Standard modules
The range of standard modules of flora2000 is starting to get a respectable length. Uniware follows the following strategy for the development of these modules:
By being constantly involved in the daily practice of our customers wishes, ideas and trends are identified. Minor changes are directly implemented in the standard modules, bigger changes are planned.
Larger functional changes are often housed in separate modules.
If a customer thinks that the development of such larger changes should be given priority, such a project can be performed entirely or partially custom.
The costs will be determined in consultation and are partly dependent on the usability of these modules by our other customers.
Customized adjustments offer our acquaintances, alongside the ability to influence the planning, the privilege to be the First to use it.
Subsequently, these modules will be available for our other customers at a normal commercial rate.
Exclusive customized work, under the flora2000 concept, is not available from Uniware!
Parameters
Flora2000 contains a comprehensive set of parameters that can tailor the package to the user.
These parameters are used to control access within a specific module, but also many things that can affect all users can be set.
For example, it can be indicated whether the package is set for flowers, plants or both, whether there is sold from stock or on order, but also there can be made detailed instructions on how prices, invoices and quotations should be handled.
Some of the parameters can be set by the application manager himself.
Besides things that are set for all users of the system, there are several possible settings for specific users. These settings can also be maintained by the user himself.
Security
Flora2000 is protected against unintentional use at various levels.
First there is the usual guard at system level, and if the system is part of a network also on network level. This shielding is provided by the operating system and can be set by the administrator.
Application-level data security is provided by the application administrator.
After Uniware activates the for the company available modules, the application administrator can indicate which users have access to certain modules. This may at any time be changed by the application administrator.
It is also possible to create different levels of users. For example, internal users are generally allowed to see more than those who are connected from outside of the system.
If users from the outside (internet) are granted access to the system, security measures can be additionally extended. Firewalls and dynamically created access codes are examples.
Supporting software
There are a number of supportive programs available for flora 2000, that can perform tasks for flora2000 without requiring any action of the user.
Daemon2000 ensures the execution of certain activities for flora2000 on an optimal time, without the user having to give an explicit mandate, and without hindering the user.
