Ideas from competition

Hi all,

I got an email from a company I never heard of before. - http://www.scalus.com/

After looking at their offerings online it seems like they have some tools which could be beneficial to ERPNext. At first glance, the automated onboarding seems like a cool tool, as well as the accounting which I know has been a hot topic in the forum as of late.

Here is the youtube channel for others to view for ideas and inspiration - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxp0XngafUFpLI5ym7VdeQ

Personally something i’d like to see would be an enhanced onboarding experience with ERPNext. As of now it feels very mechanical, perhaps with either some enhancements to the HR module, or a new app something could be done to automate the process.

For us we send out onboarding documents through the service hellosign, then we review the documents and pass them on to the client, we then take the data and manually input it into ERPNext while saving the file to google drive, then copy the file back to the ERPNext employee page.

What would be nice would be Onboarding > Enter email id and name of person being onboarded. Email is sent welcoming them to [company] > then they have a one time link to fill out their ERPNext Employee profile, as well as any related files or links. After they submit their info to ERPNext directly, as well as fill out the onboarding documents we get notified of the new user which will reduce lots of repetitive data input.

Looking forward to seeing others ideas!

Seems to have an interesting product, figured the community would be interested in more ideas from competition.

Now to figure out where these guys are finding my email address :sunglasses:
