The Slingshot enterprise resource planning software suite (eCity) has been designed with your business in mind. Three technical generations and almost 30 years have gone into ensuring that our products will meet your unique requirements. Slingshot’s Package Plus approach to software development ensures your systems can be easily:
- Changed by you – update your own data structures, system logic as well as screen content and layout, without programming
- Upgraded by you – automatically preserving your custom changes when new versions are released (by us!)
- Implemented with lower risk and shorter timeframes than has been possible before now
- Future proofed, given that they’re distributed over the internet and can be changed quickly and easily
- Used by your team and trading partners alike (as long as they’re all on planet earth and have an internet connection)
- Integrated with the other systems you rely on to run your business
Using the rapid application development capability of our proprietary system, eTools, you will be able to exploit the power of the internet, collaborate with your trading partners and enjoy real time feedback on your businesses’ performance through any number of configurable indicators. Slingshot supports its products with full business consulting services and a service organization characterized by a single point of accountability.
eCity is a multilingual, multi currency enterprise control solution, specializing in:
- Sales Order Management
- Procurement & Requisition Management
- Inventory & Supply Chain Management
- Advanced Financial Management
A NEW APPROACH TO BUSINESS SYSTEM OWNERSHIP
Like all Slingshot products, the customer relationship management module is developed using eTools, our rapid application development tool. Owning eTools enables you to remove your dependence on a third party vendor for the support of your systems. This significantly lowers your costs and risk exposure.
