SCOPE OF DEPLOYMENT OF VBF
VASTHRA - USPS
Vasthra straddles .Net technology to its fullest allowing it to offer features on windows, web, mobile and Hand held platforms which can all integrate seamlessly to offer complete control of the business.
The potent combination of very fast data aggregation and a robust alerting system (SMS/Mail) allows the management to configure business parameters and then allow Vasthra to monitor the business and to update them on the basis of the configured parameters leading to unprecedented freedom and time to plan for business expansion rather than “fire-fighting” on a day-to-day basis.
Vasthra Connect enables the management to access to data centralized from a single point as if it were an online solution, yet protects the system from the scenario of internet failure hampering online transactions.
Dual directional capability of Vasthra Connect not only allows for centralized reporting and analysis, but also allows them to control business parameters at all locations from a central point.
The presence of “live – tickers” at the centre allows the management to have real-time dashboards of the various trends that have a major impact on the business.
VASTHRA USPS - CONTINUED
Real time data synchronization ensures no/very little latency in centralized data accumulation and the effective architecture of Vasthra Connect removes the need for centralized data aggregation leading to quicker access to latest data for both monitoring and analysis that enable the business for faster reactions to market trends.
The dual nature of the databases at all points (OLTP and OLAP) allow for quick and simultaneous access to transactions as well as analysis without having an impact on the speed of the solution.
The presence of online (web based) reporting allows for ubiquitous access to data to the top management while the windows based transactions systems ensure continuous capture of data.
“Plug and play” nature of the Vasthra Business Framework allows the management to gradually scale up the automation of their business based on business growth and diversification without the need for large scale upgradation/revamp of the software solution.
