and budgets. Depending on the tools, several organizational methodologies are offered: Kaban, Scrum, PERT, Lean, etc.

Depending on your needs, you can rely on tools that are easy to learn (Trello, Notion, etc.), specific to the agile method (Jira, Asana, etc.), or more versatile solutions (Bubble Plan, monday projects , Beesbusy, etc.).

Planning tools

Last important step for a rigorous daily organization: planning! Meetings, client encounters, events… So many appointments that are part of professional life, but that you need to organize within a dedicated schedule. Most tools offer integration with your calendar (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, etc.), to automatically record your appointments, and offer availability to your contacts.
