VantagePoint (ERP)

We understand that ERP has an image problem. ERP is expensive, complex and time consuming - This is the common perception and true for most of the ERP solutions that are focused on large corporations. For this reason the entire SME sector has been neglected and although small and medium business wants to implement an ERP solution for their business and process automation , they are unable to afford it.
Connect Seven Solution's ERP solution, known as VantagePoint has its primary client focus in the SME sector. We have developed a solution where modules can be deployed in minutes, trained in few hours and go live in a day. Yes, just in a day! The solution has been customised for various business verticals. Retail, food and beverage, manufacturing, service providers, tourism, hospitality, education, transport and logistics are some of the verticals for which specialised automation solution is available.
The Enterprise version of the VantagePoint solution designed to large corporations that requires heavy customisation, complex automation and heavy integration. The agility of VantagePoint enables us to provide maximum customisation, seamless migration from legacy system that is scalable and robust.
VantagePoint code base is taken from Openbravo open-source project. All the open-source modules of Openbravo are available and customisation to local Malaysian and other client requirements are built on top of the open-source code. Professional modules of Openbravo are not available in VantagePoint. Production Management, Project and Service Management modules of Openbravo are not available in VantagePoint, but they are built separately. Quality Control, Bar-code generation, Human Resource and Payroll Management (based on Malaysian regulations), various Accounting features, Material Forecasting etc are VantagePoint modules that are not available in Openbravo. However, these VantagePoint modules are built in a way that they can be installed in any Community or Professional installation of Openbravo.
Comprehensive
Broad, streamlined functionality
Innovative
True web-based open architecture
Cost-Effective
High value at predictable low cost
Key Features
AlertsNotifications can be programmed to alert the user whenever a certain condition - for example when inventory is low, a customer has overdue payments, etc. - is met. These Alerts are then made clearly visible to user as soon as they log in to the application.
Linked items
From any record in the application, users can access any other record in the application that is linked to it, as long as their permissions allow for it. Finding related invoices, contacts or any specific shipping receipt is very easy. With VantagePoint, your users are always empowered with a 360 degree view of all the data in the application.
Dimensional Reporting
End users easily create customised report formats based on multiple fields and categories in order to extract critical integrated company data. New reports can be added to VantagePoint in as little as a few hours. Easy access to information is a critical component of a successful ERP implementation, and VantagePoint builds it right in.
Compatibility and Sharing
Export a single file or a collection of files to Excel, CSV, or PDF directly from the application. Exported files can also be attached to any file in the application for easy retrieval and management.
Email
With 1 click, open an email window to send information or attached files to your customers or suppliers directly from VantagePoint. Unique sender email addresses can be configured for each user in the application.
Keyboard navigation
On top of being a web-based application, VantagePoint has been designed so that it can be fully operated from the keyboard, without using the mouse. Power users can save time and move fast as they perform daily routines.
Easily configurable
VantagePoint understands that your business is unique and we have designed our product so that it is easy to extend and configure to be a perfect fit for your requirements. Thanks to our revolutionary model driven-development architecture, you can tailor existing functionality and business rules, as well as add new functionality without any programming. VantagePoint can help you to differentiate yourself from your competition.
Modular
Easily create third-party modules or plugins; or browse the directory and select shared functionality created by other users to install. Shared third-party functionality includes additional reports, connectors, product integrations, and content packs such as tax codes and product specifications. This approach provides access to a greater number of functionalities, whilst greatly reducing implementation costs of VantagePoint.
Roles
Users with different profiles can access VantagePoint with roles that are tailored to their work habits and that secure the amount of information they see and change. With a role, you can control which screens are accessible from the menu, which an organisation's users can see and they can access it either in edit or read-only mode. Language and other system defaults can also be configured for each individual user.
Scalability
VantagePoint can be deployed in a single server or on a cluster of them, serving up to thousands of users. Servers can be located on-premises, on the data centre, or in the cloud - for example in Amazon EC2.
Multi
Multi-language, multi-currency, multi-accounting schema, multi-organisation, etc. VantagePoint is prepared to be deployed in multi-national and multi-client environments.
Auditing
As a business software solution, any record in the system can be audited and traced to the user who created it, or the latest user to edit it.
