Overview

ALERE combines accounting, inventory, sales, purchasing, manufacturing, MRP, service, CRM and barcode data acquisition in one system with a single relational database. Transactions post in real time, so general ledger, inventory and work-in-process reports can be run as of any date. Work orders accept editable routes and material lists and record exceptions such as over-issued material, scrapped WIP, changed yields and rework. Modules are licensed individually and can be added later without re-implementation. ALERE is installed in the customer's own cloud hosting or on premises, with one installation per license, and is sold through authorized resellers.
