The information that you manage everyday with Mago.net is a precious corporate asset. A focused analysis of the corporate information allows making the right decisions at the right time.

Mago.net provides an integrated tool, Woorm, which is useful in order to create and modify reports. Nevertheless, at times, a report is not enough. The report lacks in providing immediate interpretation through, for example, graphs. Also, the report does not have the dynamism and elasticity that often proves to be of crucial importance in certain areas.
The solution, offering dynamism, accuracy, elasticity and immediacy in reading and understanding the company, is called InfoBusiness. InfoBusiness is the Business Intelligence solution, made in Zucchetti, perfectly integrated with Mago.net thanks to the InfoBusiness Connector module.

Just imagine being able to view your sales numbers organized according to the total amounts instead of according to the client. With a report, you should normally ask for an update (...a not easy task). With InfoBusiness all you need to do is double click!

With the Business Intelligence, you can see the data organized in a different format instead of the usual list: you can see the information distributed on a map, upon which (thanks to different color shades) you can immediately identify the different areas profitability. Through the use of a histogram or pie chart, you can rapidly understand the trends and distribution of the company dynamics. The dashboards instead, provide you with clear and immediate indicators in order to understand if you are facing positive or negative information. You can also the see the information in a chart format but with dynamism unknown until today. You can drag the information so to create on the spot groupings, and you are free to enter information that was initially ignored...in other words, you now can analyze the data how you consider most suitable, hence gaining benefits from an efficiency and efficacy point of view for your everyday work.

With InfoBusiness Connector, Microarea provides you with a tool perfectly shaped to your company needs. Thanks to the full integration existing between Mago.net and InfoBusiness it is you who decides which data shall be managed by the Business Intelligence. You can analyze the data concerning the financials and forecast accounting, the credit and debit exposure, the data referring to the jobs, the sales/purchase cycle, and warehouse.

Thanks to the new module, Mago.net can now be considered as a software perfectly integrated with a Business Intelligence tool, hence ensuring top reliability. The procedure specifically created by Microarea, jointly with the InfoBusiness Development team, is in fact able to generate automatically the information infrastructure necessary for the correct functioning of the Business Intelligence.
As usual, Microarea will keep in high regard the practical side of the offered solutions. InfoBusiness Connector allows operating straightaway thanks to swift and easy settings.
In order to show you (in an entertaining way) the characteristics of the new module and the potential benefits for your company, a short video (with subtitles in English) has been made available. You can watch the video on the Microarea YouTube channel...and you can enter a comment! 

Efficacy, integration, autonomy, precision and simplicity: make a quality choice and rely on the support provided by InfoBusiness Connector, provide your company with a real Business Intelligence!

The new year brought along many new features "made in Microarea". The new release 3.6 of Mago.net is rich as in regards to new functions and growingly useful under many aspects. The area of Mago.net, which has enjoyed most benefits from this overall product improvement, is the administration, and sales and purchase cycle thanks to the new module Credit Limit Management, created in order to ensure a wide and on time management of the credit limit allowed to you customers. 

The Credit Limit Management module is the utmost complete solution for your company. This thanks to the customer status analysis, the four parallel customer limit management lines, the possibility to keep track of the credit delivery and invoicing, the wide integrated reporting together with the an outstanding level of customization. In other words, you can keep full control over the order fulfilment according to needs and requirements. 

Besides being coherent with the company's policy as in regards to the credit limit management, the Mago.net module can be entirely customized hence allowing to apply preferential behaviour parameters for each single customer.  

Thanks to the control functions, which operate automatically during the crucial phases of the sales cycle (from the order acquisition to the order delivery), the program behaviour can be driven in a pre-established manner or manually forced in certain situations, decided according to the situation.  

The Credit Limit Management module allows to block to a sales order should one or more parameters (relating to the credit management) be disobeyed, this meaning that the order can be registered yet not fulfilled unless being unblocked. 

When saving documents such as a sales order, delivery note or invoice, Mago.net checks the credit limit. If one or more verification identify a crossing over the allowed limit, Mago.net will block or warn the End User, this according to the pre-established setting. Thanks to the Credit Limit Exposure window, available within all documents, you can get hold of clear graphic indications (traffic light) along with a warning regarding the parameters that have been disobeyed and the ones that ask for particular attention.  

The available lists allow to have full knowledge of the allowed credit limits, the exposure of each single customer, the customers that have exceeded the limit according to the parameters and last, but not least, the blocked orders. The reporting system of the Credit Limit Management module is a truly efficient monitoring tool able to help you in the analysis of each customer any time you deem this necessary.

The benefits and advantages offered by this new module are amplified by the possible union with EasyLook, the latter allowing to use very easily the Credit Limit Management module also via Internet! For just one second, think how easily your agents will be able to verify, in real-time from their iPads, the credit limit of each single customer.   

If you wish to have a full view of the highlights offered by the Credit Limit Management, have a look at this short video. Your M.L.U. service is active and you are interested in recieving further details regarding the functions of the new module? Microarea provides you with possibility to follow a useful NON EXISTING PAGE e-learning course  in order to learn all there is to learn on the Credit Limit Management...directly from your office desk!

Any company or professional position that relies on Mago.net in order to improve their everyday work will surely enjoy the benefits brought about by the new features included in the 3.6 release!

A new module will surely enrich the functional performance level of Mago.net: Credit Limit Management. The module ensures full control over the credit limit made available to your customers, managing in a fully customized way, and thanks to effective graphical descriptions, the status of the credit limit throughout the various phases of the sales cycle.

Mago.net has been enriched with a whole series of new functions: let us have a look at various significant highlights.

The storing of the documents with EasyAttachment proves to be a vital solution for any company: today we can search for any type of document, found within the archive, simply by typing part of the text of the electronic document! The employment of the barcodes, for the filing of each document, guarantees a storing system increasingly precise and simple.   

For those of you who are often out of office, or work on Mac, you will be glad to know that from now on you can export in MS-Excel the data of the reports also from the Internet browser thanks to the EasyLook module.

EasyBuilder is the present and the future of the customization: also in Mago.net 3.6 there are several new features providing incredible advantages to all developers, increasing the possibility of creating tailored solutions whilst facilitating the access to the resources.

Within the WMS area (logistics), the barcode management is now extended also to the GS1-128 type, highly flexible and able to contain a large quantity of information, which is essential within certain market segments such as the food industry, where the item code, lot and expiry date are information obtainable thanks to one single scan: an outstanding time saving! The 3.6 release also makes available the so-called cross-docking, the procedure that makes the goods receipt and shipment an exceptionally fast and clear-cut procedure, this when there is no need to stock the goods within your warehouse. The management of the Wi-Fi handheld devices (ensured by the WMS Mobile module) allows managing at 360 degrees the receipt of the goods, this besides featuring countless improvements ergonomically speaking, hence making the terminal work in a faster and easier manner.  

The allocation order procedure, along with the analysis on the single order, in the purchase cycle is a truly outstanding feature. Such procedure analyzes contemporarily the head data and the data found within each line of the customer order, providing for the delivering of the goods only if the latter are available: an excellent tool to rationalize the transportation costs.

Moving on to the customers, suppliers and contacts masters, we can find new important information, such as the certified e-mail address (PEC) or the GPS coordinates of the various HQs.

The administration is also "on the move". A great number of new features, including an enhanced functionality regarding the Declaration of Intention, which can be addressed to a specific Customs office, to the fundamental subdivision according to the rates of the invoices issued but not yet collected, necessary for the correct filling out of the VAT annual statement. What proves to be also very useful is the new procedure that allows to automatically close the payables and receivables accounts in the bill book of the customers and suppliers, this with a residual balance lower to the value applied to the end user. The same procedure allows creating journal entries. In Mago.net 3.6, the cost centre and the jobs from an analytical point of view are optimized throughout the comparison between the actual and budget values, this in order to keep track of the company profitability. The accruals and deferrals are now available also in forecast accounting and the creation of an intra-year balance is now really simple! 

The manufacturing control area also moves fast forward thanks to its integration with the WMS, this throughout the management of the downloading of the components from the pre-shipping document. The lots generation in manufacturing has now become even more flexible and able to adapt to the requirements of each company thanks to the new parameterizations. The versatility of the manufacturing orders, which allow modifying the phases also should certain manufacturing operations be running, has been enhanced further.

All of the above is just a tiny part of what the new Mago.net release 3.6 is able to offer to your company. If you wish to find out more, read the release note and make sure you are covered by the Microarea Live Update Service in order for you to proceed with the downloading of the update. If instead you want to receive more information regarding the M.L.U. service, get in touch now with the Microarea Sales Department.
