PEARS: Centralizes SME operations for efficiency
Project Overview
PEARS is a comprehensive ERP solution designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It unifies critical business functions such as accounting, sales, inventory management, HR, and merchandising onto a single platform. By doing so, PEARS streamlines operations, enhances efficiency, and supports business growth.
