Marketing - Computers: Software / tipi di soluzioni informatiche
Italian term or phrase: software gestionale
Ciao, vorrei sapere se esiste un termine per definire quei tipi di software che aiutano nella gestione di un'azienda, tipo software per fare fatturazione, software per controllare lo stock in magazzino, etc.

Non ho un grosso background, è una lista di servizi offerti da una impresa.

Thanks a LOT!

Note that the KoG gives me "management" as an option. Can you confirm if it's really the same?

management software
Explanation:
I'd be careful about using "enterprise management" because that term generally refers to complex systems used in managing the *entire* organization (and so is actually a more specific type of system, whereas the term "software gestionale" is more of a generic term used to refer to any type of software used in managing a specific (or broad) aspect of a business. In English, we tend to be more specific and add something before "management software", so we get "enterprise management", "project management", "customer relationship management", "IT management", etc., but if you need to mirror the generic Italian term, "management software" should be understandable enough.

FWIW
