In a market full of compliance regulations, data requirements, and uncertainty, it’s so important that businesses are able to access a secure, cloud-based platform; navigate complicated and tricky tax laws; and have the necessary visibility to monitor trends, better predict demand, and make informed decisions based on real-time data. We’re confident that Aptean Distribution ERP may be just the solution for you. With the new upgrade, Aptean can do all of that and more; it’s an all-in-one enterprise management system designed to handle everything consumer goods importers and distributors need to optimize operations and support business growth.
Aptean has added enhancements to its ERP solution to enable full cloud functionality, new business intelligence capabilities through Microsoft Power BI, and an Avalara AvaTax integration. Leveraging Aptean's new features, customers can now achieve:
Full Cloud Functionality:
Aptean's ERP offers users a new web user-interface that is available with full cloud functionality, making the transition to SaaS easier than ever before. Benefits include high availability and anywhere access, increased security and disaster protection, reduced overhead, and scalable processing power.
Business Intelligence Driven By Microsoft Power BI:
With Aptean’s advanced business intelligence platform, importers and distributors can visualize all the relevant data points that matter most—including sales, warehouse, chargeback, and analysis. This data is now presented in dashboards, reports, charts, and graphs for quick viewing and interpretation, with clickable features to drill down for more granularity than ever before. Through new features that drive faster analysis and improved decision making, fact-based and relevant information can now be presented with greater visibility, allowing insights to be easily shared across silos and departments.
Avalara AvaTax Integration:
Keeping up with the complex requirements of sales tax regulations can be a challenge, especially for businesses that need to remit taxes in multiple states and municipalities. Rates and rules change frequently, and manually calculating rates outside of your ERP is a time-consuming, error-prone process. To offer a solution, Aptean has partnered with Avalara, a leading provider of tax compliance tools, to offer Avalara AvaTax Integration for Aptean ERP. Users of the connector can drive efficiency with real-time automation, enhance accuracy and precision with consistently updated compliance regulations and rules, and accelerate the filing process with prepopulated transaction data.
Aptean values the customer experience. Duane George, Chief Product Officer at Aptean, says, “Today’s users expect to be able to access enterprise resource planning software from any location and any device, at any time. With the newly available enhancements to our Apprise ERP solution, customers will experience simpler web access, a better user interface and access to various Power BI solutions that will equip them to perform more efficiently during uncertain times.”
Deployable either in the cloud or on-premise, Aptean ERP offers business-wide visibility and agility, increased profits and reduced costs, streamlined operations, improved accuracy and speed, and enhanced customer satisfaction.
