ERP remains the operational backbone
Financial, logistics and administrative processing can remain in ERP while Cresco makes day-to-day ordering simpler for local users.
B2B ordering portal vs ERP
B2B ordering portal vs ERP: what is each system for?
An ERP can remain the operational backbone for broader business processes. Cresco adds a buyer-friendly ordering portal for locations, franchisees or dealers to place orders within centrally managed products, permissions and rules.
Alongside your ERP, not instead of it
Simple for locations
Users see only the relevant catalog instead of navigating broad ERP screens and processes.
Focused implementation
Improve the ordering problem without starting a full ERP replacement or expansion project.
A possible division of roles
- 01
Your central team manages the orderable catalogue and rules for locations.
- 02
Locations, franchisees or dealers place orders in Cresco.
- 03
Cresco keeps order changes, delivery and history together in the ordering flow.
- 04
Financial or broader logistics processing can continue in the existing ERP.
Cresco is especially relevant when
ERP works well for back-office processes but is less suitable for decentralized ordering
many location users are occasional or non-ERP users
catalogues and ordering rules need central control
you want to complement the existing ERP rather than replace it
