Pinnacle did a detailed study of their business requirements, designed the solution including backend integration to existing application. Implementation commenced only after there was buy-in of the design from middle and top management.
Pinnacle implemented Orion ERP from 3i Infotech using a fast track implementation methodology. Beyond the core features and functions of an ERP, we integrated with Orion, the Weigh Bridge application, which calculates the Truck weight, Gross weight, Net weight and the like. This was done to extend the overall benefits the Customer obtained from the Application.
