It is a solution to the problems of production management brought to companies from 1 to 100 employees GPMI software, designed by Joël Ollivier. This tool can perform all steps related to production: technical data, specifications, calculation of needs, procurement, calculating costs or need, stocks, followed by manufacturing, quality management, etc.. "I realized during my professional activity as the management of production called for heavy investment in small industries. I reflected on the possibility to write and design a package customized, easy to approach, at a good price with quality. " A first version GPMI was born in 1993. "At the time, new languages have emerged to develop the program, embedded in a Microsoft. The first years were the start of the rise and quality of the product, but with a more difficult market, "the computer was not fully part of the landscape." Joël Ollivier in 1997 decided to entrust this to a national distributor, for a five-year contract. "It did not work. We were not on the same wavelength. Their sale price was too high especially well. I have taken to zero in early 2003. " First step, a more accessible price: 500 euros for the software (with versions 100 and 200 euros depending on the number of posts), and posted on the site gpao.org who meets a great success, thanks to the possibility download a trial version for 30 days. "The product is well established. It is designed not to crash. Any failures must not "crash" the system. GPMI, available in bilingual version is very complete, very easy to implement. " Its evolution, requested by customers, can be downloaded. Maintenance is done in a very reactive. Everything is in place so that the product meets its target, which may be business, but also the CAT and sheltered workshops, where an adapted version was designed. Joël Ollivier now wishes to integrate new modules, including quotes by specialized profession, and to use the software to develop other products. |
