FAQs on MMS

1. What is an ERP system? ERP is an acronym which stands for "Enterprise Resource Planning". ERP systems are integrated software applications that manage a company's resources, covering such management functions as order processing, manufacturing, engineering, finance, inventory/materials management and more. All of these modules work together and share up-to-date information to create a smoothly operating business environment.

2. What basic functionality does MMS Software offer?  Peartree's software modules cover all the necessary aspects of an ERP system, with additional applications that competing packages can't match. Peartree Software's ERP is fully integrated and not an interfaced product, meaning that there is seamless interconnectivity between all of our modules sharing a database.

3. Will we have to drastically change the way we do business to use  your software? No. Peartree's software conforms to popular industry standards such as APICS and AIAG, and follows GAAP for general business principles. We can also configure each module separately to best fit your existing business processes. Flexibility is our specialty!

4. My company requires a very specific set of tools - what kind of customization does Peartree Software offer?  Peartree Software's ERP suite is extremely customizable. We offer consulting and in-depth analysis to help determine the best way to meet your needs. If required, Peartree can provide custom programming or interface add-ons to ensure our ERP software performs everything you require.

 5. How long does an average software implementation take? When asked this question, Sales Manager Sam Harris typically responds with the analogy "How long is a piece of string?" Just as string can assume a variety of lengths, our implementation times vary depending on the complexity of your solution. However, with full support and dedication from your business, we can deploy our resources to meet your timelines.

6. Do you have a standardized implementation plan?  We do, but our implementation is entirely flexible, meaning you can have the modules most critical to your business installed and up-and-running first.

7. Can we install Peartree Software on multiple sites? Yes. Depending on your requirements, Peartree can configure a solution that will integrate multiple locations, companies or divisions into a single ERP system.

8. Do we have to license Peartree's entire software suite? What if we don't need certain modules?  No. Individual modules can be bundled to meet your current needs. Additional modules can easily be added at a later date.

9. Can I convert data from our existing business system to work with a new Peartree Software solution? Yes, this is a common request. We can provide conversion routines to map your information to the Peartree database.

10. What type of system requirements do Peartree Software modules require? Our ERP suite will run on Windows, Unix and Linux platforms. While hardware requirements vary depending on the type of deployment, the IBM database architecture is included in your Peartree license.

11. How much will a Peartree Software solution cost my company? While pricing naturally varies depending on which modules you require, we typically charge on a per-user basis. Our solutions are comparable in functionality to "high-end" suites and come at a fraction of the cost.

They will be pleased to provide them.  Peartree Software has been providing software solutions for more than 15 years.
