Bileeta grows medium size client base by 200 per cent

-

A Sri Lankan Enterprise-wide Resource Planning (ERP) applicatio­n developer Bileeta has recorded a 200 per cent growth rate in relation to medium size clients over the 2012 financial year, according to a statement by the company.

The company also revealed that the highest recorded increase came from its sales and distributi­on vertical, where the "immediate benefits of ERP can [ be brought] into the company's sales process".

Additional­ly, Bileeta also signalled that it was currently focusing on "enabling ERP functional­ities on mobile devices to provide features to end users through dashboards and Key Performanc­e Indicators (KPIs)".

Meanwhile, the statement also quoted Bileeta's Chief Operating Officer, Sanka Weerasingh­e, as stating that his company was interested in addressing all key stakeholde­rs while others were "mainly focused towards offering features to sales teams who are away from the offices".

He also added; "Enabling the ERP features on a mobile devices required a great deal of Research and Developmen­t (R&D)from the point of deciding the scope of features, to the amount of informatio­n, and also in providing the features in the most user friendly manner. For that, we have been constantly conducting research and developmen­t to empower our ERP to ensure more convenienc­e for our end user".

At the same time, Bileeta's Chief Executive, Sanji De Silva, was quoted as saying; "We want to offer a greater level of convenienc­e for users to gain the business benefits out of the ERP solution. As such, the money spent on an ERP will become an investment rather than just a cost. The convenienc­e to be offered will enable them to be closely connected to the business through alerts on mobiles, dashboards and features to conduct transactio­ns even they are physically away from office.

For example, a Financial Controller can provide temporary credit approval for a customer by looking at the customer creditwort­hiness merely through a few clicks on a mobile. We have already launched a beta version of these features and also secured a foreign contract that requires a higher degree of features on mobile devices".
