RMS software typically consists of multiple enterprise software modules that are individually purchased, based on what best meets the specific needs and technical capabilities of the organization. Each RMS module is focused on one area of business processes, such as product development or marketing. A business can use ERP software to manage back-office activities and tasks including the following: Distribution process management, supply chain management, services knowledge base, configure, prices, improve accuracy of financial data, facilitate better project planning, automate employee life-cycle, standardize critical business procedures, reduce redundant tasks, assess business needs, accounting and financial applications, lower purchasing costs, manage human resources and payroll. Some of the most common RMS modules include those for product planning, material purchasing, inventory control, distribution, accounting, marketing, finance and HR. As the RMS methodology has become more popular, software applications have emerged to help business managers implement RMS in to other business activities and may incorporate modules for CRM and business intelligence, presenting it as a single unified package.
