When a business grows, communication becomes difficult as more layers of management are added, causing delays and confusion. This can be solved by using an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, which connects all departments through a shared database. It allows real time updates and direct access to information, reducing the need for messages to pass through multiple managers. As a result, communication becomes clearer and faster, helping the business make quicker and more accurate decisions.
