Introducing the Returns Management Category on G2
It’s safe to say that almost everyone has returned a product that they bought, either in-store or online. The reason for the return isn’t relevant—maybe a shirt didn’t fit, a toy arrived damaged, or they just decided they didn’t want the merchandise anymore. Whatever the reason, the retailer or manufacturer needs to have the proper return infrastructure in place to process and track these returns, ensuring that inventory is replenished or updated, and the customer receives a replacement product or a refund or credit is issued.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Accounting
Accounting is one of the most important, yet daunting and expensive departments in almost all companies.
Accountants oversee all financial operations of a business to help it run smoothly and efficiently. These include preparing and analyzing financial statements (e.g., cash flow, income statement, balance sheet), paying taxes on time, and maintaining the companies’ general ledger (GL). All these tasks require a great deal of human interaction that takes time and money; no matter how careful an employee may be, there is always the chance for human error, which could snowball and lead to devastating financial results in the future.

Question on: Rootstock Cloud ERP
Why did you choose Salesforce as the Platform?
Salesforce

Salesforce is one of the world’s leading—and fastest growing—business transformation platforms with world-class security and scalability. Competitive platforms are much more general to ALL computing and are not as focused on applications that combine for business usage.

Salesforce’s cloud platform has grown to support nearly every part of a business, from sales to manufacturing. In fact, the Salesforce ecosystem has become a kind of industry in and of itself; software developers are constantly creating new apps for the platform to expand the reach of the platform and add to their customers' experience.

I invested 70% of my retirement payment on binary options with the mindset of getting it multiplied and enjoying a better retirement life. It was sweet and smooth from the start, withdrawals were easy and consistent until it gets to a point I started to be denied withdrawals and that was how I lost all money, I couldn’t get my investment amount back not talk of the bonuses. I contacted several lawyers but it was all waste of time and money, they couldn’t render an inch of help. God so good to my old self and family, I later met with a certified binary options recovery expert that helped me recover my money within 5days from the brokers Via borsatom320@gmail.com), it was worth it, he was able to retrieve my funds. If you have found yourself in same situation as me you can contact the expert on ” borsatom320@gmail.com” also he can render any other desired hacking services, I can assure he would be able to help you just as he helped me, you can give him a try if you don’t mind. Binary options brokers shouldn’t get away with this

Question on: Rootstock Cloud ERP
On-Premise or the Cloud?
Do you provide Rootstock ERP in an on-premise format or only in the Cloud?
Show More
Show Less
Rootstock is cloud-based ERP only.
Show More
Show Less
We provide a cloud only because the benefits of Cloud ERP speak for themselves. Cloud ERP deploys faster. It’s easier to use. Access to information is from anywhere, at any time and by any device. Pricing is more attractive because the “up front” costs of typical On-Premise ERP systems are deferred and spread over the life of the use of the software. Companies that implement a Cloud ERP solution are yielding cost reductions in both IT staff and hardware infrastructure.

Question on: Rootstock Cloud ERP
Does Rootstock integrate with Salesforce?
Salesforce Integration
Show More
Show Less
No. “Integration” is the wrong word. Rootstock is built natively on the Salesforce Platform using the same APEX code language so there are no integration connections required. Rootstock leverages the same platform security, data model, and user experience including the latest Lightning toolset. This is critically important to understand since other non-native ERPs must write the API integrations AND maintain them as every time that solution—or Salesforce—revs (bug fixes, enhancements, new versions, etc.) the connection defined in API is at risk and may need to be updated. Rootstock and all of the other native AppExchange apps should be considered “apps” of Salesforce.
