A learning management system is used to provide training and development programs to employees. It helps to ensure that their skills are up to date and that the services you provide are NDIS compliant. A comprehensive system will offer additional functionality including training goals, target-setting, skills monitoring and qualification compliance.

Customer Relationship Management – CRM
A customer relationship management system is used to track and manage all interactions with customers and suppliers. It is also intended to manage sales and marketing contacts. It is like a client management system but is business oriented rather than client service delivery focussed. There are CRMs designed specifically for not-for-profit organisations that include modules to manage volunteers, events, members, etc. This type of software is a very powerful way to manage and analyse business relationships.

Enterprise Resource Planning – ERP
An enterprise resource planning system is used to run your entire organisation. It incorporates all the functions of a customer relationship management system plus integrated modules for accounting and payroll. ERPs are best suited for large organisations with complex business requirements.
