Executive Summary
Solop is a web-based business and financial management system that improves the productivity of your company. The software runs hosted in the cloud, so you can operate it from anywhere and on any device.
It can be used by medium-sized companies, or by companies with multiple units and hundreds of employees in multiple countries and currencies. Additionally, it provides a robust set of financial, business, service, procurement and accounting functions that can be used in any type of industry.
How will Solop improve your business?
As the person responsible for your business decisions, you probably wonder about the benefits you will obtain if you implement a good management system or, looking at it from another side, what is the cost of not having the appropriate system to manage your company.
Another question you may ask yourself is: will improving efficiency in my company by making processes more transparent and measurable result in savings that will generate greater profitability for my company?
Cloud-based technology
Unlike traditional client-server platforms, Solop was designed to operate without installing any files or components on the client’s computer.
Powerful backend
It was developed with robust cutting-edge technology. Its structure in different “layers” provides economy in maintenance and solidity in management.
Friendly user interface
Its minimalist design consolidates a visual, controls and iconography linked to the intuitive and oriented towards a healthy user experience (UX).
Centralized security
Security issues were addressed by implementing strong user authentication, auditing, encryption, and server-based validation logic.
Platform Benefits
Quick customization
Built-in web-based customization tools let you change the appearance of screens, business logic, and database fields. Customizations are stored separately from the core application code so they can be easily exported. Additionally, updates and upgrades to the main app do not affect existing customizations.
Agile development.
New modules can be developed without worrying about HTML, CSS, HTTP and JavaScript. The core features that Solop developers used to create all Solop modules are available to value-added partners so your application can be customized and enhanced as your needs change.
Easy to maintain.
All customizations are stored in the database so you can back up code and data changes with a single backup process. Since there is no client software to maintain, backups are managed centrally.
Multi-level architecture.
The UI elements are completely separated from the business logic, which is separate from the database access layer.
Manage your company
Centralized process automation
Solop includes an integrated set of enterprise-class financial, sourcing, distribution, project accounting, customer management and manufacturing functionalities. These capabilities share a common relational database, so data is shared in real time across all capabilities, dashboards, and the reporting engine.
An integrated data management system allows you to maintain business plans, policies, forecasts and procedures online and associate them with financial transactions to provide a complete view of your company. *Role policies allow people both inside and outside your company to use the system, always accessing only what is appropriate.
The result is the automation of the complete process that involves all aspects of your business. People, documents, materials, and processes are organized and coordinated using the business rules you establish.
*Role policies allow both internal users (collaborators) and external users (suppliers, clients, advisors, auditors, etc.) to the organization to interact with the system (only accessing what they are allowed to do or view).
By unifyingly managing all these elements in a cloud system, your company will obtain the following benefits:
Simplified audit: documents, comments, receipts, contracts are linked directly to all documents, such as invoices. This allows anyone to access linked and relevant content from a single place. Detailed system auditing allows you to know who created, modified or deleted any record. Bosses, managers, auditors and the users themselves have all the power in one click.
Customer lifecycle management: Data and documents are linked to customers throughout their business process. Leads can be acquired through a web form, assigned to sellers, converted to customers, and managed according to company policies. During that period, marketing, sales, customer service, finance, and other departments have access to consistent information.
Accurate sales forecasts and budgets: Centralized storage provides up-to-date data to ensure accurate business budgeting and planning. The ability to integrate different people (marketing, sales, finance, warehouse), different functionalities and different documents improves the forecasting process.
Better reporting: The integrated reporting engine provides speed and accuracy when viewing information. This means that any data that is in the system can be related to any other and shown to interested parties online and immediately. Once created, reports can be recorded and made available to authorized users. The inquiry screens provide navigation capabilities so you can locate documentation related to the transaction.
Involve everyone
A connected company is an empowered company, that means that your entire team is motivated to meet objectives.
Role-based security lets you control which users have access to exactly what data. A user’s access rights can be limited to specific documents, general ledger accounts, customers, suppliers, projects. As the Internet has shown, the value of a system is proportional to the number of people who use it.
The following table summarizes some of the types of users who will benefit:
As more and more users join the system, opportunities for collaboration and efficient information sharing increase. The amount of data circulating via email will decrease and customers will always have access to the documents they need.
Example: entry of hours
Problem: Many times companies need their employees to enter the hours they dedicate to certain jobs and to do so they ask employees to complete forms indicating the hours of entry and exit. Solop automates the entry of hours into the system, making this task very easy and fast.
Example: Reimbursement of expenses
Problem: When employees make expenses for the company using their own money, the process for returning the money spent is often quite cumbersome, since they must present proof of expenses or send them by email. Solop automates this process of requesting, approving and paying the expense reimbursement.
Individually managed, centrally controlled
Individual users can customize their windows, dashboards, and indicators to get the information they need quickly in grid or document format.
For example:
- Salespeople can choose to include tasks, opportunities, leads, business accounts on their dashboard, and charts that show performance against their sales budget.
- Finance can choose to create a dashboard with income, expenses, customer invoices due, and vendor invoices due.
- Logistics can select to view orders that are pending delivery and levels of missing merchandise.
- Each user can use ERP’s rapid, online deployment to easily create a customized dashboard. The tasks of each user are automatically displayed to present each user’s pending work.
Data uniqueness
The heart of Solop is a single, powerful database. In this way it is possible to share all types of information entered by all users instantly and throughout the company. This centralized structure avoids having to enter the same data several times, always reusing the entered data.
Management with accounting
Solop accounts directly from the operations and has the ability to generate accounting entries according to good “management accounting” practices.
Connect with whoever you want
In today’s world, it is proven that integration is vital for the efficiency of companies . The best business management platforms are not simple isolated and disconnected solutions but rather those that can be integrated with other systems that are used on a daily basis.
The great advantage of Solop ERP being a web-based system is its ease of connecting securely with third-party systems. These third-party systems can be from the general system or from the vertical system related to your company’s sector of activity.
Let’s see how Solop makes it possible
General connectivity

Control panels and indicators by role
There is a lot of data that companies work with every day; There are many verification controls and important decisions that must be made and the success of the business will depend on them.
To facilitate the visualization of relevant information, Solop makes a data panel available to each role to display the information that each area defines as significant to verify compliance with its objectives.
The dashboard transforms data into information and makes it easier for the entire team to make decisions.
How does Solop transform data into information?
Depending on what you need to display, the user can select from the pre-configured elements, the type of element to display;
- Graphic representations: pie, bar, trend
Ranking Tables of best 10: sales to the best 10 clients - Comparative tables of different dates: Sales per customer today versus previous month
- Indicators: % fulfillment of a goal
- Values of an element: number of orders entered
- Can you imagine that every day, when you start your activity, your ERP provides you with updated information on the main indicators of your area of responsibility?
Benefits
Instantly updated data: visual information containing outstanding indicators, tables and graphs, relevant to each role.
Greater visibility. Real-time visibility of important information for each area substantially improves productivity.
Role-based security. Each member of your team only has access to the information appropriate for their role.
Mobility
Today we cannot think of a modern system without allowing access from the mobility of a tablet or cell phone.
It is essential that the ERP system can be used in web environments in a complete or reduced way, eliminating the technology of virtual private networks (VPN), which are slow and already obsolete.
This allows your team to work in real time, in an integrated way and eliminate paper as much as possible.
Some examples of how mobility helps you productivity:
App for sellers:
Taking orders, routes, price lists, available stock
Application for warehouse and logistics:
Stock counting, transfer between warehouses, product receipt, product picking, product weighing
Tracking application:
- Delivery control, order tracking
- Document approval application
- Document approval by role
- Application for loading hours
- Load of hours, tasks, projects
Consolidate your operations
When a company has several units or investments to manage and control, the consolidation of information from its units becomes vital, and Solop helps you have the visibility you need.
A single Solop instance can support multiple organizations, which can be several different companies with different tax IDs or multiple business locations. This allows the entire operation to be managed centrally, with the same processes and saving many IT resources.
Same sector of activity
