Online Commerce A Necessary Challenge

Internet offers enormous opportunities, but survival in this market is not easy. It does not simply involve the creation of an attractive website with a shopping cart, it requires much more.

Woburn, MA, December 03, 2014 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of AuraPortal Business Process Management (BPM) software, has published a study entitled “The market is on the Internet” which analyses the profound changes in the preferences and buying habits of a now generally globalized market and the problems faced by the majority of companies, in any sector (not only the ones involved in online sales), whose Promotions, Sales and After-sales services are affected by the new trends demanded by the current market.

AuraPortal has been distinguished with great advantage over its competitors by Ovum in its Decision Matrix report and by other renowned analyst firms.

Convenience, price and time savings accelerate the growth of eCommerce, however most companies have not yet realized the extent of the change in mentality, focus and the technologies necessary to adapt the way companies are managed in this new market.

In an emerging market, with a small investment, some small (or even tiny) companies have achieved successful sales thanks to the Internet, but a global market not only means many buyers but also many vendors which makes it more difficult than the traditional market.

Most companies must adapt their strategies to the characteristics of the new activities; furthermore, they must have the correct tools to optimize their management.

AuraPortal is the leading Business Process Management (BPM ) software with a perfectly integrated eCommerce system. It is characterized by its ease in handling and purchasing operations. The total integration of online ordering with delivery of products offers an extraordinary advantage, given that it allows unprecedented automation of sales operations. It is not a case of completed eCommerce actions providing data for a database but the conversion of this data into information flowing through processes.

Through AuraPortal Cloud, this solution is accessible to any economy.

AuraPortal Improves the Efficiency of Horticultural Companies Thanks to BPM

Frutas Bean uses AuraPortal Mobile BPM software (for mobile devices) to solve the location issues of their employees and to improve the quality control of their products.

Woburn, MA, November 29, 2014 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM) software, has announced that, the ease of integration of its AuraPortal BPM suite with other platforms and devices, has enabled the consultancy firm ACBP to provide “in situ” solutions for the fruit sector based on apps for mobile devices integrated with AuraPortal processes, thus making it possible to work on/off line.

AuraPortal has been distinguished with great advantage over its competitors by Ovum in its Decision Matrix report and by other renowned analyst firms.

Companies involved in working in the countryside, like Frutas Bean, have a very specific problem which is directly linked to the fact that the majority of employees work in different locations every day and, in many cases, have poor internet access.

This created problems such as the use of information on paper (work reports, phytosanitary treatments…) and the lack of performance control of certain activities.

Frutas Bean now benefits from completely up to date information, at any moment, on work done in the field and uses this information to make informed decisions related to work optimization and cost control.

About Frutas Bean
Frutas Bean is a company located in the Bajo Cinca Region and specializes in the cultivation and commercialization of fresh fruit. It is currently one of the main exporters in the area and employs over 400 workers during periods of maximum production. Frutas Bean continually invests in processes to improve the quality of their products with view to exploring new markets, especially in Northern and Eastern Europe.

AURA, Global BPM Software Vendor, Opens a New Regional Office in Santiago, Chile, to Support its Partner Network and Customers in the Competitive Chilean Market

This new Head Office joins AURA’s existing offices in America (USA, Brazil and the Andean Region – Colombia), Europe (Holland, Spain and Romania), the Middle East / Africa (Angola) and the Asia / Pacific region (China and India).

Boca Raton, Florida, October 05, 2012 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM) Software, has announced the opening of a new head office in Santiago, Chile, from where it will operate in tight coordination with its Partner network.

Chile is the most competitive economy in Latin America and the Caribbean, leading this year’s economic growth among OECD countries. In the first quarter of 2012 Chile recorded a 5.6% economic growth.

AuraPortal (*) already has a strong presence in Chile thanks to its exclusive network of Partners and several prestigious customers, including the Ministry of Economy, Development and Tourism (MINECON), FOSIS (Ministry of Social Development), Enap Refineries, Nexus, RSA Insurance and SGS CIMM T&S. This new office will provide high-quality service to these Partners and Customers, while enhancing AuraPortal’s market visibility.

(*) The AuraPortal Process Management Platform has recently been distinguished by the independent market analyst firm Ovum in its Decision Matrix 2011 report as the most advanced BPM in the market.

According to Nelson Berríos, AURA’s Representative in Chile,”Business Process Management is already widespread in most companies, but poorly controlled due to a lack of truly effective tools. The reality is that almost all BPM tools in the market imply an excessively complex and costly implementation or they lack scalability, greatly limiting the benefits obtained. However, AuraPortal, thanks to its exclusive and innovative system known as Generatrix, offers a user-friendly system which uses checkboxes and drop-down menus to create any type of process, even the most complex, with no need whatsoever for any programming. This not only reduces the work by as much as 50%, but also helps and guides the Analyst to easily create and model any Business Process”.
