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 and business intelligence, along with sales, marketing, supply chain management, distribution tools, and manufacturing and facilities management capabilities. The main product integrates financial tools and distribution systems, working together with IBM’s Cognos business intelligence software. With the distribution tool, users can view and manage various warehouse stocks, automate freight calculations, access sales history, and personalize order entry screens. Additionally, the manufacturing suite allows for the creation of inventory items tailored to customer needs, which are then translated into shop floor instructions. Pronto Xi’s POS component offers a touch-screen user interface that connects to the inventory management application, allowing customers to create new profiles from any store and access them from any register. Moreover, certified staff members can conduct real-time stock queries, minimizing the need for inter-site communication. The system can be implemented as an on-premise, cloud-based, or hybrid solution for midsize companies in industries such as retail, heavy industry, manufacturing, mining, field services, and supply chain management.
