Quick answers
Below is a selection of our frequently asked questions about W3ERP, ERP in general and the industries we work in. They are short answers that take a minute to read, and we review them when the product or the regulations change. The full list is on the frequently asked questions page.
How long has USER Informática been in business?
Since 1990. USER Informática was founded that year in Valencia, Spain, and has been developing business software ever since. It started on Nixdorf Computer and Siemens Nixdorf equipment, moved to Fujitsu Siemens Computers in 1995, to Siemens and Hewlett-Packard in 2005 and to Occentus Networks in 2015, and today runs on Amazon Web Services. Its software has gone from character mode and MS-DOS to fully web applications.
What is the difference between the shade and the calibre of a tile?
The shade is the colour variation between different firings of the same tile model, and the calibre is the difference between the real size of the piece and its nominal size. Both are shown by a code printed on each box and must not be mixed in the same room. That is why the warehouse manages them as batch keys and the ERP must reserve and ship by shade and calibre.
Which industries does UserIT work with?
Any industry. Today it has clients in five: ceramics and materials; furniture, upholstery and bedding; culture, leisure and events; public sector; and industry, energy and other fields. Each one has its own page, with its challenges and the W3ERP modules it uses most. If your industry is not on the list, W3ERP is adapted to it in the custom development layer.
Does W3ERP have to be installed on company computers?
No. W3ERP has been 100% web since 2005: it is used from the browser and there is no program to install on the company computers. Access works the same from the office, the factory or a mobile device. The platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services and maintained by the UserIT team.
What is an ERP and what is it for in a company?
An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is business management software that brings the sales, purchasing, production, warehouse and accounting of a company together in a single database. It makes every department work with the same data: stock, orders and invoices match what is in the warehouse and what has been delivered to each customer.
