ERP and Workflow: automate information flows with Panthera
“Panthera ERP is an enabler of Digital Transformation”. So says Guido Pellegata, Marketing Director of Panthera, who highlights how the management software, rich in features developed by Panthera Srl, paves the way for the “intelligent enterprise” that allows companies to manage data “for predictive purposes”.
The Panthera ERP module is web-native and can be used from any device, even on the move. “A feature that is now indispensable: an ERP workflow that allows employees and management to continue their work wherever they are, whether it runs in a data centre or as a cloud ERP, guarantees operational continuity and therefore business growth”.
Panthera is an Italian ERP designed to facilitate collaboration, especially in SMEs. Pellegata states: “The Panthera ERP module activates the company workflow so as to reduce and eliminate manual processes and inefficiencies: this means having complete control of all operational and strategic functions and being able to make decisions in real time on the basis of qualified information”.
Managing the workflow with an ERP solution also means improving communication internally and with third parties, partners, suppliers and the sales network. “Choosing Panthera makes it possible not only to keep pace with the technological evolution of the business, but also to anticipate change with tools capable of supporting the company on an innovative path of digital transformation”.
ERP Workflow: control of strategic functions
Panthera ERP Workflow: not vertical, but flexible
With Panthera we talk about “configurability” rather than “customisation”. “An ERP cannot disrupt the company workflow by requiring continuous customisations. Panthera covers 95% of ATECO codes and can be adapted as needed simply by changing the parameter settings. Panthera is a standard product that can be configured for the typical needs of many sectors, such as trade, industry, automation, food, construction, logistics, etc.: it is not a vertical product, it is a flexible product”.
Still from a workflow perspective, the Panthera ERP module includes a document management system by default, to share files and documents securely. “In terms of “collaboration”, Pellegata points out, with Panthera ERP we are at the cutting edge, because we completely eliminate the need for third-party solutions to exchange documents and information”.
Automate decision-making processes with the Panthera workflow
Panthera automates not only the activities of individual areas, but also the individual tasks of staff, increasing the effectiveness of procedures and therefore the efficiency of resources. With the Panthera workflow, business processes are managed according to needs, making work flexible, controlled and of high quality.
“Thanks to the Panthera workflow, sources of waste and risk are eliminated while complying with procedures: decision-making processes and the approval of activities become linear and verifiable”. For example, in the sales order process, approval is guided by the Panthera workflow through the verification of every step, from the customer's credit limit to the margin, up to the actual availability of the product. The Panthera workflow checks procurement needs against spending budgets, with alerts to managers where necessary to define approval limits.
ERP modules for a predictive environment
In addition to the ERP Workflow module, Panthera's customers have a whole range of features available for specific business management needs: Finance, Purchasing, Sales and Customers, Production, Logistics, Development and Design, Document Management, Quality and a specific Business Intelligence module. “Thanks to the entire range of ERP modules, intelligent, proactive and predictive workflow becomes everyday practice. “Also because, as far as usability and the interface are concerned” concludes Pellegata, “the newly renewed application layout gives users maximum flexibility, with the creation of dashboards and custom views according to the different indicators and activities”.
