If you’re looking to reduce emissions, NetSuite ERP could be the solution you’re looking for
Never has it been more important to consider the impact your business has on the environment. Facing and tackling the challenges of climate change and reducing energy emissions have become major concerns for businesses and governments across the globe. As new targets are put in place for businesses to reduce their environmental impact more organisations look for ways to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption, and an ERP software could provide the winning solution.
How ERP software can help reduce carbon emissions
Business management solutions such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) can provide a formula for cutting back on complex supply chains and, therefore, reduce emissions and environmental impact. They create a seamless and unified communication between all key business functions including, sales, inventory, procurement, finance and more. This real-time, complete visibility provides instant updates and analytics, which increases efficiency and transparency throughout the supply chain.
An ERP like NetSuite allows business leaders to synchronise supply with demand while monitoring losses and waste, making processes more profitable and less impactful on the environment. Below we look at just three ways NetSuite ERP can help to reduce carbon emissions, allowing industries to keep up with the evolving green movement and continue to meet targets and standards.
#1 Reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
The ability to reduce fuel starts with effective forecasting and planning tools. NetSuite’s ERP solution can enable companies to optimise their end-to-end supply chain and ensure transportation and shipping is full rather than partially filled. In addition, NetSuite ERP allows business leaders to advance demand plan with real-time visibility, saving money and reducing emissions.
Ultimately, NetSuite ERP enables businesses to reduce costs, ordering, transporting and storing which in turn saves fuel and reduces emissions.
#2 NetSuite ERP is a paperless system
Going paperless or at least reducing the paper a company depends on is good for the environment. Paper-based systems are not only less efficient, but also more prone to error and likely to have longer decision-making cycles. NetSuite’s ERP provides real-time visibility across the entire business enabling leaders to improve decision making timelines and accuracy.
NetSuite ERP does not require paper for sales / purchase orders, invoices, shipping documents or reports. With a paperless, cloud-based software businesses save money and time writing out or printing. Buying, printing and storing paper is an ancient requirement, such as the carbon footprint it helps to create.
#3 Cloud-based reduces energy needed for servers
The debate between cloud-based vs on premises software has become slightly outdated with the overwhelming shift and adoption of cloud systems across the globe. However, it does raise a strong advantage of cloud, particularly for the environment and the impact businesses have. The nature of cloud being hosted on a third-party server and accessed via the web means that money and energy is saved because companies do not need to pay to power on-premises server or maintain their environment.
