Further improved workflow support for Nuclos Open Source ERP

Version 3.5 of the free ERP toolkit is available for download / New features for the graphical display of information

Sauerlach (Munich), July 30, 2012 – The new release 3.5 provides users of the free open source ERP construction kit Nuclos with optimized workflow support and new features for the graphical display of information. It is now available for free download at www.nuclos.de. The new version of Nuclos also supports the IBM DB2 database. With the ERP construction kit, companies can quickly and cost-effectively implement ERP solutions for their individual business processes (Nuclets). Companies that are already using an older version of Nuclos can easily update it with the installer provided and then use the new features directly in existing Nuclets. The update only takes a few seconds.

Efficient mass workflows and a better overview

The improved workflow support in Nuclos 3.5 now enables users to process and manage mass workflows more easily and therefore more quickly. Status changes or work steps can now be carried out on several objects simultaneously, for example, orders can be summarized from an overview list and a collective invoice can be generated for all individual orders or the distribution of incoming orders to the relevant departments can be carried out much more efficiently with fewer clicks. This also makes it easier for employees to maintain an overview of the status of a large number of detailed tasks within a project.

The new features for the graphical display of information on the screen also provide a better overview. This makes it possible to quickly and easily create any diagrams from any content in Nuclos “on demand” and integrate them into a Nuclet. Intuitive wizards help the user with the definition and integration. Developments and correlations are easier to reproduce with a graphical representation and can be made accessible to all participants at the click of a mouse. In most cases, this also makes paper output unnecessary.

Philosophy of short release cycles

“With the fast release cycles of Nuclos, we are consistently pursuing the strategy of iterative adaptation to new requirements, just as users do when creating their individual ERP solution based on Nuclos,” says Ramin Göttlich, Managing Partner of manufacturer Novabit. “Updating to the latest Nuclos version takes just a few seconds at the touch of a button. All new features are then immediately available to users in their existing Nuclets. Nuclos eliminates the problem of update incompatibility of individually customized applications, as is the case with other ERP systems.”
