Introduction

ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning and is the most common software being used by small, mid and big enterprises. In the 1990s, when ERP software started building its modules, they were mainly designed keeping big industries in mind. After the digital and cloud revolution, the cloud ERPs were planned to keep both mid and small industries by introducing a pay-per-use pricing model. There are more than 1000 ERP software solutions in the market, and it gets tough to choose the right one for our business. This article will discuss the top 15 best ERP software solutions available in the market in 2022.
