ERPs provide businesses with the opportunity to meet these changing expectations and help your business stand out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key findings include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Buying behaviors are changing.<\/strong> 66% of consumers plan to change their buying behaviors in 2023. Your ERP helps you manage inventory levels, reorder points, lead times, and more to create a more balanced and profitable inventory.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consistent communication is key.<\/strong> 42.9% of consumers said they would prefer to receive daily tracking updates about their package. An ERP system can take the manual labor off of the operations team and provide better data to solve quality issues ASAP. The result is marketing, operations, and customer service coming together to create a successful business and positive customer experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consumers are less forgiving.<\/strong> 45% said they would be less likely to shop with a brand if their package got lost in transit. ERPs connect with APIs across your entire tech stack to avoid a poor customer experience or any other activity that could damage your brand long-term.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"column-media col-span-6 order-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/erp-software-statistics-905x1024.png.webp\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"905\" height=\"1024\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-form-long padding-top--lg padding-bottom--none US \"><div class=\"background--grey background--full\">\n<div id=\"form-long-block-block_0756dfeea7d13719b1939df7c696312c\" class=\"form-long-block relative overflow-hidden\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"form-columns\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content justify-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1>Download the Ebook<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lead max-w-[64rem]\"><p>Fill out the form for access to The Merchants\u2019 No-Nonsense Guide to ERPs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"form\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"form-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/embed\/v2.js\"><\/script>\n<script>\n  hbspt.forms.create({\n    portalId: \"21675739\",\n    formId: \"371daaae-cbbe-4236-a5e5-1c22a6fc9f6a\"\n  });\n<\/script>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":140,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-58999","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.1 (Yoast SEO v25.1) -
