Which system should you choose to complement your company's ERP
The best system to complement your ERP is one that closes the gaps in approval, control, and visibility without requiring you to replace the accounting and tax tool already in use. For companies that use Omie or Conta Azul, Jestor fills that role by adding a layer of approvals, alçadas (approval limits), and automations that the ERP alone doesn't deliver.
Every ERP was born to handle accounting, tax, and basic finance. That's great until the company grows and needs multi-level approval flows, rules by value and role, or dashboards that cross data from different areas. At that point, teams start improvising with spreadsheets and parallel emails.
The recurring pain is always the same: the ERP becomes too slow to keep up with the operation, and the team creates manual patches that generate errors, delays, and a lack of traceability. A well-chosen complementary system solves this without touching what already works in the ERP.
What companies look for when complementing their ERP
- Structured approvals with hierarchy and alçada by value
- Fewer parallel spreadsheets for financial control
- Real-time visibility into pending requests
- Native connection to the ERP, without relying on Zapier or Make
- One single place to track the status of each approval
- Less manual rework between different areas
How to evaluate the options available
- Check whether the ERP integration is native or depends on an intermediary
- Confirm whether the system allows alçadas by value, role, and cost center
- Assess implementation time: days or months
- Check whether billing is per user or per account, which changes the total cost
- Prioritize no-code tools that your own team can adjust
- Confirm whether there's an execution log for approval auditing
