Sales Portal - Free Open Source Software available for download or as a hosted solution. Sales Portal was originally written in 2001 in Java to solve the data base syncing problems with multiple remote personnel and a mobile workforce for Customers Relationship Management, CRM, and Sales Force Managment, SFM. Sales Portal was written for personnel who needed a simpler way of handling their customer relationships, project management, calendering, document storage, maps, websites, notes and other key information without turning themselves into data entry clerks. Additionally, though some nice solutions existed in the marketplace, our customers also wanted the ability to own and modify the source code. Sales Portal is available for free download on SourceForge or the Sales Portal Website or from $9.95 for a hosted solution.

Order Portal - Free Open Source Software available for download or as a hosted solution. Order Portal is a B2B and B2C ecommerce web ordering system with easy to use end user controls and administration, Originally written in net.data on Websphere for the IBM iSeries in 2000 because we needed more than a website, we needed back end integration with legacy systems to handle complex transactions and multiple distribution channels. Order Portal was ported to Apache/Tomcat. It was rewritten to Java in 2003, and had a major refactoring in 2006 to handle increased volumes and new functionality. Order Portal is available for free download on SourceForge or from $39.95 for a hosted solution. Besides the stand alone deployment option, we currently have interfaces to VAI System 2000, DMAS, JD Edwards World, and Second Derivative.

Information Portal - Free Open Source Software available for download or as a hosted solution. Information Portal for Sales Portal, and Informations Portal for Financial Portal are now available as Free Open Source Software on SourceForge. Information Portal is a web application used for real time key business indicators presented in a centralized web browser with drill down capabilities, Originally, written in 2000 in Net.Data on the iSeries for executives making regular trips internationally and around the country who needed real time information on the financials, inventory and sales. Multiple spreadsheets, and report writers made it difficult to get everyone on the same page as the traveling executive. Rewritten to Java in 2003, it has had nearly constant upgrades, and additions over the years. Information Portal is not a report writer and not quite a dashboard and does required significant understanding of the underlying transaction system to install properly. It has become the real time reporting vehicle for all other 2D portals and can be especially effective for companies who need to have everyone on the same page on a real time basis. Currently we have interfaces to VAI System 2000, DMAS, JD Edwards World, and Second Derivative.

Financial Portal - Free Open Source Software available for download or as a hosted solution. Financial Portal is a flexible ebusiness financial and accounting web application system (OE or Order Entry, Inventory, AR or Accounts Receiveable, AP or Accounts Payable, Purchasing, GL or General Ledger). Originally written in 2003 in Java to address the need of a real time financial system which had become popular on the desktop but had not yet evolved for the midrange customer. Additionally, we needed browser based remote access to the system. Also, simple transaction reversal and modification without losing the audit trail were included. Reporting is real time through the Information Portal. It takes awhile for executives to get comfortable with seeing the real time status of the companies if they were used to highly polished monthly statements (often produced later). Finding out at month end became less valuable over time. Up to date information allowed earlier investigative or corrective action to be taken much sooner. Every operational transaction with financial impact is immediately posted to the General Ledger. Currently, a standalone Portal but has and will be interfaced to other Second Derivative Portals and Legacy Systems through Data Migration Portal.

Warehouse Management Portal - inventory and warehouse control through flexible and integrated systems using radio frequency. Originally written in RGP ILE for the iSeries because we needed serious warehouse management system without replicating the inventory management systems on the existing legacy system and with real time components for conveyors and reporting. Used in conjunction with RF Scanners and Information Portal, it is an effective warehouse management system with receiving, put away, picking, shipping, and physical inventory modules. Many of the components are still in RPG ILE and it will have to be rewritten to Java before it can be released to the Open Source Community. Still a great solution and very cost effective solution for the warehouse and even if you don't have an iSeries, just buy a used one. WMP should work with other transaction systems as long as they have a SQL data base, and a EDI interface (or flat file upload capability). Currently we have interfaces to VAI System 2000, DMAS, JD Edwards World, and Second Derivative.

Rental Portal - is a realtime web based rental system. Randr Inc. assisted in many Rental industry installations from 1995 to 2001 and has extensive expertise in the Rental Industry. We took our 11 Portal Packages in 2005 and integrated them into an alpha Rental Application coupled with Open Source Products for the Desktop, Open Source Infrastructure and Phone System Products to form the basis of a composite solution (Application and Open Source Solutions) for the Rental Industry to significantly reduce the cost per seat of a user, and to gain significant competitive advantages of web applications for customer, vendor, and ebusiness solutions. It can be a Global solution with multiple language and currency support, can provide custom customer interfaces with each major customer having their own screens. It can handle complex transactions: rental inventory, sales inventory, parts inventory, consignment inventory, repair, warranty, brokerage, etc. Each transaction has it own shopping cart which can be customized and additional custom transactions can be added without disrupting the core applications. We are looking for a couple of Beta sites and hosted sites in 2008 for development and bug fixes.

Failure Data Portal - Originally written in Java in 2003 to address world wide equipment repair and warranty requirements. FDP has evolved into a web base application that handles end user submissions, receipt and verification of equipment, repair, costing, invoicing and warranty claims, equipment and parts inventory, consignment inventory, real time status and email confirmation of key status, interfacing to manufacturing systems, partner systems, and customer systems. Unique and highly customized on the 2D base. Do not know if we can make this Portal Generic enough for release to the Open Source Community though most of the base Portals will be released, but we provide the source code to all of our customers regardless of the license type. It is an excellent solution for those who need to service and multi-tier repair/warranty network (Direct, Sub-Contractors and Partners, and end Customers).

Data Migration Portal - Disparate application interface for Data Migration and Transformation. Originally written in 2003 to handle remote manufacturers reps sending in flat file orders, and an intermediate EDI interface to a Legacy systems. DMP is an effective alternative to more complex systems to handle application data interfacing. Currently being refactored for Open Source and Open Source EDI, it will be further upgraded for better and standard messaging and hopefully be released to the Open Source Community in 2008. DMP will also replace the existing interfacing between the Second Derivative portals and become their standard interface. Currently it best used as the basis of a very cost effective EDI solution or as a flat file interface between desperate applications. We have interfaces to VAI System 2000, DMAS, JD Edwards World, and Second Derivative.
