What IT resources will we need to support Connexa Softools’ products?
How long does a typical implementation take?
Is the FPF a product configuration tool or a guided selling tool?
Our Flexible Product Framework&trade is a small suite of software applications that can be used either as a sales and production management system
for manufacturers who make customizable products or as a guided selling tool for companies that manufacture customizable or complex products.
The FPF is designed to simplify the sales process and make it easier for all of your sales channels to market, quote, and sell your products.
Can Connexa Softools’ modules integrate with our current system?
Most likely, Yes! Connexa Softools’ application modules are designed to be used as a complete end-to-end system or integrated with an
existing accounting, MRP, ERP, or CRM system to enhance existing functionality. A sampling of systems that are likely candidates for integration
are SAP, JD Edwards, Fourth Shift, Made2Manage, QuickBooks, and many of Sage’s manufacturing and accounting systems, such as Accpacc, MAS 90,
and MAS 200.
We already have an accounting system, so why do we need Connexa Softools’ FPF?
Connexa’s Flexible Product Framework&trade is designed specifically to improve your competitive position and provide powerful tools that make it
easier to manage sales and production processes. Accounting systems are designed to track and report transactional data as well as perform financial
reporting functions. Although several accounting systems have been retrofitted to perform basic sales tracking functions, all of them fall short
from delivering robust sales management functionality in ways that can significantly impact your business.
We already have an MRP/ERP, why do we need Connexa Softools’ FPF?
Connexa’s Flexible Product Framework&trade is designed specifically to improve your competitive position and provide powerful tools that make it easier
to manage sales and production processes. MRP and ERP systems are designed to primarily manage transactional aspects of production planning and
management. Connexa Softools’ modules were created to enhance functionality in critical areas of these systems that are usually insufficient for
manufacturers of complex or customizable products.
What IT resources will we need to support Connexa Softools’ products?
None! Connexa Softools’ Flexible Product Framework&trade is a modular hosted solution. That means we manage the software and you manage your data.
Our software applications have been painstakingly designed to be extremely simple to use. Data input can be performed by our expert team of product
configuration specialists or by you. The simplicity of our software enables, salespersons, product managers, marketing, engineering, or administrative
staff to manage your product data and sales order processing – without help from us or from internal or external IT resources.
How long does a typical implementation take?
Typical implementation times vary greatly depending upon complexity of your products, number of rules associated with features and options, and
our ability to get required information from you. We are capable of completing an implementation of our software and configuration of most products
within a few weeks.
