Solarsoft Launches Business Process Manager

Solarsoft is pleased to announce the launch of a new software module that provides fully integrated workflow capability to its Tropos ERP software.

Basingstoke, UK 9 December 2011 -   Process manufactures are under continual pressure to respond to quicker delivery lead times, reduce costs and improve efficiencies.  Even the most functional ERP solution needs human input to act on warnings or alert suppliers, employees or customers to take action.

Solarsoft's Business Process Manager (BPM) delivers a flexible and practical automation capability that enables your company and your supply chain to seize opportunities as they present themselves, or to be alerted of possible issues before they develop into a potentially costly problem.

Solarsoft Business Process Manageris a graphical workflow tool that enables creation, operation and maintenance of any number of automated processes both within and outside the ERP environment.  Its capabilities include:

• Workflows- linked events with rules and decisions (e.g. purchase order authorisation)
• Information requests - automated receiving and processing of requests and actions (e.g. enquiries on credit status or processing orders via email)
• Integrating data from disparate systems (e.g. new product specification databases).
• Advanced business alerts - critical business events triggered from Tropos (e.g. notification of stock approaching out of date, or outstanding purchase orders)
• Document automation - production and publishing of documents (e.g. Tropos reports and messaging to email or SMS)
• Web content publishing - automated pushing of data to websites and intranets (e.g. stock price changes)

Solarsoft BPM's integration with Tropos ensures that whether the need is to push data to users in your supply chain, to provide an "out of hours" service, or to process actions within Tropos itself, automated workflows can remove the need for user intervention. Potential problems can be resolved before they escalate, and opportunities for increased efficiencies can be grasped during the brief window in which they may be achievable.

Solarsoft BPM is an exciting addition to the capabilities of Tropos, our flagship ERP for process manufacturers. Please contact your Solarsoft Account Director, Kevin Magee, to learn more about BPM and see some examples of how its capabilities are already benefitting Tropos customers.
