What is Pronto and how does it function? Pronto Xi is an all-in-one enterprise resource planning (ERP) package that includes essential applications such as financial accounting, business intelligence, sales and marketing modules, supply chain management, distribution tools, and manufacturing and facilities management capabilities. The main product combines financial tools and distribution systems and works alongside IBM’s Cognos business intelligence software. With Pronto Xi, users can manage warehouse stocks, automate freight calculations, access sales history, and personalize order entry screens using the distribution tool. Additionally, the program’s manufacturing suite allows for the creation of responsive inventory items based on customer needs, which are then translated into shop floor instructions. The POS component in Pronto Xi offers a touch-screen user interface that connects to the suite’s inventory management application. Customers can create new profiles from any store and access them from any register. Moreover, certified staff members can conduct real-time stock queries, reducing the need for communication between sites. Pronto Xi can be deployed as an on-premise, cloud-based, or hybrid solution, catering to midsize firms in various industries such as retail, heavy industry, manufacturing, mining, field services, and supply chain management.
