ERP for SMEs

BOWEN & Groves has released the latest version of its M1 by B&G ERP software featuring a range of valuable new enhancements.

The latest Version 6.6 incorporates interfaces with other business software programs.

Announcing Version 6.6 , chief executive Geoff Groves said in addition to the array of business analysis and productivity tools M1 now had an enhanced interface with Microsoft Office and other industry standard and popular software programs.

“Many businesses are looking to reduce their IT costs so in releasing Version 6.6, we have added a number of new enhancements, particularly the interface with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook, OpenOffice and Thunderbird.

“For instance some of the specific features include the ability to create call records from emails, and the ability to save selected attachments, increased memos on orders and enhanced mail merge so that it functions with OpenOffice together with the ability to email related attachments and to access contacts direct from the software.

“Integration with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone systems has enhanced our users ability to meet the demands for customer service.

“M1 now has the ability to display the customer’s details as soon as the phone rings and making a phone call is as simple as clicking a button.

“For Australian, UK, US and Canadian users we have also added support for Google maps.

“We have now added the ability to use the Shop Floor Entry Data Collection module with a PDA, creating a perfect tool for customers who have employees in remote locations or service representatives in the field.

“In total we have added some 42 new features in the latest upgrade and many of these reflect specific user requests as effectively fine tuning to specific manufacturing industry requirements,” Geoff Groves added.
