> **Jayesh** | *18 May 2020* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Self customization of Input Screens, Validations as per requirements, Full access to Database, Crystal Reports connectivity, User support
> 
> **Cons**: 1. Response time is low at times in some modules. Especially terms and conditions.
2. Inserting additional fields in the table is painful. There are many fields one has to browse through and one does not know whether these are mandatory fields used by others.  
3. If possible, option required to delete unwanted fields that are not mandatory in nature and may not be required by client 
3. Changes in the Field placement over the screen do not function
4. Option needed to select fields to be displayed in the grid
5. Option also needed to search on all these fields
6.  At times the page turns un-responsive and needs to be refreshed resulting into the re-entry of data
7. User-manual not available for the SW and its flow
> 
> Our search for a meaningful, implementable and cost-effective ERP solution went unabated for many years. It was an arduous task to find and ERP meeting our distinct requirements. Every such explore with new ERPs met with perturbing results. Most ERPs suggested large scale customization with heavy price tag. Fortunately our endless search and struggle ended with successful testing of DataNote. The most striking feature of DataNote is self-customization of Input Screens with validations, full control over the client Database that most ERP vendors do not offer and thereby dictate terms with clients.

DataNote is the only enterprise solution developed with the innovative OpenLogic Framework technology. In the case of ERP implementation, it becomes necessary to share all the data/business logic/trade secrets/operation logic and formulas to the implementation partner/vendor or consultant but in the case of DataNote, it does not require sharing all this information. We have developed such a framework, which has to have two major parts. One is Structure Engine and the second is Logic Engine. The ownership of Structure Engine remains with us while the Logic Engine is free to manage by the client as we deploy the logic engine at the client-side, where the client can execute all the logic, formulas and secrets, and that’s how the client can keep their business secret from the rest of the world.\n\nThe base-level source code for DataNote ERP comprising of core features, dedicated modules, add-ons, etc. Significantly structure engine is the brain of the ERP solution responsible for carrying out all activities without needing you to move an inch or spend time on customization. In other words, the structure engine consists of millions of code lines defining all basic features of the ERP.\n\nThe logic engine is introduced in the engineering ERP industry for the first time by DataNote. The logic engine provides companies with complete freedom to customize ERP processes, modules, user interface, etc. based on operational requirements. For this reason, our modular approach promises you will not have to share your trade secrets and operational policies at any point to ensure complete trade secrecy. In general, the ownership of the logic engine always stays with you and it consists of over 3 lakh lines of code making your ERP solution highly contestable for eternity.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/1c9a103f-fb92-4279-8ff4-4ff7fa138387.jpeg","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2047997/datanote","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2047997/datanote#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.5,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":12},"offers":{"price":"12000","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"INR"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Windows, Windows on premise, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2047997/datanote#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"ERP Systems","position":2,"item":"/directory/322/enterprise-resource-planning-erp/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"DataNote","position":3,"item":"/software/2047997/datanote","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
