Businesses often don’t realize how important it is to invest in technology, like hardware and software, for their growth. Instead, they tend to hold onto their basic accounting solutions or patchwork approaches, or even outdated legacy ERP software, until they are faced with an urgent need for change.

A high-quality Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution is vital for any business, as it forms the foundation of the organization. A comprehensive and seamlessly integrated ERP system enables the smooth flow of information across various departments and functions. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in optimizing business processes and enhancing overall operations. An ERP solution includes many different processes, such as finance, HR, warehouse management, manufacturing, CRM, order management, marketing, sales, and project management.

Ausuma is a reliable provider of cloud-based ERP solutions that can benefit businesses of all sizes, especially small businesses. Ausuma ERP offers comprehensive cloud-based solutions that are specifically designed to streamline and optimize the operations of small businesses. Their platform offers all the essential tools for effectively managing and expanding your business, despite having limited resources and a small team.

In conversation with Mike DiChello, the Founder and CEO of Ausuma

Q. What was the series of events that led to the founding of Ausuma?

Since our establishment in February, Ausuma Cloud ERP has achieved notable recognition, garnering awards across various categories, including innovation, supply chain, and technology. Our success stems from our focused approach to serving the SMB markets, as Ausuma ERP was purpose-built for this demographic.

We take pride in delivering a complete software solution that helps improve our customers’ daily operations and keeps track of all aspects of their business effectively. Ausuma stands committed to empowering our clients, enabling them to optimize their processes and drive success.

Q. What challenges has Ausuma encountered over the years that have shaped the company into what it is today?

When we embarked on the journey to develop a world-class cloud ERP from scratch, we encountered a multitude of challenges. One of the primary hurdles was creating an enterprise-level ERP tailored for small businesses, delivered via the cloud. We aimed to integrate real-time analytics and processes into the fabric of daily business operations. Our biggest challenge was to create a cloud ERP system that could compete with industry leaders such as SAP or Oracle while still being affordable for small businesses.

To address these challenges, we meticulously crafted modules that were specifically aligned with the essential needs of small businesses. We focus on offering solutions that provide value, making sure our clients invest only in necessary functionalities without unnecessary costs. I take immense pride in presenting Ausuma ERP as ‘The Working Class ERP.’

Every morning, my team and I wake up with a singular mission: to ensure the happiness and success of our clients. This unwavering commitment drives us forward, propelling us to continually innovate and refine Ausuma ERP to exceed our clients’ expectations.

Q. What sets Ausuma apart in the cloud-based ERP Solutions market? How does this difference benefit the company’s clients?

At Ausuma ERP, we’ve strategically developed our platform as a cloud-based solution, leveraging numerous advantages over traditional on-premise ERPs. One of the most significant benefits is the difference in investment structure between cloud and on-premise solutions. Ausuma helps clients move from expensive on-premise systems that require large upfront investments (CAPEX) to a more adaptable pay-as-you-go model (OPEX). This shift is pivotal, especially considering Ausuma ERP’s Software as a Service (SaaS) offering.

The advantages for our clients are manifold. Firstly, they gain unparalleled accessibility, as Ausuma ERP can be utilized from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Moreover, the burden of updates and fixes is alleviated as Ausuma seamlessly manages these processes behind the scenes. Clients can access Ausuma ERP from any device they want, like a computer, tablet, or smartphone. This empowerment enables them to conduct their work efficiently and effectively, regardless of their location or time zone.

Q. Could you provide information about how Ausuma provides an all-in-one ERP solution specifically designed for small businesses?

Ausuma ERP currently offers two distinct models tailored to meet the needs of small businesses and small business manufacturers. Our all-in-one ERP solution is purpose-built and dedicated to serving these two sectors specifically.

Our platform provides SMB clients with a range of modules including accounting, HR, sales, and shipping. This integrated approach empowers our customers to manage all aspects of their operations seamlessly within our platform.

Similarly, for our small business manufacturing clientele, our specialized modules cater to the unique requirements of the manufacturing industry. From order management to production completion, our ERP equips manufacturers with the tools they need to streamline their daily operations.

While many other ERP systems offer similar functionalities for manufacturing, what sets Ausuma ERP apart is our commitment to customization. We believe in customizing our solutions to fit the unique needs and preferences of every business. We focus on giving customers what they want instead of assuming what they might need. This customer-centric approach underscores our dedication to delivering value and driving success for our clients.
