Supply Chain software Technology | ProAct International Ltd

A technical platform built for the future
Leading edge, Flexible, Scalable & Secure

Enterprise Digitalization Technology Overview

ProAct solutions are built and deployed on scalable, secure and future proof, industry standard technology. ProAct’s own Process Digitialization Engine (P.D.E) technology underpins the entire product suite. A fully browser-based user interface, supported by Android mobile device apps provides maximum availability, accessibility and collaboration. Industry standard, interchangeable technology stack components and deployment methods offer maximum interoperability and flexibility. ProAct also offers both on-premise and cloud based deployment options

Scalability begins first within the ProAct solution itself and is further supported by the ability to distribute load within the platform and stack components. Security is supported at a number of levels including data encryption in transit and at rest (https/ftps), SSL certification, single sign on, 2 factor authentication and more. Data and environment resilience is supported through multi-server or multi-zone mirroring options and data access is further protected by specific role based user restrictions.

Cloud based hosted deployment

For clients with limited IT resources or wishing to get running quickly ProAct offers fully managed solution hosting. This is available irrespective of what type of license you purchase. ProAct provides and manages hosting through the use of the Amazon AWS EC2 service. This provides a highly secure, resilient and reliable platform on which to host the ProAct solution and adheres to a host of compliance programmes.

The hosted model can be used as a long term solution or as an interim solution with a view to porting to an on-premise model. All hosted solutions are fully managed by ProAct and most environments include PRODUCTION and UAT environments.

On premise client deployment

ProAct offers both hosted and on-premise deployment. Our hosted solutions are hosted via Amazon AWS and come with all the security, resilience and flexibility that a hosted solution can offer. A hosted solution is also the fastest way to hit the ground running with any new solution deployment. Where clients prefer to deploy the solution on-premise (or migrate from hosted to on-premise), ProAct offer installation training and support to the client’s internal IT department. This includes assistance in sizing the environment, certifying technology stack components, installing and testing. Ongoing support is then provided to the client’s IT department as needed.

Digital Twin & I.O.T

ProAct solutions have been supporting the Digital Twin principle for many years. The ProAct Process Digitalization Engine (PDE) underpins the Digital Twin concept and provides the ‘Digital Thread’ that is at the core of any Digital Twin. Hand in hand with this is the capture of physical real-world data from multiple sources or devices (I.o.T). Be that telematics, diagnostic data, positional data or anything else, ProAct solutions are fully capable in the capture, interpretation and processing of such data.

Future Technology Roadmap

ProAct has always invested heavily in its products and technologies. That focus on investment continues to grow and drives our future growth and solutions strategies, enabling us to deliver solutions that are always relevant to the global challenges that continuous change and evolve in an increasingly more disruptive market. Be it Telematics, ‘Big Data’, ‘IoT’, Industry 4.0 or whatever tag you chose to use, ProAct solutions will always facilitate the business goal. Our underlying development technologies also continue to evolve and refine in order to support more dynamic, distributed and device orientated delivery and mobilisation.

Integration

Integration is another key strength of a ProAct solution offering number physical connection methods (ftps, http, api, queuing etc) and formats (eg XML,CSV,JSON, ANSI etc). A series of powerful integration management tools ensure that in valid data is managed and corrected efficiently and quickly.
