Within the field of factoring software a clear trend towards ERP-standard software and off individual applications/legacy systems can be recognised - a trend which has enforced long ago in each other industry! Meanwhile also the factoring industry has identified that individual developed solutions are a dead end - namely regarding the performance of the system as well as in respect of resource problems for the maintenance and further development of the individual software. Only integrated and flexible systems allow quick adjustments to market shifts on a continuing basis.

Right now factoring companies are searching for standard solutions which are able to administrate the permanently increasing customer needs and thus arising product variants. Furthermore, the purchase of new factoring software has to be cost-effective, i.e. the investment should be amortised as quickly as possible. In addition, the new software has to be future-proof, i.e. it must be able to grow with the increasing requirements of the factor and should therefore be customisable and easily to maintain.

All these requirements to standard software like protection of investment, guaranteed future and flexibility regarding the administration of new products can only be assured by strong ERP-systems (Enterprise Resource Planning) on a continuing basis.

Factors have to be cost-efficient which is only possible by the usage of SOA (“Service Oriented Architecture”) in order gain from the combination of various (already existing and new) IT-structures and therefore. fidis has implemented a SOA-structure into FACT.pilot. This enables their customers to be as flexible as possible.

ERP-systems like SAP R/3 consist of complex software in order to support the resource planning of an entire enterprise. The systems mainly differ in their market-orientation (targeted industry) and the company size.

More and more factoring clients tend to demand web-based services. ERP-systems enable also external persons to access the own system in real-time according to the authorisation without the necessity of software implementation. Those persons are then directly involved in the business transactions which means for you and your client an immense saving of time and therefore also cost advantages.

fidis has integrated its application FACT.pilot  into the standard of SAP R/3 without changing the standard. Hence, our solutions benefit from the strengths of the world-wide leading ERP-system.
