LANSA
ERP Frameworks
The LANSA ERP Frameworks is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. It is a fully integrated suite of modules that offers one comprehensive, enterprise-wide solution for distributors, manufacturers, and service providers alike. It enables companies to provide better customer service, drive increased efficiency, improve performance, and build competitive advantage. The modules are grouped into 3 major areas: Financials, Distribution, and Manufacturing.
Each module is seamlessly integrated with related modules, contains transaction auditing, and includes reports necessary for monitoring your business and reporting to governing agencies.
It is important to note that the modules are also designed to be able to be used independently. One of the benefits of this modular design is the ability to use one or more of the modules in a “best of breed” situation, using a module to replace or augment one segment of a system and then integrating it with the remaining segments.
Since the ERP Frameworks modules are 100% LANSA, you get the benefits of a proven system, rich in functionality, along with the flexibility to create a solution tailored to your business and easily modifiable to meet business requirements that are constantly changing.
Its Outlook-style look and feel provides an optimal end user experience.
The Distribution Framework
Suppliers face many challenges today, including high levels of supply chain inefficiency, shrinking margins and escalating customer expectations. It is more important than ever before to increase productivity and profitability, enhance the customer experience and establish a virtual enterprise. All of this is possible through effective use of technology. LANSA's Distribution Framework offers core application modules to address critical business requirements, with the advantage that they can be easily tailored to meet an organization's unique needs and can be extended to provide Web, Windows and XML interfaces using LANSA's advanced software.
The Manufacturing Framework
Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to lower costs, improve customer service, shrink the sourcing cycle and maintain velocity supply chain management. It is imperative to integrate information silos and processes within the enterprise and with all points along the supply chain (suppliers, outsource manufacturing sites and customers) in order to satisfy these requirements. LANSA's Manufacturing Framework offers core application modules to deliver a fully integrated base system, with the advantage that this base can then be easily tailored to meet an organization's unique needs and extended to address trading partner integration through Web browser self-service applications and application-to-application integration using LANSA's advanced software.
The Financial Framework
It's true that a better Accounts Payable system, General Ledger application, or financial reporting system will not generally lead to better customer satisfaction and retention - or improve your ability to adapt as circumstances change in your supply chain. However, a well integrated, soft parameter-driven financial system does increase your administrative and finance department productivity - and is invaluable in allowing you to get the accurate big picture view needed without waiting for a lengthy month-end process. LANSA's Financial Framework offers core application modules that include multi-currency, multi-level tax processing and multi-company capabilities. The ability to implement procedural changes as business circumstances dictate is driven primarily by soft parameter changes rather than coding/development changes. In addition to meeting your organization's unique business processing needs, the Financial Framework can be extended to provide Web, Windows, XML and EDI interfaces using LANSA's advanced software.
