Working remotely since the pandemic? Here’s how to succeed from home.

The world is changing. Yesterday, the typical worker was an office dweller. Today, remote working is the new norm. Working from home has never been easier, with more and more companies offering flexible work options to their employees.

Working remotely since the pandemic? Here’s how to succeed from home. Remote working allows you to maintain your normal schedule while working at a different location than your desk or in another room or building daily.

Making Telework Work for You
Many remote workers are employed by firms that have not yet established telework guidelines. The work environments of remote workers have very little flexibility, in other words. In the manufacturing industry, physical matters and processes are critical, and remote work may not be possible. Many people are engaged in remote work without any practical guidance on how to do so, and they struggle to interact well with the workforce that cannot be home.

ERP For Remote Businesses - How ERP is Helping Businesses Work Remotely
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is one of the best tools for managing all aspects of your business on a day-to-day basis. If you operate as a remote business without access to an office environment, ERP software can help you work more efficiently from anywhere with just a laptop or mobile device.

When you have a Cloud ERP such as Acumatica Cloud or Epicor Kinetic, working from home can be just like being in the office with your co-workers.

Acumatica Cloud ERP

Microsoft Teams integration within Acumatica accounts and transactions allows you to continue working without having to back and forth between applications. You can also store files in Acumatica without having to send emails or provide links to colleagues who have the most up-to-date version. Acumatica’s document management is facilitated by adding relevant files to Acumatica accounts and transactions. Tasks in Acumatica are included in the screen context. You can create tasks for co-workers in Acumatica and link them to records in Acumatica. On the task, they can see what the task is connected to and review all the information so that it is not lost in the email black hole.

Epicor Kinetic
Epicor has a module called Collaborate that works just like Teams. Collaborate is a communication tool that works with those who are Epicor users internally. Epicor does have the Microsoft Teams integration as well to communicate with outside of the company. Collaborate can connect workers with external parties with Microsoft Teams to communicate project details. You can receive notifications directly from your equipment through the Epicor IoT integration or notifications from Kinetic about events to drive new levels of responsiveness and productivity. The Epicor Virtual Agent (EVA) module can be used in Collaborate to ask questions and execute commands using your own words. Share, discuss, and drill down into Data Discovery metrics in Collaborate messages.

There are many other features that will help reduce time wasted with email and status update meetings. By modernizing communication amongst your employees, both ERP solutions have the capability to boost employee productivity and responsiveness. In the end, saving you time and money.
