ERP
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is the category of integrated business management software that runs the operational backbone of an enterprise. Core modules: finance & accounting, HR & payroll, procurement, inventory, sales, and (for manufacturers) production planning & manufacturing execution.
ERP for logistics-adjacent businesses (freight forwarders, NVOCC, 3PL, manufacturers, traders) requires industry-specific extensions beyond generic ERP — landed-cost calculation, multi-currency multi-entity, EDI to ports/carriers/customs, and integration with WMS/TMS. WHIZERP is purpose-built for goods-moving businesses, integrating natively with WHIZCargo (freight) and WHIZMarine (maritime).
