Never Too Small: 3 Ways SMEs Use Cloud ERP To Drive Growth
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have long been the backbone of large corporations, facilitating the seamless management of everything from inventory to customer relations. Historically, the cost and complexity of these systems have made them inaccessible to small businesses. However, public cloud solutions are radically changing this landscape, making ERP systems more attractive and feasible for start-ups, spin-offs, and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) and empowering these businesses to succeed in a competitive and rapidly evolving market. Here are 3 ways SMEs are thriving with cloud ERP: 1. Faster implementation Embarking on the implementation of an ERP system is no small task. It necessitates meticulous planning and a robust change management strategy. Aside from the technical adjustments, organizations need to be ready to embrace significant cultural and mindset shifts. This is where SMEs tend to stand out, as they can often get through implementation faster than larger corporations due to simpler business processes, fewer legacy systems, overall agility, and innovation mindset. KTM Bike Industries, a mid-sized European leader in bicycles, recently transitioned with ease from a 20-year-old customized system to the standardized SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. a ready-to-run cloud ERP that delivers the latest industry best practices and continuous innovation. Despite the inherent complexity involved with such a transition, they were able to move quickly by adopting out-of-the-box processes and embracing standard best practices for implementation. While SAP handled the deployment, KTM Bike Industries focused on their core business, streamlining their operations and bolstering their mission of promoting sustainable mobility. 2. Leveraging cutting-edge tech trends Especially for small and medium-sized businesses looking to stay ahead of the technological curve, cloud ERP offers powerful tools to thrive in a competitive market. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, cloud ERP systems automate routine tasks, streamline workflows, and enhance decision-making capabilities. Hyper-automation drastically reduces human error, boosts productivity, and frees up employees to focus on strategic initiatives that drive growth. Another game-changer is the increasing emphasis on real-time analytics. Contemporary ERP systems offer the ability to analyze data instantaneously, providing insights that empower businesses to make swift and data-driven decisions. For small businesses, this means agility—the power to react promptly to market shifts, optimize inventory, and deliver superior customer service. Mobile ERP solutions accessible via smartwatches, smartphones, or tablets allow employees to access critical business functions from anywhere, at any time. This mobility is a significant boon for small businesses, enabling them to remain nimble and responsive in a 24/7 business environment. By leveraging these advancements, small businesses equipped with cloud ERP systems are not just keeping pace—they're setting the pace for innovation and success in the modern marketplace.3. Actively shaping the future of cloud ERP No voice is too small to shape the future of cloud ERP. With the right infrastructure and mindset in place, even the smallest players can actively influence the landscape. This has been evident among a select council of customers representing European and North American SMEs who actively provide feedback on the user experience of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. Swapnil Ghule, Engineering Manager at Unzer GmbH, embraces the opportunities presented by this program: "We feel heard. We are giving active feedback and we're seeing that we're not only listened to, but that it's getting implemented. That's a win-win for both sides and in the end together we can really structure and make the solution better." As software providers increasingly adopt user feedback, in-product telemetry, and user research to enhance product quality and user satisfaction, SAP's Chief Design Officer, Arin Bhowmick, emphasizes the importance of including even the smallest voices: "We want to directly integrate customer voices into SAP, no matter the size of the enterprise. What makes small and mid-sized enterprises especially compelling is that they are fast movers and fast scalers, so we can learn a lot from them." The rise of cloud ERP solutions is putting advanced business tools in the hands of SMEs. With easier implementation, cutting-edge technology, and the ability to provide real-time feedback, these systems are empowering businesses to thrive in a competitive and rapidly evolving market.

VELA Hotels and Mews partner to enhance operations and guest experience
German hospitality company VELA Hotels has transitioned to Mews, a hospitality cloud solutions provider, to manage its collection of coastal properties. The shift from a traditional on-site property management system (PMS) to Mews enables VELA to leverage a cloud-based infrastructure that facilitates automation, self-service capabilities, and integration with various third-party services, said VELA. Each of the three VELA apartment-style properties now employs Mews Terminals for integrated payment processing within their dining establishments and uses single sign-on technology to optimise staff access. VELA Hotels revenue director Vitaliy Uralov said: 'Our goal with VELA has always been to create places where guests feel truly at ease. That starts with operations that work seamlessly behind the scenes. 'Mews allows us to automate and digitise our workflows, giving our team more time to focus on the guest experience and less on admin. That's the kind of change that supports our entire brand ethos.' With the successful implementation of Mews across its existing locations, VELA Hotels is preparing for future growth. The brand anticipates the introduction of a new property in early 2026 that will feature a fully automated self-check-in process, eliminating the conventional reception desk in favour of a communal welcoming area. Uralov added: 'Mews gives us the flexibility to test and adopt new tools fast, without long delays or expensive connection fees. 'It's empowering our teams to modernise, re-think long-standing processes and deliver a smoother experience for our guests.' Earlier this month, Mews enhanced its Digital Key technology by integrating with Salto's advanced locking system, enabling hotel operators to offer guests a contactless experience through Salto's access control system. "VELA Hotels and Mews partner to enhance operations and guest experience" was originally created and published by Hotel Management Network, a GlobalData owned brand.

The initial offering provides U.S. federal agencies secure access to two of the company's market-leading solutions: Cellebrite Inseyets, enabling immediate online access to Cellebrite's latest digital forensics capabilities, and Cellebrite Guardian, for collaborative digital evidence review, sharing and storage. Together, these integrated solutions are designed to deliver greater operational efficiencies, support end-to-end collaboration and strengthen the overall chain of custody to help U.S. federal agencies advance their missions while meeting the scalability and security requirements of national, regional and local public safety customers.
