Who is Summit Software Solutions?

Summit Software Solutions sells and implements the ALERE ERP Software Applications. Joe Booth is the president of Summit Software Solutions and Joe has been working with industrial clients such as manufacturing and wholesale distribution companies providing them state of the art software technology to handle daily operations since 1984. ALERE's software technology provides many of the same benefits as systems used by large market companies and even some benefits that they don't provide and yet it's a small fraction of the cost and is much easier to implement. The overall result is that with ALERE, the small and mid-size markets now have access to the same ERP functionality as the large market companies that paid a fortune for those capabilities.

Summit Software evolves as technology evolves

New, feature rich versions of the ALERE ERP applications are typically released every 10-12 months. Each new release is an updated version, not a service pack. This aggressive release schedule ensures that ALERE keeps pace with ever changing technology. The result is that we can help clients utilize the latest devices to perform functions such as managing inventory properly so they have what they need when they need it and can still reduce inventory carrying costs. We also help to streamline procedures so they can get things done quickly and correctly and thrive in these times where money is tight and there aren't enough hours in the day. ALERE software can address all aspects of the business including manufacturing, accounting, order fulfillment, inventory control, CRM, document management, bar coding and data analysis as well as other office, warehouse, shop floor and factory activities.
