New User Experience for Enterprise Resource Planning Software



Global Shop Solutions has announced the release of Version 2014.1 of its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. The release offers new features and screens as well as enhanced customization and personalization capabilities.

"We've enhanced a number of system capabilities, as we always do with new version releases," said Global Shop Solutions President Dusty Alexander. "Version 2014.1 is mostly about giving our customers an industry-leading user experience. From simpler, more intuitive screens to greater customization and personalization options, Global Shop Solutions ERP is now friendlier and easier to use than ever."

According to the company, Global Shop Solutions ERP software is designed to help manufacturing companies cut costs and lean their operations through detailed job costing, scheduling, inventory management solutions, agile project management and other shop control applications. "Global Shop customers regularly achieve results like 99% inventory accuracy, near-100% on-time delivery rates, and the total elimination of spreadsheets and duplicate data entry," said a company spokesperson.

According to the company, version 2014.1 features include:

  • The new main menu's graphical interface offers a simpler, more intuitive user experience, reducing clicks to perform actions throughout the system. Using the enhanced customization and personalization options, users can change colors and themes, create their own workspaces and application groups and set up the menu screen based on their personal use of the system. The menu also includes a scrolling message at the bottom of the screen to broadcast important company or industry announcements and news.
  • The general ledger history enhancements let users move data to a history file to reduce the size of the general ledger detail file and speed up processing time. Financial information flows faster throughout Global Shop Solutions' fully integrated system, allowing users to get reports, financial statements and other general ledger data quicker.
  • An add-on to Global Shop Solutions' patented Document Control ERP module, Version Management System (VMS) offers new security features to ensure data integrity on customer documents. These security features include storing files directly in the database, allowing multiple versions of a document to be stored simultaneously and new individual and group security features. New check-in/check-out functionality enhances document integrity by making it impossible for two users to change a file at the same time.

"With the 2014.x series of releases, we are augmenting the intrinsic functionality of our software with a large investment in the science of interface design," said Chris Okamuro, Chief Technology Officer for Global Shop Solutions. "The first product of our efforts is a new menu interface experience. By studying our customers' work patterns and incorporating their feedback, we have produced a more efficient, faster and more aesthetically pleasing software interface. We plan to bring many more ergonomic and aesthetic improvements to the rest of the product over the next several releases."
