1. Background
I am a manager of an enterprise. The company has developed to the present stage, and I feel that it has entered a bottleneck period. The work of each employee has been saturated, and it is difficult to squeeze out time to do other things. We need a suitable management software to cooperate with us. Work.
I originally planned to buy a set of management software, but the reality is not that simple.
Many times, the management software on the market is a mixed bag, finding some outsourcing teams does not work well in practical applications, and the problems in the project are also quite difficult. Later, I learned that low-code development tools can allow people with weak programming foundations to learn to build a management system in a short time, so I spent a few days learning, and built a purchase, sales and inventory management system following the tutorial . How is this possible? Let's talk about it next.
2. Understanding low code
What is low code? Many people don't quite understand it, so here's a brief introduction:
Like traditional IT development, it is necessary to implement software systems or software construction projects through code writing according to user needs. The whole process includes requirements capture, analysis, design, implementation and testing. The development cycle is generally long. This is why our company Will choose low code to assist development.
On the whole, the existence of low-code has many uses, a small amount or even no need to write code, and various application systems can be quickly built by dragging and dropping in a visual way. The biggest role is to simplify the construction process, time, cost, etc. , lower the threshold for enterprise system construction, and make it a standard for ordinary employees to get started.
For example, my business colleagues can also develop systems based on JNPF. We cooperate harmoniously and develop efficiently.
3. How to move the process online in only 4 days?
First of all, to build an efficient invoicing system, we need a rapid development platform.
JNPF Developer Center: https://www.jnpfsoft.com/?csdn
Here, we use the JNPF rapid development platform to build a solution that focuses on order processing and integrates procurement, sales, inventory management, and collection and payment for problems such as corporate account confusion, inaccurate inventory, and untimely information feedback. , the purpose is to help business personnel improve work efficiency, and the enterprise can fully grasp the company's business in real time, so as to make timely and accurate business decisions.
Now, when we start to build an invoicing system, we need to take these five aspects into consideration: basic data, purchasing management, sales management, inventory management, and financial management.
1) Basic data module
An important basis for building an invoicing system, mainly used to record some basic information, such as new warehouses, product classifications, new products, new suppliers, and new customer segments. These data can be called by other modules in the system, thereby avoiding repeated entry and improving work efficiency.
JNPF is equipped with a powerful form engine function, like "Lego", drag-and-drop form design, rich field types, you can also define form styles, set data linkage, formula functions, logic rules, etc., and build quickly.
2) Purchasing management module
Through the three sections of purchasing orders, purchasing warehousing, and purchasing and returning goods, the whole process of purchasing logistics and capital flow is tracked, and the management of material supply is improved.
Combined with the form engine and the powerful JNPF workflow engine, it provides solid technical support for the efficient flow of business. And the visual process design interface is easy to use and extremely powerful, and you can easily create, change, and maintain business process applications without code.
3) Sales management module
Help enterprises to effectively control and track the whole sales process through sales quotations, sales orders, shipments, returns and other functional sections, so that enterprises can timely and accurately adjust corresponding procurement and sales strategies based on sales information
4) Inventory management module
Through functional sections such as product warehousing, allocation, and inventory, it assists enterprises to grasp product inventory more quickly and accurately, so that enterprises can timely and accurately adjust corresponding procurement and sales strategies based on product inventory information.
5) Financial Management Module
It makes statistics on the financial expenditure and income involved in the procurement and sales process, helps enterprises analyze the financial operation status, and realizes the reconciliation function of suppliers and customers, so as to better grasp the flow of funds.
One thing to note is that when building an invoicing system, we should also pay attention to openness and scalability. It is necessary to ensure that the system can quickly and accurately respond to changes in the business and management needs of the enterprise, and meet the rapid expansion of the enterprise to new business areas to adapt to market uncertainties.
3. Summary
After the experience of the entire JNPF application development process is completed. Personally, I think its comprehensive usability and market price-performance ratio are pretty good. It takes 10 minutes to complete a basic application, and it takes 2-3 hours to figure out the usage process and the location of basic functions of the entire system. The product's function integration and complex operation balance are also more reasonable.
If you are an IT technician, project implementation manager, professional developer, or someone interested in low-code, you can try it, and I believe it will bring you a different experience.
