Portals

Portals are a form of report that can be added inside your ERP system to show various forms of information. These portals can be added as a new tab in the portal view window or in a new tab in other windows. Portals can show summary information to let users know what has happened in a specific time frame or can be used to help identify potential problems in your system. Portals can use filters with input values from the user to refine results shown. Some examples of portals we have made are shown below and grouped into categories. Feel free to contact us about these or any other portals your business might need.
