Is Salesforce an ERP?

Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’ve been exploring enterprise systems, you’ve probably heard the question:

“Is Salesforce an ERP?”

The short answer is: Not by itself.

But with the right partner, it absolutely can be.

What Salesforce Is and What It’s Not

Salesforce is the world’s #1 customer relationship management (CRM) platform. It's built to manage sales, service, and marketing operations.

What it doesn’t do natively is handle back-office functions like:

Inventory

Financials

Procurement

Manufacturing

Logistics

Those are the core responsibilities of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.

So no, Salesforce isn’t an ERP platform out of the box—but it offers something arguably more powerful:

A foundation to build ERP natively in the cloud, connected to your CRM, and highly customizable.

Enter Axolt: The ERP Salesforce Was Missing

This is where Axolt ERP comes in.
