Software ERP Systems web based open Source |
Kelebihan ERP Berbasis Web dibandingkan ERP Berbasis Desktop
- Fisik Program yang tidak ada di Client. tidak akan ada yang namanya client yang rusak. data juga tidak ada di client, library juga tidak di client akan tetap bisa akses
- Layout yang lebih mudah, krena menggunakan standart HTML dan CSS sehingga memperduahkan untuk interfacing
- Tampilan yang jauh lebih bagus dari Desktop, bila pakai exJS
- Flexible dan Portable, selama kita punya web browser, system akan berjalan dengan baik dari mana saja asalkan ada koneksi internet/intranet sperti contoh membawa Wify Portable atau ada wify akses di dalam Bus. baik menggunakan handphone, PDA, Laptop maupun Desktop, dengan menggunakan OS apa ajah, baik Mac maupun Windows dan Linux
- Tidak ada Batasa Akses, Dimana , kapanpun, melalui apapun bisa pakai tunnel, VPN, Telnet, Wget dan Proxy, apapun itu program tetap akan berjalan dengan maximal
- Systems Stabil, karena berbasis web Aplication pada dasarnya stateless, maka kemungkinan data yang terkirim hanya parsial dan database lock-nya menggantung karena client crash kecil sekali
- Systems Lebih Secure, Data yang akan di lewat akan selalu di-encrypt, menggunakan https, Security juga centralized. kita bisa melakukan cek pada setiap data yang akan di proses
- Terpusat (Centralized), Perbaikan pada sebuah Software, tidak perlu patch seluruh komputer. cukup upload data ke Server, dan seluruh client akan lebih fixed sendiri.
- Integrated single sign on, Multiple Departemen Multiple Site, Seluruh kantor tahunya hanya masuk ke office.anda.co.id untuk melakukan login. jadi msilanya direksi tidak perlu keluar masuk pindah antara program accounting dan program HRD bisa disediakan menu misalnya http://office.anda.co.id//accounting dan http://office.anda.co.id/HRD
- Messaging API. Bisa Pakai RESTful, jadi misalnya ada perjualan, user entry dari http://oofice.anda.co.id/retail/sales/newsales, maka kita langsung sebar 4 buah message.
- Dua buah entry ke http://office.anda.co.id/accounting/ar/creat (Accounting Receivable dan Tax)
- http://office.anda.co.id/retail/sales/create (Penjualan)
- http://office.anda.co.id/finaince/invoice/create (invoice)
- http://office.anda.co.id/inventory/delivery/create (Delivery Order)
Features Web ERP
General
- Entirely web-based
- Runs on any web-server that can accommodate PHP - can use an ISP instead of having/maintaining own server
- Minimal use of javascript for maximum compatibility with all web-browsers and web enabled devices. Some small amounts used to improve error-trapping and user interactivity.
- Produces reports to Portable Document Format - PDF for accurate positioning of text
- All reports and scripts easily modifiable PHP text
- All processing on the server and no installation required on client machines
- Multi-language - each user can see the interface in their preferred language - 28 translations available bundled with the system.
- Numbers are displayed appropriately for the language selected and input is allowed in this format.
- Fully utf-8 compliant. PDF reports produced using adobe CIF fonts for lightweight PDFs using utf-8 character set for any language
- Multi-theme - each user can see the interface in their preferred graphical theme
- Can be integrated with a wiki (any wakka fork) to hold narrative on items, suppliers and customers. e.g. The wiki may contain any information particular to the customer with links to say credit history - call log for customer services/sales/accounts etc
- The underlying code of the system is written in a way so as to maximise it's readability for those new to PHP coding. The idea being that business users will be able to administer and adapt the system to exactly suit their needs.
Security
- Users can be defined with access to only certain options using a role based model
- Options applicable to certain roles can be graphically configured and users defined as fulfilling a given role.
- Incorrect entry of password (more than 3 times) blocks the account until reset by the System Administrator. This prevents password crackers from breaking the security.
- Pages can be encrypted using SSL and webERP can be configured to only display pages using SSL to ensure that all information passing over the internet is encrypted.
- Users can be defined to see only certain modules on the main menu - so menu options that they will not have access to are not even displayed on screen.
