We have better!
The software interface is fully “responsive” (adapted to the size of the screen) and all the features are available.
In other words, you do not need a mobile application to access via mobile or tablet. Just open a browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Explorer, Edge and more) and go to your login link (www.your-company.phpreaction.com).
For the sake of speed, you can create a shortcut type icon on your home screen to access it even more easily.
Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs
Already more than 10 years!
The PHPReaction software suite was developed by PHPCreation, a firm specializing in custom software development.
The demands of our customers were growing. The goal was to have a solid solution that would make it possible to increase productivity in management, to overcome their limits, in order to remain competitive in the market.
We listened to our customers, and so in 2002, we started the ERP suite project according to the sustained requests of our customers for management software, based on their experiences of their realities in business.
In 2008, the first version of the ERP suite was deployed, and since then we have continued to listen to our customers to bring continuous improvement to our products and services.
In 2015, a new version was released. We have not finished innovating and moving forward to satisfy our customers and our future customers.
To date, more than 100 companies are actively using the PHPReaction suite to run their business efficiently.
Among them, several have been active since the beginning of PHPReaction more than 6 years ago.
In addition, we have some who have pushed the limits of the system in order to achieve more performance and aim for automation. We find custom programming services to customize the solution in their organization.
Due to the simplicity of the system, many customers do their implementation without our intervention.
The objective of the custom implementation is to be a guide throughout the implementation of the system. Over the years we have counted more than twenty.
This reduces the risk, related costs and time in system change.
Custom implementations normally include several steps in order to complete the project.
• Consultation to clearly identify the objectives and needs of the company
• Comparisons between the current situation, the future situation and the company’s long-term objectives.
• Planning of business processes and linking them to software
• Initial system configuration to save you time and achieve optimal results
• Assistance with the first attempt to confirm the previous steps (Dry run)
• Plan the changes and the implementation schedule
• Programming to customize or specialize your solution.
• Data migration and conversion
• Documentation of procedures for users.
• Assistance during the final implantation (Go Live)
• User support
That’s an excellent question.
Our systems are designed to be quick and easy to set up.
Allow approximately 1 month per selected software.
Of course, several factors influence the delay.
- The initial preparation
- The priority of the company
- The availability of the people responsible for the project
- The number of users
- The complexity of the business
