HansaWorld for all companies


Managing Tasks and Staff

HansaWorld extends the traditional accounting and enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to a new dimension by providing a business management layer on top. Integrated multi-user To Do lists prompt users to perform tasks in the rest of the system. Graphical multi-user calendars support scheduling of people and other resources. External files can be attached to any record, making them accessible to all staff. Full workflow systems can be built in the Task Manager - particularly strong for ISO 9000.

Communicating with customers

Build effective sales campaigns quickly with HansaWorld's communication tools. Profile companies with user-definable classifications, such as their marketing sources or even what they have or have not bought from you. Build your message with a simple word processor, and then communicate it via letter, fax or email. Use the Task Manager to record key points from telephone conversations, and meetings. Use HansaWorld's integration capabilities to store the outgoing and incoming communication against customers or other records. HansaWorld can provide a single view of all such communications with a customer, in conjunction with traditional listings such as items bought. HansaWorld's Conferences functionality allows you to design a complete intranet (or even an extranet) where external and internal data files can be stored and easily retrieved -for example .pdf files of marketing material can be used on emails by simple drag and drop. By making use of the business phone and SIP enabled phones you will be able to make least cost routing calls easily from the HansaWorld application. If you have a Nokia smartphone, you will also be able to utilise the full HansaWorld application and communicate with customers while on the run, thus making for a true mobile office.

eBusiness


HansaWorld has a real-time web engine that allows you to create websites quickly, and make changes to the content in minutes. HansaWorld provides templates for text and picture-based websites and webshops, supporting customer-specific views of the website, flexible item groups and even multiple languages. Other external parties can be given web-browser access to any part of the system, for example to allow subcontractors to complete timesheets. Alternatively they can use laptops or PDAs over the internet, using GPRS, 3G or HSDPA where necessary, to access any part of the system. HansaWorld also supports XML, EDI and electronic banking (such as BACS), and interfaces to telephony.

Exploiting Technology

HansaWorld's ultra-modern architecture provides the foundation for your implementation to last for many years. Scaleable servers from desktop up to mainframe underpin your company's growth -particularly xServe from Apple, and IBM eServers running Unix or Linux. The open design enables quick creation of versions for modern client operating systems -for example including Mac OS X, Windows XP, Pocket PC, Symbian OS for mobile phones and Linux. HansaWorld supports any mix of any of these clients and servers. As the fastest GUI business management solution on the market, it is simple to run HansaWorld over wide-area networks without terminal emulation or other third-party solutions. This enhances performance and reliability while considerably reducing cost of ownership.

Single datafile

HansaWorld's key approach is to put all key business data in one datafile, rather than interfacing different applications. This enables single views of data from a wide range of areas for example, a credit controller can view all promises made by salespeople, open quotations, turnover by product, and progress on repairs, alongside traditional credit control information, and all associated notes, on one screen. Therefore HansaWorld is much more than accounting software. Using HansaWorld, you eliminate the need for lots of Excel Spreadsheets and various systems. A typical HansaWorld implementation replaces between three and 6 disparate systems by putting all those processes into just one system!
