So, what are companies asking us about modern ERP to help them improve processes in this ever-changing business environment?\u00a0 They are asking about ease of use, role-based customization, rapid access to information, automation, API\u2019s and more.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wsite-content-title\">Usability &amp; Customization\u00a0\u200b<\/h2>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\u200bGive your users the ability to jump into their favorite screens, from any device, anywhere that has a web browser and an intuitive interface that allows for excellent presentation and navigation across your whole business. Ease the restrictiveness of old systems with a solution that includes unlimited users, so that everyone who needs access can have it.\u00a0Protect sensitive data easily with role-based security, and screens that can be configured to streamline daily activities.<br \/>\n\u200b<br \/>\nEmpower users with insight through predefined dashboards that can be easily changed by the user, and which include KPI\u2019s (key performance indicators) that fit their role. Dashboards offer drill down capabilities, allowing management the ability to determine what needs to be done and make decisions quickly. For example, a purchasing manager will be able to see stock levels, purchasing trends, and days late.<strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Favorite time-savers:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Drag and drop files<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sort on fields and categories<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Copy and paste orders, vouchers, GL entries, and so on<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Large data Excel Imports<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Universal search<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Robust user help screens<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none \">\n<p><a> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parallelsolutions4u.com\/uploads\/1\/5\/7\/3\/15732292\/published\/copy-and-paste.png?1648132505\" alt=\"Picture\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wsite-content-title\">Access to Information<\/h2>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<p>No one wants to have to click through multiple screens and back again to do their daily tasks.
