INTERFACE

Comarch ALTUMs interface ensures intuitive work is carried out throughout the entire system. A modern, sleek design makes the psychological barrier related to the beginnings of working with the new system easy to overcome. Since the design is simple to understand, switching over to this system will be much easier to adapt to. The use of ultra-modern technology makes the interface appealing, insightful and flexible. The system profile editor allows for customization of the menu so that functions are suited to the user's specific needs. As a result, the interface is both clear, intuitive and ergonomic. A lot of emphasis has indeed been put upon the ergonomics of working with the system. All elements of the system, such as the buttons in the upper menu, have been ordered and grouped in accordance with the frequency of their use. The system features many conveniences such as generating commercial documents from the marked commodity, the "edit in place" function and the possibility of working without the mouse.

Another innovative feature is the possibility of positioning open windows and documents in many different locations. Furthermore, the profile editor allows for adjustment of the menu layout in such a way that the only visible and available options are those which the user or a group of users actually require on a daily basis. Thus the system can be easily adjusted to the needs of those who use it. All these options make the Comarch ALTUM interface easily customizable to the needs of the company.

INTEGRATION

All information about the company, its customers, vendors and turnover is stored in one place: a unique database on Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008. Thus Managers can access every single area of the company, which results in a far more effective cooperation between employees. The IT network within the company becomes simpler as the CRM system, data warehouse and additional workflows are incorporated into one system.

PROCESSING

Comarch ALTUM Integrated Workflow changes the way its users work. An activity initiated by one user automatically calls for another activity to be undertaken by a different user who also participates in the given process. If the subsequent actions are not followed through, an alert mechanism sends a reminder to notify the user. The system allows you to suspend your current activities and send e-mails in the midst of your work. For example, you can send a message (plus an attachment) with an inquiry to one of your vendors, whilst still having your current work saved. Creating and modifying the document flow is made simpler by means of a user-friendly graphical layout which enables the user to easily modify the document flow as well as many pre-defined workflows distributed within the system. Furthermore, the workflow's open architecture makes it possible for your company to integrate applications currently used with Comarch ALTUM.
