Out of the box, Pegasus Opera 3 offers an admirably broad range of functionality. However, for those looking to extend it further, Opera 3's add-on facility allows third-party developers to produce custom functionality for anything not covered by the core. Here we look at six of the best premium add-ons for SMEs.
1) Shopfront Ecommerce
This add-on provides integration with an e-commerce shopfront for B2B applications such as manufacturing, wholesale and distribution. With direct access to live prices, stock levels and promotional data, customers need never be presented with outdated resources and there is no requirement for laborious manual transcription of data between applications. Shopfront Ecommerce is a great aid to operational efficiency.
2) ROADS - Rapid Order And Distribution System
The ROADS add-on functions to streamline heavily loaded operations involving telesales, order fulfilment and distribution. Designed to work in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, ROADS helps to manage call cycles, order histories and delivery logistics to enhance productivity and profitability.
3) MJM BridgeWMS Traceability
For products involving complex supply chains and construction processes, traceability is vital. The MJM BridgeWMS Traceability add-on tracks all parts involved in a product's manufacture, even where they span multiple suppliers, giving a single start point for item tracing within complicated procurement networks.
4) CK Recruit - Personnel Recruitment Module
This module comprises two add-ons dedicated to personnel recruitment and management, for both permanent and temporary positions. The front-end add-on manages personnel data as well as job specifications and helps to streamline the recruitment process. Matches are proposed according to availability, suitability and geographical location.
