Educational University - Far Eastern University

As part of our founders’ aspirations to provide quality and future ready education for all, FEU persistently invests in upgrading its facilities and systems to promote a better school experience. FEU has been doing various technology upgrades since the late 1990s.

In 2015, the University decided to undertake a major change in its enrollment system. Softype was the partner selected for the upgrade. The work involved putting the various processes in the enrollment system under one platform linked to our accounting system. We maximized the software to improve key enrollment areas such as registration and finance. We receive synchronized reports and real time updates and students can enroll from anywhere without having to go on campus. As FEU continually expands to cater to more students and provide more services, the cloud system allows us to automatically to increase server resources when a high volume of users or transactions are being detected. The flexibility benefits not only our students but also our school staff, especially now while our movement is limited due to the ongoing covid 19 pandemic.

Softype has been our partner in continuing our mission for best education services. We look forward to exploring more innovative solutions to deepen the value proposition of an FEU education.

Preferred Popcorn

After implementing NetSuite in 2017, we realized there was more we wanted it to do. Fortunately, when attending NetSuite SuiteWorld in 2018, we met Arvind Khilnani, Softype’s co-founder. In multiple conversations, he showed us some things that Softype could configure / implement for us, including the NetSuite Customer Center. After that, we just kept building a relationship.  

Our main challenges included expanding on NetSuite and making it better for our organization. Some of the projects that Softype has assisted with included accounts payable (AP) automation, vendor qualification, and assisting with British Retail Consortium (BRC) certification. Preferred Popcorn has now used Softype for about the past 4 years for all kinds of different services. Yuga has been our main contact; she’s been great to work with. We signed an open ended agreement with Softype where we are billed yearly but use services throughout the year. We have different functional managers which come to us with projects which we then submit and build upon.

Digital Printing Chain of Stores

We had an existing ordering system, but it was not fully functional as it was not web-based and our sales officers always needed to report back to the office to process orders. Our 2 other branches also couldn’t use it, so they had a different system of processing orders. Most of the monitoring had to be done manually and inter-branch transactions were not easy to do.

Until this year (2018) , when we heard of Softype (Netsuite). We were reluctant (to switch to Netsuite) at first, not believing it was possible for Softype to fit Netsuite into our current setup. Netsuite not only made our ordering system available online, it made it possible for our other branches to use the same system we were using. All sections and departments were now centralized (sales, accounting, inventory, production status, etc.) and everyone across all branches was able to see everything in one platform.

We would not have reached this point in using the system with so much ease if it were not for the dedication and hard work of the members of Softype. I highly recommend Netsuite, especially for businesses that are trying to find a way to organize their records and monitor all data accurately. If you are a business owner struggling with similar issues as we were, Netsuite is the way to go.

Leading African Payments Solution Platform

From the very first meeting with Softype, when I was selecting a new financial accounting software, I knew I was dealing with professional dedicated experts. The team took time to understand our business and needs and expectations and delivered a bespoke solution in the timescale requested. 

Throughout the implementation process, the lines of communication were fluid and issues resolved immediately. Afterwards, the team was always there for us to help with any problems that cropped up while we were learning.

Softype, Inc. has been very efficient and professional in working with our company. Within 4 months, they have delivered and we went LIVE with our customized Netsuite ERP. I haven’t encountered any such company that can deliver and understand how to synchronize both management and IT at the same time. 

Softype, Inc. has truly given Netsuite ERP a name above the rest. We are proud to be partners with Softype, Inc.

CEO

Supermarket Chain

As the company scaled and experienced hypergrowth to compete in the already fast – paced industry of retail and wholesale supermarkets, we were facing a voluminous number of issues daily that we needed to resolve just to ensure our stores had stocks and our vendors were paid on time. When Softype presented to us a solution, it seemed too good to be true! We were quite skeptical, after having bad experiences with system implementations in the past. But our doubts were proven wrong with their exceptionally talented, driven and focused team as Softype delivered excellently without compromising timelines, cost, and user comfort level. Support was quick, customizations were well-thought of, and business process change management was properly aligned. 

Netsuite is a great software that allowed balance between rigidity of controls and flexibility for business. Yet the level of excellence it can do for one’s business will only be as good as how it is implemented and its functionality translated fittingly to the business process – something which Softype precisely was able to deliver brilliantly.
