Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have evolved from mere transaction management tools to strategic platforms that enhance organizational adaptability and decision-making. However, their effectiveness is increasingly tested in environments characterized by geodynamic instability—particularly coastal regions that face frequent disruptions from erosion, seismic activity, and climate-induced flooding. This study examines the intersection of ERP system functionality and organizational resilience within such volatile geophysical contexts. Drawing on case analyses from coastal enterprises and municipal infrastructure bodies, the research investigates how integrated data flows, predictive analytics, and cloud-based continuity modules enable faster recovery and real-time risk mitigation. The findings suggest that organizations deploying adaptive ERP architectures—incorporating geospatial intelligence, supply-chain redundancy, and multi-tier contingency frameworks—demonstrate significantly higher operational continuity following geodynamic events. The study proposes a resilience-oriented ERP model that aligns technological infrastructure with environmental risk profiles, offering a blueprint for sustainable enterprise governance in vulnerable coastal economies.
