Solarsoft earns Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC) certification for mixed-mode manufacturing enterprise resource planning solutions (ERP)
Toronto, ON - July
26, 2012 - Solarsoft Business Systems, a leading provider of
enterprise software and IT services to manufacturers worldwide, is
pleased to announce that Solarsoft's enterprise resource planning
system (ERP) for process manufacturing, Solarsoft Tropos, has been
certified by Technology Evaluation Centers' (TEC) ERP Evaluation
Center.
Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC) helps private- and
public-sector organizations choose the best enterprise software
solutions for their unique business needs-quickly, impartially, and
cost-effectively. TEC Certification verifies that Solarsoft Tropos
supports industry-specific standard business processes chosen by
TEC analysts, and that TEC analysts have reviewed Tropos RFI data
against known benchmarks.
Solarsoft Tropos is an ERP system for medium-sized process
manufacturers to connect processes throughout the business. A wide
variety of food and beverage processors, pharmaceutical, health
care, cosmetics, and mills and metal processing businesses,
distributors of recipe-based products, as well as businesses with
both process and discrete manufacturing requirements can use the
system for managing everyday activities.
Tropos was built from the ground up for process manufacturing,
unlike competitive products that were originally designed for
discrete manufacturing and then modified for process
manufacturing.
The capabilities of Solarsoft Tropos were confirmed during TEC
certification sessions and Tropos was certified in TEC's ERP for
mixed-mode manufacturing model. Besides specializing in batch
manufacturing of recipe-based products, Tropos can also be
differentiated from its competitors as:
- capable of providing many process manufacturing-related
standard functions, such as attribute processing, catch weight, and
multiple packaging configurations
- naturally supporting by- and co-products along with accurate
costing
- easily integrated with third-party applications and with
factory devices and machines
- offering embedded quality control capabilities within the
entire application
- providing total item and components traceability.
"Solarsoft's Tropos software is a strong competitor in the ERP
for mixed-mode manufacturing space, and this was clearly evident
during the certification process," stated TEC Research Analyst
Aleksey Osintsev. "As the certification report shows, the software
outperforms its industry rivals, including large and well-known
tier-one and tier-two vendors, in the functional areas of human
resource management, process manufacturing management, inventory
management, and quality management."
"Its broad functionality, easy-to-understand and work with
system design, and user-friendly interface along with its focus on
compliance and traceability make Solarsoft Tropos ERP a very
competitive enterprise software for the targeted business size and
industry."
"Although Solarsoft Tropos focuses on manufacturing and
distribution activities, its financials and human resources
functionality are supported via built-in integration with Solarsoft
partners' solutions Coda Financials from UNIT4 and human resource
management and payroll solutions from Mitrefinch Ltd. Both products
perform very well in their areas and represent a best-of-breed
approach to delivering the required functionality."
