For years, business software has been viewed as a necessary but expensive cost centre by business owners and operational decision-makers alike. However, there is now a product sweeping through the African business community that is changing this perception for good. Orbis Software South Africa, the appointed distributor for Orbis Software, has brought the TaskCentre integration and business process automation platform to the African business community, and adoption of this powerful but affordable solution has been rapid.
What does Orbis Software South Africa do?
Extending capabilities of business systems through automation and integration, saving costs where system, staff, process change or replacement is considered.
What is TaskCentre?
"To existing businesses in Africa that use TaskCentre, it is seen as a virtual employee that works 24/7, 365 days a year, but commercially it is positioned as a business process management (BPM) suite. In essence, it is an integration, workflow and business process automation "add on" for core business software solutions such as ERP, CRM, WMS, finance and bespoke applications, etc. The product enables businesses to integrate systems through a drag-and-drop, code-free environment. This is one of the main factors behind the product's rapid adoption in the African market," explained Gustav van Pletzen, co-owner, Orbis Software South Africa.
What does it do?
"TaskCentre presents business owners and operational decision-makers with the ability to automate repetitive and costly employee processes that currently detract from a company's profitability. It also presents businesses with the ability to automate processes, which improves employee productivity or creates new revenue streams. Unlike many other software applications, the ROI from deploying TaskCentre is quick - very quick. Automation harbours all the characteristics a business owner looks for: speed, consistency, rules driven and profitable," Gerda Christoph, co-owner, Orbis Software South Africa, acknowledged.
