Can Food ERP Software Systems Be Social?

Social media seems to be taking over so many aspects of every day life.  How would social media benefit a company as an internal application, more specifically to food and beverage manufacturers?  Sure, there are a number of programs right now that allow employees to collaborate, but what I'm talking about today is having the social media tools integrated as a part of your food ERP software system.

Wouldn't it be nice for your employees to collaborate and communicate about the inventory or manufacturing operations from within your food manufacturing ERP software?  Of course, we don't mean this will post inventory backorders on Twitter or past due invoices on Facebook.  This is a tool that would work in conjunction with your food manufacturing software.

Social ERP is a term that is on the rise.  At EVS, we think this is something that could help determine the next generation of ERP software.  We're working on ways to improve the user experience and we think that having social tools built into your food and beverage ERP software will be extremely beneficial.

There's likely to be much more discussion on this topic in the near future.  For more information on EVS' food software or other process manufacturing ERP software systems, visit www.evs-sw.com.  We'd love to hear your thoughts on how social media concept apply to an ERP software system, so drop us a line.
