Challenge
Our client is a South African business management software company thriving to improve business efficiency and gain profitability through its high-quality ERP solutions and accounting software. Their services are aimed to develop, serve, and promote business management software with their existing system. The client also offers multiple desktop applications but not with advanced features that users demand nowadays. So they decided to develop an integrated business software that provides a consolidated view of information scattered across different departments with the help of TatvaSoft.
Key challenges of the project were:
- To create a desktop-based integrated business solution catering to the needs of both single and multi-branch organizations.
- A solution that streamlines all the processes across various departments in an organization.
- Consolidation of reports to merge several branches and warehouses.
- Dynamic report builder with a robust SQL query builder that allows the user to design and generate the report on the fly.
- Approval process which lets the user know the status of each file and notifies in case of any pending approvals.
- The ERP system supports multi-branch and multi-level user authentication and authorization.
