FAQ

ERP is an acronym that stands for Enterprise Resource Planning and refers to the integrated management of business processes. Organizations use ERP software to streamline the complexity of business processes such as taking orders, tracking raw materials and compliance reporting.

The most popular and recommended method of obtaining Tencia is via our subscription model.

Subscription gives you everything, every module, every feature, nothing more to pay. It includes all the specialist modules such as Payroll, Fixed Assets etc (Except BI) and it includes the yearly enhancement fee.

Subscription is $95/license per month. Minimum three months.

Exceptional value for a product of this kind.

We also have a purchase model, please call us on (03) 9570-2000 for price.

Unlike lesser products, Tencia is a full-featured ERP, with no compromises. And because each and every company works differently it’s impossible to pin down exactly how much it would cost to install.

We have done implementations that were as little as Ten Hours and others that were as much as Two Hundred Hours.

Experience has shown us, over and over again, that very soon after the installation begins, customers see the benefits of Tencia and add to the list of items that they want doing as part of the install.

No matter the size or type of business, every customer receives a full scope of works prior to commencement. It is your insurance of knowing exactly what it is that you are getting and how much it will cost.

We know that every business is unique and that a one-size-fits-all solution is unrealistic for our clients.  Therefore, we provide custom solutions to you.  We can configure existing modules, create custom built reports and modify system settings so that your solution is agile enough to meet your specific needs.  Our aim is to provide you with a system that delivers the real time business critical information to you in easy to follow reports, giving you the power to make timely business decisions.
