Summit Software Solutions Solves Problems

Summit Software Solutions is a trusted advisor to our clients because we solve problems. We often use "out of the box" thinking to solve some very big problems for our clients. One example of these problems is that manufacturing companies are losing skilled labor to retirement and other employment opportunities. That is a very common theme among manufacturing companies as many of their skilled people are baby boomers with decades of experience that are reaching or nearing retirement. In fact, many manufacturing companies describe this as the biggest crisis they face.

Companies can't always prevent people from leaving so the problem becomes accelerating the training of new employees to take their place and ALERE's built in document management can play a big part in that. An unlimited number of documents such as training videos, spec sheets, drawings, sketches, images, MSDS sheets, and certificates of compliance can be attached to each operation of the manufacturing process so they're available for review at the exact moment they're needed.

All of these documents are very valuable but the training videos are the real key here now that we're in the Youtube era. The videos can easily be recorded during a normal work day using a smart-phone by recording the skilled person as they perform each operation step and then the videos can be inserted into each operation step. Then just when the new person is getting ready to perform the operation step, they can view the video and it guides them through the operation. Replacing departing employees isn't normally a problem associated with ERP software but that's just one example of how Summit Software Solutions utilizes ERP software to solve the biggest problems our clients face.

ALERE Can be Accessed From Anywhere in the World Via Mobile Devices

ALERE is accessible from anywhere in the world via mobile devices such as smart-phones and tablets and that's vital because those are the business tools of the future because the emerging workforce is so technologically savvy. ALERE has been accessible via mobile devices such as tablets and smart-phones for years. The breakthrough, however, is that ALERE is rolling out a toolkit that will allow ALERE support personnel like Summit Software Solutions to quickly and inexpensively develop customized apps built to each our client's specifications so they can access ALERE functions from anyone in the world using mobile devices. It will be cost effective because we'll be able to develop these apps in hours as opposed to weeks with the new toolkit.

One more factor helping to keep costs down is that mobile users in the field don't count as users in the ERP system. Companies can have hundreds of technicians in the field without having to invest in a single new user license.
