Hard on the heels of the K3, McGuffie Brunton merger, the new ERP software entity has released an upgrade to its latest version of Syspro 6.0 ERP, focusing on user interface improvements that spread the system’s use throughout a manufacturing business.
Syspro Office Integration is the big deal – now giving users secure access to the system’s database from Microsoft Word and Excel. It means that anyone within the user organisation can get remote access to Syspro data from their own desktop applications.
And there also new modules, including: Trade Promotions, for managing prices, promotions and rebates; Contact Management, which integrates with Outlook; and Factory Scheduling, already released as the Preactor scheduler integration.
Says K3 McGuffie Brunton managing director Howard Joseph: “Continual investment in Syspro ERP is allowing us to keep in step with our customers’ needs as well as enabling us to lead the market by example, with innovative solutions.
“By adopting standard Microsoft technology we have not only made it much easier for customers to gain full benefit of their ERP investment, we can now also give them access to Syspro information using secure web services through familiar spreadsheet and word processing applications.
“The new calendar, styled on Outlook, is an example where we are introducing a common user interface, thereby enabling users to become quickly proficient in its use.”
