The Frontier Project Tracker is designed
to address the business requirements
associated with the quotation, tracking, and ongoing
management of large scale development
projects.
This type of project typically has
multiple product releases planned over a time horizon,
with each release being based on a
standardized
set of plans, options and product
categories finalized and agreed upon during the
bidding
process. The Project Tracker is fully
integrated with the Frontier® ERP System, leveraging
Frontier® ERP based customer, product,
configuration, cost and pricing data,
as well as automatically generating sales
orders to process product releases.
The
Financial aspects of contract management
and contract billing have also been
addressed within the Frontier Project Tracker.
