Meeting with Shannon and working on content for the adilas value add-on core model. This is somewhat of the master plan and where we are heading. Today we were working on content for defining the core. Here is some of what we came up with... we may still edit some things but it's a start.

New content... - part of the value add-on core

Before defining the current adilas core, we thought that it would be helpful to show what is common or somewhat industry standard as far as matching software to needs.

The current approach that most businesses use is to look around and try to find the best in class pieces of software. Then they try to marry those software pieces together to get a semi-workable system. This commonly ends up being a solution that includes anywhere from 4-10 (or more) different software packages to run their business. Imagine something like this: Best in class inventory tracking, best in class POS (point of sale), best in class ecommerce package, accounting, payroll, timecards, CRM (customer relationship management), project management, scheduling, etc. You get the idea... Does this sound familiar?

This ends up being what is called a "mashup", or mix, of different software packages all trying to be pulled into one workable solution. The pain comes in as each piece dead ends and doesn't fully fit with the other pieces. You end up in somewhat of a time sink as you have to duplicate data or search for data details in or from one software package to the other. Not to mention that you have different accounts, contracts, logins, and are paying for multiple pieces of software.

Inside of adilas, we are demonstrating that it is possible to do all of these critical business functions in a single integrated system. This is what we do at adilas. Imagine being able to do full inventory tracking, fully configurable POS functionality, CRM functionality, scheduling, accounting, payroll, ecommerce, full financials, reporting, exports, and having a virtual paperless office (CMS - content management system). This is just the surface of what is available with adilas, one system, all working together in an integrated solution.

Some of the benefits of having a fully integrated solution are things like: Having everything in one place and it all interconnects (no dead ends). Being able to search and find underlying details of amounts, sums, and counts. Not having to buy all of the other software packages. You are no longer limited to strictly linear processes. You are able to have a virtual three-dimensional (3D) system that allows you to enter data at any level and it will interconnect. Another huge advantage is that you get to use what features you want and don't have to use other features that you don't need. It's all there, if you need or want it.

To describe the adilas transactional core, what already exists, we will start with the word "transactional". This means - details or individual transactions. If you catch every penny in and every penny out, every invoice, every PO, item usage, expenses, deposits, etc., you start getting transactions and data history. This creates multi-relational data stored over time. All of these underlying details and histories become the transactional core. Everyone who uses adilas will need a transactional core. This is what people will purchase as the base model for how they run their business.

If you want more, here is a 50 slide pitch of what we do... have fun... we call this the presentation gallery.
