ERP_Image_resized.jpgBrexit shook most of the world when it was announced that the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union (EU). In the immediate aftermath, many small to midsized enterprises (SMEs), were concerned about the level of red tape and legislation required, as well as how free trade borders would be affected. While the UK’s choice to leave the EU did not result in the massive fallout predicted by many, it gave businesses the opportunity to evaluate their operations and consider how they could become more competitive in a more unpredictable market.

Staying Competitive in an Uncertain Market

Retail giants like Clinton’s Cards, British Banana Republic, and Staples have closed many of their stores, while other stores such as the Gap are under review due to low performance. In an uncertain economy, it follows that businesses need to pivot early, and it's technology like enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions that arm them to pursue effective new strategies.
Staving off competitive threats mean finding new ways of providing customer value. Following Brexit, businesses with solutions like SAP Business One provided greater insight into customer buying behaviour. Anticipating the needs of customers is one way to maintain brand loyalty; differentiating a business on greater customer service.
