If your ERP is lagging, consider whether excessive customizations or inefficient data handling are the culprits. A system audit can reveal bottlenecks, while optimizing data and upgrading infrastructure may help. However, if performance issues persist, integrating Ivalua for procurement and supplier management can offload complex processes, reducing the strain on your core ERP. Ivalua’s cloud-based platform ensures smoother operations, better data management, and faster processing without overloading your existing system. Have you explored integration options yet?

Identifying long running sqls, Optimize Database Performance by Indexing & Query Optimization: Ensure your database queries are optimized and indexed properly to reduce processing time. Regularly archive old data. Perform routine maintenance, such as reindexing and updating statistics. Consider hardware and database upgrades. Overly complex customizations can slow down the system. Simplify or refactor code where possible. Schedule large data processes (e.g., reports, reconciliations) during off-peak hours.

A retail client’s ERP slowed down during peak hours, causing checkout delays. Instead of blindly upgrading servers, we first analyzed database queries - found unnecessary loops bogging down performance. We optimized indexing, batched background tasks and removed redundant computations. For example, a real-time stock check was replaced with a cached update every 10 minutes, balancing accuracy and speed. Fixing ERP lag isn’t about just adding power - it’s about smart tuning, ensuring efficiency without overloading the system.

Here’s how to fix it: - Audit customizations – Remove outdated or redundant custom features. - Streamline workflows – Simplify overly complex processes within the ERP. - Optimize data loads – Archive old data, reduce batch jobs. - Evaluate integration points – Fix third-party app slowdowns.
