Functional specification of Prim.io

The Prim.io ERP system is not only accessible without on premise installation, but also functioning on all types of Android and iOS smart phones and tablets. ERP + CRM + automated connection with multiple international sales channels, payment systems and couriers. A system that is pre-set and ready to go! With the options of importing quickly and easily all the information you need.

Architecture and system management

Roles

The system allows you to work not only with a specific user but also with an abstract “role” (position in company). So, when you replace an employee, the only thing you have to do is set up which roles the new employee is involved in. Working with roles also simplifies the internal management of the company, because you do not have to refer to a specific employee but to a role. The roles in the system are arranged hierarchically.

Users

Users in the system have their own username and password. The individual username and password ensure that individual user actions can be recorded and tracked. Users in the system are organized by roles. One user can have multiple roles, and their rights become the aggregate rights of all their roles, which determine what they can see, and which operations and actions they can perform. Exceptions are made for the rights of accountable persons. They are assigned to a specific person when their responsibility is personal and not merely a role. Cash and bank accounts and warehouses have accountable persons.
