BUT
Company policies or regulations may prevent you from using a cloud-based solution.
A self-hosted application has considerable hidden costs.
Operating the infrastructure, installing and upgrading the application, training your IT-staff, managing backups… all add to the TCO (total cost of ownership).
Careful evaluation of that cost versus the benefits is an important exercise!
Editions for software companies:
Embed frepple as a white-label addon in your application.
Developing advanced forecasting, planning and scheduling functionality from scratch requires a lot of effort, time and knowledge.
Leveraging a third party component is much faster and efficient.
Frepple offers different options for scalable and fast integration of data in both directions.
It’s easy to embed frepple web pages in an iframe in your application and customize the look and feel of frepple to mimic your application. End users have a seamless user experience.
User authentication is transparently delegated to your application.
That’s the question
