Ultimate SE and Ultimate
Bendex Enterprise Suite Ultimate special features
PCM - Premium Customer Membership
PCM – Premium Customer Membership is an optional package of additional services for more demanding projects. It includes previews, feature requests, a sandbox system and higher service levels with support and training on a fair-use basis.
Customisation, branding
Customisation and the implementation of logos, login screens and corporate identity colours are only available with Ultimate SE or Ultimate products.
Dedicated TEST environment
For larger installations and customers who require approval and acceptance procedures before a new release, a separate test environment based on a dedicated test branch is optionally available.
Sandbox system
The optional sandbox system uses a separate database on the main Bendex system. The three main modules can start in sandbox mode and connect to this database for testing without creating records in the main system.
Multi-facility functionality
Multi-facility functionality supports several sales and production sites within one Bendex system. It can use a multi-branch setup, where each site has a separate branch, or an integrated setup with all sites in one branch. A setup based on multiple branches offers more advanced and detailed integration.
On-premise / cloud installations
Bendex Ultimate systems can be installed and maintained on-premise, in hosted environments or in the cloud.
