FAQs ERP.

What can the Zentro ERP system do?

Zentro is an ERP software that maps all commercial processes in the company and offers integrated parts lists, CRM, capacity planning, time recording and post-calculation, among other things.

Zentro includes various interfaces to CAD and CAM systems, suppliers and accounting.

Our customers come from a wide range of industries, such as carpentry, painting and interior design. In principle, however, the ERP system can be customized for a wide range of industries.

What does the flexible calculation in the Zentro ERP system look like?

Zentro specializes in order-related calculations. Depending on the phase a project is in, the appropriate costing for materials and working time is carried out.

Plausibility and completeness checks are available for this by automatically adding up working times, purchase and sales prices and automatically calculating mark-ups.

Can the project management, for example the process of creating the workpieces, cross-departmental coordination, time recording, etc., be covered after the calculation?

Zentro supports you in scheduling your orders, either through automated backward scheduling or manually via drag-and-drop.

The planned working times from the calculation are transferred to capacity planning. You can also see the utilization of your resources, taking into account feedback from time recording.

On which technological platform (operating system, database system) can the Zentro ERP system be used?

Zentro is an enterprise software that can be used in conjunction with various database systems, such as Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and MariaDB.

The software is used for both Windows and Linux and is also continuously tested for both operating systems.

What is the system architecture required for the Zentro ERP system and how is the data stored?

The data is stored in a relational database on the server (e.g. Microsoft SQL Server). The Zentro Client is a desktop application and platform-independent.

Is it possible to flexibly assign write and read rights in the Zentro ERP system?
