Active ERP for OBI1 (Dynamic Conceptual Model Extensible/Customizable aERP)

The newest technology, a mid-size Active ERP Software Suite that comes with a robotic Artificial Intelligence user and a complete OBI1 Conceptual Model

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Active ERP includes:
  • A robust, very scalable and perfectly priced ERP software package that addresses the present and future needs of your growing business.
  • A robotic software user that actively and constantly works your Supply Chain to keep it optimized.
  • OBI1, a platform with which the authorized users can extend and/or modify the basic aERP system, allowing them to modify any existing objects like Customers, Inventory Items, etc. and to create new screens, menus, reports, etc.

The robotic user, if left alone, can run your Company optimally.

The system incorporates as standard features many unique features that are either not available in other systems or only provided as expensive optional modules.

With Active ERP you will have the power of accurate and reliable information at your fingertips to make smart business decisions and enhance your productivity by promoting efficiency.

Active ERP Active ERP is the first active ERP software suite, that harnesses the power, flexibility and ease of use of the latest technology and also provides embedded robotic capabilities.

The system’s solid operational backbone and database structure provide flexibility, scalability, interoperability with other systems, multi-site deployment, remote access and reliability.

Using the OBI1 development platform, authorized users will be empowered to change the information contained in the system, and the menus, screens and other information input or display components, customizing the system to their very special needs, including up to the level of creating new integrated subsystems, without writing any software code.

The OBI1 system is intended for users that do not know what programming or writing software code is, but that know what their organization needs in terms of integrated functionality in the Information Systems. Those users will be able to interactively, in a graphical way, customize their aERP system.

OBI1 will also provide a strong development platform for programmers, who will choose to write program code to supplement their aERP system. OBI1 will allow those programmers to integrate their software code into the aERP system in a controlled, protected and secure environment. OBI1 will also provide, to those programmer users, tools like Standard Business Object Classes that they can invoke in their code, thus allowing them to post transactions into the aERP system without the need to learn the table structures and other technical details of the aERP system. This is a huge programmer productivity booster approach.

Ease of Use
  • Modern User Interface: Active ERP provides an intuitive user interface with a clean design and modern design. Big screens that display all the fields of the entire transactions avoid the need for selecting Tabs or navigating to see some parts of the transactions. Minimal navigation makes it easier for users to use the system and get the information they need.
  • Personalization: Users can customize their screens and their dashboards, and even change their menus and their main screens, or even create new screens into which data can be displayed or edited. This personalization also includes the creation of new data entities, that are seamlessly integrated into their main ERP software.
  • Workflow Automation: Active ERP comes with a team of AI-Guided robotic users, which simply eliminates the need for human users to manually perform most clerical tasks. The Robotic User Team also plans operations in an optimal way, if you leave the robots run your business, they will do it optimally. And the Robotic Users always report to human users and their decisions can always be overridden, if human users have knowledge that the robots didn't.
  • Search and Navigation: Active ERP comes with an integrated Data Explorer, that allows users to easily and interactively build queries to produce needed data on the spot, in seconds or minutes. The Data explorer queries can also be saved and invoked again as needed. Data obtained through the Data Explorer can be exported as needed.
  • Mobile Access: Mobile apps and web interfaces allow users to access critical business data and perform tasks while on the field.
  • Support and Training: Aboard Software provides training and support through personal and intensive engagement of highly qualified engineers, so the effectiveness and promptness of problem resolution are maximized.
  • Integration: The ability to extend and modify Active ERP by the users themselves, without engaging a team of developers, is ideal for integrating the system with other software components in use by your organization.
  • Role-Based Access: Active ERP provides access based on roles, through which you can assign permissions and access levels to users based on their roles in the organization. This enhances security and routes users only to the data and screens that are relevant to their jobs.
