Openda Ltd. is a software provider that offers Supply Chain software for small to medium enterprises. Openda was established in 1997, when it was called P.A.L. (Progress Accord Limited).

The Company

Openda is based in Swindon, Wiltshire in the UK, and provides complete supply chain solutions for small to medium-sized businesses. The company was established in 1997, when two multi-million pound supply chain companies put a joint proposal together to produce a complete and integrated solution.

Over the intervening years, the company's customer base has grown to include companies not only in the UK but also Europe and the USA. Currently, the customers who use Openda's software trade in a large range of products, from high specification lot-tracable cabling and wiring, medical and beauty care, through to time-critical food products like milk and cream, to toys, packaging, and very high volume low cost plumbing goods.

Since mid 2005, Openda has focused its main energy to developing GUI software to replace the original character-based version. Openda began actively marketing this new software as two separate products in the first half of 2006, QX and QXLite.

Technologies

Openda uses Progress OpenEdge Advanced Business Language for the database backend[2].

The front end is unique because it is a very thin client, entirely developed by Openda in Visual Basic. By going around the object-oriented offering provided by Progress itself, almost all processing is actually done by the back-office server, leaving the user's PC free to run other programs with little or no interference.

The main hardware for servers running Openda's software system is provided either by IBM or Dell, with the Red Hat distribution of Linux as the preferred operating system.

Products

QX and QXLite are the only two products marketed at the moment, with QXLite being a simple cut down version for very small businesses, with the bonus of being able to upgrade easily on demand.

Features

Openda QX is a broad application covering business functions as diverse as CRM, ERP, ecommerce, customer support through actual order status and tracking, accounting, inventory management, warehouse management, purchase forecasting and scheduling, mobile invoicing, complete salesman notation, email marketing, document image processing and multiple document output formats[3].

Also, the system includes a user tasks and memos feature, as well as having the ability of alerting on stock, orders, customers and suppliers.

The system includes a diverse list of generic reports as standard, with customisations and new reports designed if needed.

For customers that require it, Openda QX has the ability to send invoices and receive orders via EDI, which would appear to be lacking in the nearest major competitors, such as Sage and NetSuite[3].

Certifications

Openda gained ISO-9001 approval in 2006[1].
