The latest version of Workwise’sOpens a new window core ERP system has been released, building on its predecessor with an updated interface designed to provide users with a more intuitive, seamless experience and new security features.
The upgrade has been designed for better navigation and productivity with companies in mind. ERP 10.1, as the platform is known, includes improved data analytics and security enhancements that address concerns among some users of ERP software. The software integrates and manages companies’ core business and management functions.
Workwise ERP is one of the company’s two flagship products, the other its CRM system. Both are available in cloud or on-premises versions.
Workwise ERP offers made-to-order, repetitive and mixed mode ERP solutions to manufacturers, helping to shorten cycle times and optimize manufacturing information, supply chain management and manufacturing and execution planning. The platform enhances operations by taking time out of the busiest processes and increasing value in products and services.
The new version of the Workwise ERP includes a start-up menu and navigation enhancements that let users collaborate more efficiently. A workbench graphic lets users access new icons, a cleaner tool bar and other graphics. The enhancement sports a generally updated and more modern look for the overall software package.
Workwise has also addressed the search functionality of its ERP flagship, which allows users now to open other applications as part of a query, including detail forms in a new tab. There is also scope to create pivot tables and graphs that can be saved to the updated dashboard, letting users interact with 10.1 in ways that are easier to comprehend than previously.
Wayne Wedell, the CEO of Workwise, says the enhancements to the software were intended to combine both functional improvements with an enriched usability experience.
Other features now available with 10.1 include enhancements to the solidworks material list and bypass workspace, plus a quick add-or-delete feature in the Workbench. Users can now cross-reference companion parts and view credit card flag and history details.
Licensing has also been revisited: Workwise has included a new feature that allows users to eliminate PR/Abra licensing for exports to OptimumOpens a new window or CougarOpens a new window .
Because Workwise also develops CRM software alongside its ERP offering, it is able to offer preconfigured integration between its two platforms, a level of interaction it claims is not available from other ERP software suppliers. This can potentially save firms looking at both functions considerable time and money.
