PR Friend Press Releases

HairMax have developed a software programme for hair and beauty salons and spas. The programme is very comprehensive and takes you right from the first point of contact with your client all the way to your point of sale. It has many features that you would expect like the appointment book, but one unique feature that is the Client Queue. Client queue lists all clients that are due to the salon and logs them when they arrive. If stylists are running late it is easy to see on the screen so this can be managed effectively. When the client has been seen and is leaving the salon, client queue will take the receptionist directly to the POS page. From there any retail sales can be added and the client can be rebooked. This feature significantly simplifies the ease of use of the software, saves time and makes training of staff easier.

hairmaxsalonsoftware.com is designed to make running a salon easier. It is not only the customer facing applications that achieve this, but the management reports and the ability to store accounts and payroll are significant applications that are necessary when running a business.

Hairmaxsalonsoftware.com is so confident of satisfaction with its product that they offer a 365 day, 100% money back guarantee.

HairMax was a pioneer in the salon software industry many years ago but as they have evolved they have been able to maintain a product that is able to continually meet the needs of their clients.

What is ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning?

Enterprise Resource Planning is a company-wide IT system designed to coordinate all business processes, resources, and information, such as manufacturing, inventory, sales, marketing, accounting, finance, logistics and administration. ERP originated as an extension of MRP (material requirement planning) and is now recognized as a business solution covering all basic functions of an enterprise, regardless of the organization’s business, size or charter. Non-manufacturing businesses, non-profit organizations and governments now all use ERP systems.

Enterprise resource planning software, or ERP, doesn’t live up to its acronym. Forget about planning—it doesn’t do much of that—and forget about resource, a throwaway term. But remember the enterprise part. This is ERP’s true ambition. It attempts to integrate all departments and functions across a company onto a single computer system that can serve all those different departments’ particular needs.

That is a tall order, building a single software program that serves the needs of people in finance as well as it does the people in human resources and in the warehouse. Each of those departments typically has its own computer system optimized for the particular ways that the department does its work. But ERP combines them all together into a single, integrated software program that runs off a single database so that the various departments can more easily share information and communicate with each other.

Today the scope of this software has improved dramatically. Even though ERP systems may appear to be more complex and costly, but every business segments are increasingly finding it compulsory to empower in such technology in order to remain competitive. These days many medium and big companies are implementing ERP Software systems, but however you should understand very clearly that implementing ERP software is not an easy job, even smaller projects are extra cost effective.

ERP is a business solution, a business initiative that should be able to provide the company solutions because it will be able to integrate different processes of the company and the corresponding data to one system. So can you just imagine the problems that can happen during the transition stage? You should be able to expect the problems so you will be able to make back-up plans or contingency plans to support the entire business especially the areas that will be affected.

ERP’s best hope for demonstrating value is as a sort of battering ram for improving the way your company takes a customer order and processes it into an invoice and revenue—otherwise known as the order fulfillment process. That is why ERP is often referred to as back-office software. It doesn’t handle the up-front selling process (although most ERP vendors have developed CRM software or acquired pure-play CRM providers that can do this); rather, ERP takes a customer order and provides a software road map for automating the different steps along the path to fulfilling it. When a customer service representative enters a customer order into an ERP system, he has all the information necessary to complete the order (the customer’s credit rating and order history from the finance module, the company’s inventory).

Impact helps in comparing the quotations and thereby placing orders with the most appropriate business associate. Impact helps in tracking the status of the orders and assimilates procurement detail. Impact organizes and maintains detailed vendor information, maintains bid matrix, request quote and compare the same, create purchase orders or generate POs from planned orders, manage requisitions and RFQS, and receive and inspect vendor shipments. Impact also cherishes a module called Sub-Contract enabling to track even the minutest details of any order. Impact successfully unleashes details to import the orders too.

Under manufacturing suite, Impact offers modules that plan and schedule production, enter and track work orders, control shop floor, monitor production status, manage material and equipment capacity, promise deliveries, and track time and attendance. Impact’s efficiency can also be seen in areas viz., generate MRP, CTP and ATP plans on demand, analyze material requirements, control production costs and scheduling, and manage resource efficiency.

Thus, we all know that an ERP Software Company will be able to provide us with what the company needs. We just have to do our part so each and every step will be as seamless and smooth as possible.

Denmark’s online solutions provider TimeLog is looking to capture a larger share of the international online project management market with its innovative time tracking and project management software.

The company has built up a diverse set of solutions targeting different specialties and requirements but all focusing on the basic task of project management, timesheet keeping and time tracking. The objective is to make time-tracking and billing for project time an easy job for any organization.

“We want to build a solution that gives an accurate representation of the time spent on a project so that there is clear representation of the investment. Targeted at commercial enterprise, the system also allows organizations to do billing for the time logged,” said a company spokesperson talking about the software.

The core software from the company is called TimeLog Project, which can be extended with many add-ons like TimeLog CRM, TimeLog Enterprise, TimeLog Help Desk, TimeLog Skills, etc. to suit the specific requirements of a particular organization. The many flavors of TimeLog make it a very flexible software that is ready-made to work in common enterprise situations.

Available online 24 x 7, the software can be accessed through enterprise accounts purchased from the entry-point website – timelog.com. The website also has a free demo section where users can try out all the features of the software without committing themselves to a purchase.

According to the company, TimeLog is distinctive because it is build to be like a complete ERP package in function, but at a price that is accessible to small and medium enterprise.

“Many of the users of TimeLog have companies with just 10 or more employees. These companies have made significant improvements in their project cost estimates by identifying exactly how much time they are spending and discovering the true cost of the project,” said the TimeLog spokesperson.

Developed in Denmark, the company’s primary market has been Danish companies, but the application of the software is universal and as information about TimeLog spreads, new users are coming in from other parts of the world.

The company has recently embarked on a plan to pursue international expansion more aggressively with fresh steps to improve visibility online, and to reach target customers through Internet advertising and by utilizing the new media.

Project Management is one of the toughest challenges for the enterprise.  According to various studies conducted between 1995 and 1998 a huge majority of projects suffered from problems like budget and time overruns and a large number of them failed outright.

Since then due to the development of modern tools and the refinement of project management as a science there has been a significant improvement. According to a study conducted by Standish Group the rate of project success in 1994 was only 16.2 per cent which improved to a dismal 26 per cent in 1998. In 2008, informal estimates say that nearly 50 per cent of all projects are still failing.

Modern tools of project management have made all the difference say industry experts. “Project management today is highly dependent on specialized tools and software. It is impossible to expect to complete highly complex and collaborative projects without the assistance of these tools,” says Ben Gunther, a senior project manager in a software consultancy.

An emerging market for project management software is the SME segment. TimeLog, a new project management tool from a Danish company targets this market and has achieved considerable success with nearly 300 installations already.

“TimeLog offers complete time-tracking and management for projects. The online solution gives medium and small businesses flexible and effective time management solutions for all kinds of projects,” said a company spokesperson.

According to the company, the software provides mini-ERP level functionality for a fraction of the cost of a full-fledged ERP software. Additionally the software is fully scalable, and can be adapted with add-ons to suit enterprises as diverse as consultancies, web development companies, research organizations, IT solution providers, manpower providers, etc. The advanced time-logging capabilities make it possible for project managers to effectively monitor project costs and relate them to resources.

Reflecting the research findings that favor the application of management tools to improve project performance, the companies who make use of TimeLog have reported significant savings in project costs and better performance from resources devoted to the project.

“With TimeLog’s time-tracking and time-sheeting functions it is easy to understand how much the resources are delivering vis-à-vis the time they spend on the project. It is easier to identify which resources perform and which do not. This is a vital requirement to completing a project successfully and on time,” said the TimeLog spokesperson.

EntropySoft, specialist of the ECI market (Enterprise Content Integration), announced that all its connectors are now .NET compliant. By making available its technology to Windows-centric applications, EntropySoft is once more working towards simple, normalized access to all content repositories. This technological step forward reinforces EntropySoft’s strong position as an interoperability leader.

.NET is added to the already supported technologies: Java, Flex and web services. This .NET integration uses a Java – .NET bridge which makes it possible to use the connectors in-process. This makes the connectors much faster than going through web services. The connectors are also lighter in terms of installation, footprint, memory use etc…

All connectors are fully-documented with a reference guide, code samples and contextual help via Microsoft Intellisense. This user-guide is very useful to accelerate the understanding and implementation of EntropySoft technology.

Using the .NET connectors, it is now therefore possible to browse all content repositories and also create a document, modify a version, change permissions, modify metada etc… in a totally .NET environment.

EntropySoft is a connectors factory. EntropySoft’s connectors portfolio consists of more than 30 connectors, the biggest offering of connectors on the market. Recently developed connectors include EMC Documentum, HP TRIM, Oracle UCM, IBM WebSphere Portal Document Manager and Interwoven WorkSite. The plug-and-play EntropySoft connectors list includes major applications such as FileNET P8, Open Text LiveLink, Interwoven TeamSite etc…

Thanks to the sheer number of connectors in the portfolio, interoperability is already a reality for EntropySoft partners. By using a single API, which is the same for all EntropySoft connectors, software vendors and large companies have found the answer to their interoperability requests. Customers no longer need to learn specific programming technologies for each content-centric application, they can access, modify and interact with content through a single technology. EntropySoft therefore becomes a one-stop shopping facility for easy interoperability, on all platforms (Java, .NET, web services).

On top of the read / write connectors, EntropySoft has two technological layers (Content ETL and Content Federation) that can also be OEM’ed to facilitate integration and interoperability.

For the past four years, EntropySoft has acquired valuable knowledge on all popular content-centric systems. This mass of intelligence is put to work on a daily basis in critical business conditions. EntropySoft connectors, Content Federation Server and Content ETL are the first truly interoperable products to be on the market that have been market-tested for years.

EntropySoft brings to software vendors and its technological partners unequalled expertise on most content-centric systems. Apart from its flawless connectors, this daily confrontation with multiple work environments and architecture configurations is especially valued by EntropySoft partners.

On very different markets, the EntropySoft team has built up a wealth of experience, confronting theory and reality everyday. As a consequence, EntropySoft connectors are put to work daily in critical business conditions, and EntropySoft unique in-house developed testing system allows fast implementation of customer-driven connectors improvements. Cross-portfolio testing and validation is applied to all connectors on a day-to-day basis.

The state-of-the-art connectors therefore help customers focus on their differentiators, allowing them to concentrate on their core business while EntropySoft takes care of the connectivity.

EntropySoft is the content-centric applications interoperability leader.
