Q360 ERP & PSA Software Unified for an Industry Specific Solution

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Professional Services Automation (PSA) Software

Typically, these are separate software packages designed for different types of organizations. However, for Systems Integration companies, major elements of both are needed to run a business efficiently and profitability while giving everyone in the organization visibility into their contribution to the success of the company.

ERP software is used to plan and coordinate the delivery of goods and services to your clients across the organization in the most efficient manner possible. PSA software is designed to assist Systems Integrators with organizing and managing your people who deliver on projects and in your service department. This is accomplished by developing metrics to quantify and qualify basic business processes that can then be used to streamline and improve those processes to drive efficiency and profitability. The challenge with Systems Integration companies is that there are many more moving parts to their business, and the coordination of both ERP and PSA functions falls under practical application to the business.

Typically, technology integration companies have had to cobble together multiple applications to manage the unique aspects of the work that happens across their business. They have a standalone sales tool, a project management tool, time tracking software, an inventory system, some sort of accounting application and often more applications and spreadsheets to fill in the gaps. This model will work to a point, but as their business grows, these disconnected systems will begin to cause pain and processes will break down and cost the business money by having to assign more administrative staff to manage the systems and information.

Over the last 25 years, our Q360™ Software was designed to combine the functionality of all these applications in a single powerful solution, to centralize your business processes and information with seamless hand-offs from one department to the other. This workflow approach builds in accountability as every stop in the process. With Q360™ you will have one common database to access accurate, real-time information and your staff will have access to a single version of the truth of what’s happening in their department and the overall business
