shERPa Methodology

Our Project Process Methodologies are defined specifically for shERPa. We have defined the Process methodologies based on the shERPa system from our experience. The below flow will expose more about our Process Methodology.

shERPa Advantages

shERPa provides many unique advantages that other ERP solutions fail to provide:

Fast Implementation without Binding Decisions

Many ERP solutions take weeks or months to implement, but not shERPa. Using templates to tailor the software to your specific needs, shERPa can be implemented in a matter of hours. Also, shERPa does not require any irreversible decisions to be made during implementation. You can change everything later, including your chart of accounts, business calendar, or even the accounting currency or accounting principles. This capability allows you to go into production fast, and adapt your system to the changing business environment whenever needed.

Html and Windows User Interface

shERPa offers two parallel user interfaces

A high performance Windows application with a rich user interface allowing high speed data entry.
2. A browser-based DHTML web-based interface designed so the user can reach the application from anywhere on the Internet.

Both interfaces are generated using the same rules with the same look and feel, while providing the advantages of their separate platforms.

User Interface Personalization

shERPa uses context sensitive personalization, allowing you to see only what you need to see. You can rearrange entry forms, hide fields, change colors and fonts, change labels to add customer specific help and hints, and much more, making the application easy to use and decreasing the learning curve.

Rules based, "Safe-Fail" Architecture

shERPa was not designed on the assumption that everything will always work perfectly. Humans make mistakes, systems fail, and every program has its occasional idiosyncrasies. But shERPa allows the application to fail safely. Failed transactions can be resubmitted or reprocessed, correcting any errors that may occur.

Truly Integrated Application

Get ready for fully integrated front and back office functionality. Now your customer relationship management can be integrated with traditional ERP with no interfaces, time-consuming processes, or time delays.

Designed for the Global Marketplace

Today's marketplace is a global marketplace, and any small to medium sized enterprises not prepared to do business there is missing out on major financial growth opportunities. That is why shERPa pushed ahead of the competition to bring you a business application for the global marketplace. Whether you need to provide additional languages for customer/vendor interaction, or accept foreign currencies, shERPa has the capabilities to take your business into the global marketplace. No other business application comes close to providing the kind of advantages that shERPa has made easy-to-use and implement in its open source software.

Inbuilt Business Intelligence and Reporting
