ERP project is dependent on number of modules to be implemented and requirements to be accomplished. Usually, an ERP implementation gets delayed due to failure in understanding two things--- “Must have” and “Nice to have” aspects. Companies that aim to install ERP, struggle between identifying and prioritizing the “Must have” and “Nice to have” aspects. Implementation time is reduced if a company is decisive in what they want implemented. Focus Softnet, with the help of proven best practices has been successful in implementing an ERP application within 90 days.

Yes. Focus Softnet has been successful in providing integrations with 3rd party applications and with external modules (customer specific business interface). It is a fact that the integration requirements are not generic, since the solution and the architecture of each product to be integrated varies. Focus Softnet, performs business process study of the application to be integrated, and designs the connectors that enables the flow of data. We have technical know-how and expertise to handle simple to complex integrations.

1.Integrate financial information: As the CEO tries to understand the company’s overall performance, he/she may need to look at reports from various departments to get the true picture, and the information may vary from each department, giving conflicting results. Finance has its own set of revenue numbers, Sales have their own version; different business units may each have their own versions of how much they contributed to revenue. FOCUS ERP creates a single version of actual data from each department that cannot be questioned because everyone is using the same system. 2. Integrate customer order information: ERP is a system where customer orders are tracked from beginning to end, from the time a customer service representative receives the order, to the loading dock ships the merchandise, to finance sending the invoice. By having access to this critical information in one software system, rather than scattered among many different systems that cannot communicate with one another, companies can keep track of orders more easily, and coordinate manufacturing, inventory and shipping among many different locations simultaneously. 3. Standardize and speed up manufacturing processes: — ERP systems come with standard methods for automating some of the steps of a manufacturing process. Standardizing those processes and using a single, integrated computer system can save time, increase productivity and reduce headcount. FOCUS ERP systems are designed to be used by discrete and process manufacturing companies 4. Reduce inventory: ERP helps the manufacturing process flow more smoothly, and it improves visibility of the order fulfilment process inside the company. This leads to reduced inventories of raw materials (work-in-progress inventory), and it helps users better plan deliveries to customers, reducing the finished good inventory at the warehouses and shipping docks. 5. Standardize HR Information - Especially in companies with multiple business units, HR department may not have a unified, simple method for tracking employees time and communicating with them about benefits and services. With Focus ERP, all the standard and client specific issues can be addressed because it has the facility to implement any complex / customized procedures and induct multiple business validations.

FOCUS ERP is designed to meet the requirements of small to mid-size businesses. We offer the most cost-effective solution and the quickest ROI in the industry. The cost of ERP depends on several variables, such as: the number of divisions it will serve, the number of modules installed, number of users, number of locations, the quantity of integration that will be required with existing systems and data migrations. Cost of an ERP application can be bifurcated to 4 important segments: a) Product Cost b) Licensing c) Implementation Cost d) Customization costs. The Total Cost of Ownership depends on the above-mentioned factors.

ROI normally varies from client to client with reference to their business activities and the effective implementation. Based on our current study of our client base, the typical ROI period is twelve to eighteen months.

Focus provides access of its database for both reporting and accepting orders from website through its API. Focus supports suppliers by providing inventory list and order list and customers by acceptance and reporting of Sales Order Status. Let us clarify that Focus in itself is not an e-commerce application.
