Product Roadmap: JustFoodERP 12.01 and New Prototypes Unveiled!

It was standing room and you could almost smell the excitement in the air as we revealed what’s been cooking in the JustFoodERP R&D lab, during our User Event in Vegas yesterday afternoon.

Dan Rowe, Product Manager, and I reviewed some of the JustFoodERP 12.01 release functionality, which includes:

• 92 new features including:

  • Purchase rebates
  • Commodity allocation rebates
  • New, improved commissions
  • Role centers: 5 new or enhanced roles

• Notable enhancements including:

  • Sales pricing
  • Logistics – routes, runs
  • Document distribution (only RTC reports supported in 12.01)
• 900+ developer hours
• 96 bug fixes
• 65 Microsoft Knowledge Base articles

JustFoodERP Plant is a Big Hit!
 

We also demonstrated some of our new prototypes including:

1. JustFoodERP Plant, a desktop application using web services to bring key shop-floor functionality to the desktop utilizing a touch-friendly light interface, with

• Production output and consumption
• Future: Quality Audits

With JustFoodERP Plant, you can configure the interface to show only the fields the users need, with, real-time KPIs. And you benefit with a cheaper licensing model! The buzz at the User Event around JustFoodERP Plant has been especially positive and rampant!
 

2. Product Specifications

• Publish key product information to customers, vendors, employees, etc. using data directly from your JustFoodERP database:
  • Catch weight information
  • Lot production/expiration dates
  • Country of origin
  • Who was the item purchased from?
  • Who was the item sold to?
  • What ingredients/nutrients/allergens are contained in this item?
  • And more!

3. Quick Response (QR) codes

• Generate 3 types of QR codes directly from your JustFoodERP system: URL, map coordinates, and contacts
• Use QR codes in marketing campaigns or to streamline internal processes
• Applications to scan QR codes are available for all current mobile device platforms
• Example: Use a QR code that when scanned takes the user to a Product Specification website for the given item and lot

4. Role Center KPIs

•   Display key performance indicators directly on the role center page (example shown, right)
• Configure KPI thresholds directly in your JustFoodERP database
• Users can choose which KPIs are important for them to see and hide the rest
• Show or hide the values of the KPI so that performance can be communicated without displaying sensitive data

Stand by for an announcement this summer on the availability of JustFoodERP 12.01. By the way, you can keep up with JustFoodERP R&D by following @RfoodDfood on Twitter.
