Modular Architecture of Plotch ERP
Plotch ERP is an E-commerce ERP for small businesses. It is a unique ERP as it is built grounds up for ecommerce businesses only. Today big online marketplaces in India like Craftsvilla.com and Jharonka.com use plotch for their marketplace operations and analytics.
The ecommerce businesses have process flows which are very different from traditional brick and mortar businesses. For example, chatbots, app notifications, social media analytics and deep trackable customer funnels usually are missing in offline businesses. Even business models like marketplaces are uniquely online. These business models and process flows can be very complex and dynamic. For example, how a product flows for a brand retailer from warehouse to customer is different than how it flows for a marketplace.
All these varied process flows, would ideally require an ERP which is very specific but not necessarily custom built. This would mean that you should be able to easily build this using modules which can be easily connected together in a simple way. Also you should be able to attach and detach these modules or make them active and inactive in real time.
Plotch ecommerce software is built using modular architecture where you create by piecing together modules as you wish — something similar to how you can build your Lego toys using interlocking blocks.
To make ERP dynamic in nature, every module when launched is given life and is called an instance. If a module is instantiated, it takes a form. Therefore a module can have millions of forms which can be created and destroyed very easily which makes this ERP very agile and dynamic in nature. For example, who can create a promotion instance which can be timed and attached to a ecommerce hub even for few hours.
Plotch ERP is completely cloud based which means it can be accessed from anywhere and does not need installation. Plotch ERP is also very mobile friendly.
The ERP architecture of Plotch is truly innovative and should benefit lot of small businesses as they enter the exciting world of ecommerce.
