Enterprise Resource Planning Software for Small Businesses.
“Designed for those who are expert in their business, not in accountancy.”

1. The Application
The application has been designed with the user in mind in order to get the business up and running as quickly as possible and with a minimum of technical accounting or IT knowledge – it does not require any specialist software to be installed on PCs or workstations, nor any specialist in-house IT administration. Our aim is to give smaller businesses the same potential to improve productivity, operating efficiencies, and therefore competitiveness, that the very best large ERP systems have to offer, and at a very affordable price.
And there has been no skimping on functionality: the application includes full sales order processing (‘SOP’), purchase order processing (‘POP’), materials requirement planning (‘MRP’), capacity planning/ works order scheduling, accounting and payroll.
Yet despite its extensive functionality, the application has been designed for ease of use so that it is always working for you, the user, and not vice versa.
Based around an industry standard SQL database, this ERP solution requires an Internet Browser only (Mozilla Firefox preferred) to operate, and can therefore be accessed from any location making it ideal for multi site, remote access, and flexible home/ office working.
It is simple to give access to your system to remote/ home workers, and even adviser(s) and accountant(s) from their offices, and you can control which parts of the system any user can see and use.
Whilst designed for the SME sector, being web based the application is highly scalable and offers a very real ‘future proofed’ solution to any growing business.
