Enterprise software solutions

Business software that is shaped to each client's processes

ESS, short for Enterprise Software Solutions, is a firm that offers software and services for business automation, data analysis and the technology that links them. The company describes itself as a global professional services firm. Its aim, as it presents it, is to build solutions that fit the needs of an individual business, and to make the information a company holds more mobile and more accessible across its existing structure.

Workflow and process automation

ESS builds configurable applications for workflow and business process automation. Its configurable apps let a client shape the screens, tables and reporting dashboards around its own processes, rather than adapting to a fixed product. The company says it can work in whichever technology best suits the process concerned, and it chooses its platforms for compatibility with existing hardware, scalability, performance, ease of use and cost-effectiveness.

Sales, inventory and resource planning software

For companies that need broader management software, ESS offers modules sold as software as a service. Its material names a sales force automation product and a resource planning suite covering purchasing, inventory, distribution, sales and financial activity. Because the modules are sold separately, a client can buy the parts it needs and stay within its budget, and the software can be customized to match the way the business runs.

Data science, machine learning and business intelligence

The company's data work covers business intelligence, data science, machine learning and modelling. Its mobile access-based data mining is aimed at finding inefficiencies and bottlenecks in complex supply chain, production and distribution networks. The point of this work, as ESS describes it, is to turn data that is already held into decisions about where a business is losing time or money.

Industrial automation and connected devices

ESS also offers industrial automation, which it describes as an integrated and flexible system for sensing, control, supervision and monitoring of industrial processes. Its services in this area include PLC programming, system integration, installation and commissioning, and industrial protocol development. The company also works on the Internet of Things, collecting and sharing data from physical devices that carry sensors and network connections.

NextGenLab for prototypes

The company runs a lab called NextGenLab, where concepts are built and tested before they are deployed. ESS says it helps a client build a concept from the ground up and then carries it out through the client's plants and locations, so that a new idea can be proven on a small scale before it is rolled out widely.
