Product · Phoenix ERP

The company system, with your name on it.

Phoenix is a modular ERP. One installation can serve several companies. Each company has its own data, users, roles, branding, and web address. Staff work in the ERP. Customers and resellers use the shop.

The staff screens show the company’s branding, with a footer line that the software is powered by Datavan (Pty) Ltd.
