For businesses with a need for improvements in specific areas or wanting to take a step-by-step approach, Planability will implement the relevant parts of ETI/OTI and, where appropriate, deliver custom-made databases.
New products to be announced very soon include a stand-alone stock and inventory control module and a business system specific to subcontract engineering.
