Time — is a precious and very valuable resource, not only during work but also in our private lives. Yet while we tend to consider these two concepts as opposites and separate from each other, often enough it turns out that their time lines overlap significantly.

If you’re running a business as head of your company, you probably know what this means and it just so happens that with expanding markets and rising order volumes, responsibilities increase as well and suddenly you find yourself working late during your private time to “finish up some things” (sound familiar?) and before you know it, things get out of hand and you have to find gaps in your corporate time schedule to fit in your private appointments.

This doesn’t have to happen and, quite frankly, it shouldn’t! Your private time is just as valuable as your working time, if not more even. After all, when is it you get the time for some R&R, some rest and relaxation? Exactly, during your private hours.

We live and we die by time, and we must not commit the sin of turning our back on time.^* So if we could somehow harness this time… channel it into a flux capacitor-like system… it just might work.^* We just might be able to find the perfect moment we are looking for to bring our work and private time schedules back into an efficient, effective and above all healthy balance.

We all know that perfect moment, wishing for it to last forever. But there’s no stopping time. And when that moment passes, we have to move on and find the next one. The good thing about this is there will always be another one. So don’t fret. We are here to help you keep track of and perhaps even predict the next perfect moment.

It’s important to stay on top of things, especially during these ever accelerating times of change caused by the digital transformation of businesses all over the globe. This is why we here at metas work incessantly on keeping metasfresh ERP up to date with the latest developments on the market and new requirements requested by our highly appreciated customers.

So please welcome our new major release update packed to the brim with the latest features and fixes, all checked and tested by us and ready to be used by you for managing your business efficiently so as to free up resources for a proper work-life balance you can enjoy.

Have you ever thought about what a peculiar creature the platypus is? Classified as a living fossil, it was originally deemed a hoax by the first scientists who discovered this egg-laying, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal believing it was made of several animals sewn together because they had never seen anything remotely like it. So naturally their first reaction was, “Ha-ha, very funny. Okay, who did this? Show yourself, prankster!” But the truth is, sometimes you just have to believe what you see to be reality, despite its apparent scurrility, and trust in the possibility that there is in actuality such a thing as an adaptable system — be it biological or artificial — that combines multiple features into one architectural structure with the capability to continually evolve in response to external influences and alterations. All it needs is to be open to the ways of life and never stop learning from new experiences and challenges that arise along the way.

With metasfresh ERP you have found just such a system that never rests and is always cutting the edge of technology and innovation. Thanks to its advanced headless architecture our ERP software gives you the freedom and flexibility you need to extend and adapt your business processes based on your individual needs, turning your personal metasfresh ERP system into one of a kind.

Are you still thinking, that’s too good to be true? We understand. The truth can sometimes be hard to accept and agree with. If you can’t take our word for it, look and try it out for yourself. We have nothing to hide and only want you to be happy and satisfied with your own personal metasfresh ERP system. Register for a free trial version now or download and install this week’s release package and get the latest version for free. You can check out the list below for more details about the new features and fixes of this week’s update. And in the name of Perry the Platypus we say hooroo and seeya layda! Grrr.

Change. Constant change. Change is all around us and it’s always there. No matter how big or how small a change is, there is never a moment that it doesn’t happen. It keeps us in motion, sometimes “loco” and sometimes “e” — particularly during this digital age.

Change can be tough, especially when it comes unexpectedly and it means changing your habits and taking a completely new direction, leaving your comfort zone and taking a risk. Comfort zones can be a tricky thing, too. Even though you might feel safe and at ease in them, they can be a bit inhibiting at times when it comes to change. Stepping out of your comfort zone every once in a while can eventually take you places you never thought you could reach. The important thing is to look forward and let go of the past if it holds you back and keeps you in place. John F. Kennedy and Winston Churchill knew about this all along and said, “Change is the law of life, and those who look only to the past and present are certain to miss the future.^* To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.^*”

And this is also one of the reasons, we here at metasfresh cannot stand still and always seek to improve and enhance our ERP services for you because change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.^* By working closely together with our customers we are able to build new features every day and help them reach their goals step by step during their constant transformation to a better, more efficient and sustainable business. Your success is our success and we are happy to share that with you and everybody who benefits from it.

So please accept this week’s release of ours as a token of our gratitude for your trust and confidence in our work. Check out the list below for more details about the new features and fixes in this here release package and don’t hesitate to try it out yourself on your own metasfresh ERP instance — it’s free!

Every month at the quarter moon, there’ll be a monsoon in your lagoon. ^*

Well, a little rain never hurt anybody but apparently this year’s summer got a little out of hand and mixed up with its amounts of sunshine and water that it was supposed to deliver. Sounds to us like bad materials management, as if Germany’s weather supplier needed a new ERP system to handle their requirements and fulfill the ordered services to their customers‘ satisfaction. For everybody affected by the severe weather and floods across Germany, we hope you’ve found a safe haven and that the donations collected by several organizations have reached all those in need to alleviate their hardship. We wish you much strength, courage and above all health in this extraordinary situation during this difficult time.

Looking at the situation in more detail from an organizational perspective, we see various issues along the weather supply chain that could have been prevented with good resource planning. First of all, the product is wrong. We specifically ordered a sunny high-quality summer and not some leaking knock-off temperate season that cannot decide whether it’s the one thing or another. Secondly, the timing is not ideal. We expected our delivery many weeks earlier and are still waiting. Now that’s just bad expectation management. A heads-up would have been nice. Then there’s the quantity. Besides getting something we didn’t order, we receive plenty of it or even too much at once. So while we struggle to stow it away, the shipment is probably expected somewhere else where it is needed more desperately and would come to much better use. Do you see the alarming proportions all this bad planning can have?

Enter metasfresh ERP. With a scalable, multi-service, state-of-the-art enterprise resource planning software like metasfresh all these troubles are a thing of the past. No more guessing about when you will be able to deliver what amount of products, how much will be left and when is the time to stock up on new materials. No more irritated customers being left in limbo about their orders. No more wrong deliveries to the wrong locations. Instead everything is at the right place at the right time, on time and on budget. All of this can be handled by metasfresh ERP, much of it even automatically, saving you time spent on repetitive tasks and enabling you to commit it to more important things in life.

That said, feel free to take a moment and check out our new release of this week filled with new features and fixes to help you step it up yet another notch towards an efficient, agile and scalable business. You’ll find more info about this week’s release in the list below. Get your free system update today.

Almost three weeks into summer and all we’ve been having here in our parts of the world were mostly rainy days ever since the season started. While this may not be the ideal weather for a summer break — especially after all this time being locked up at home just waiting for summer to come in anticipation of the public reopening and finally meeting up with friends and family again after this long while — we can be thankful for not having to deal with all kinds of new catastrophes caused by too much heat and draught burning up and drying out the earth which is already and still in desperate need of a water refill. For every country in the world that is currently fighting or expecting wildfires, we wish you good luck and hope for it to end soon or not happen at all.

After a couple of lively weeks at the beginning of this year’s summer season, following our presentations at the launch event of the Swiss Open Source Study 2021 and as part of the OSB Alliance’s „Members & Products“ event series, things have cooled down again and we are happy to finally announce today’s „starling“ of the week! Say hello to this week’s fresh release update, dropping like it’s hot right from the sky and into the well of eternal youth and life — because thanks to metasfresh being completely update-proof, we make sure that with every feature-filled package we release your system stays up to date and state of the art.
So dive down below into our list of new features and fixes for more details about this week’s release and make sure to get your own update today. It’s free — as free as Open Source can be! Tweet, tweet.

In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf. ^*

On Monday morning, the warm sun came up and POP! Out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar. Let’s call him metasfresh. He started to look for some food. Undulating away, he came across a new feature that he swallowed whole. But he was still hungry. Every day he devoured another new feature, adding it to his body and making it grow bigger and bigger with every single byte. And by the end of the week, he was not hungry any more. And he was not a little caterpillar any more. He was a big, fat caterpillar. He built a small house, called a cocoon, around himself and stayed inside until the day he was ready to be released as a new version of himself.

Today is that day! The day of his transformation has arrived and you are the lucky person with the honors to crack open the cocoon-like update package in order to set free the colorful butterfly your metasfresh system is about to become. Take a look at the list below for more details about this week’s new features and fixes that „cater the pillars“ for an improved and enhanced version of your metasfresh system, and get your upgrade today — for free!

Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend for us and many other countries in the world. Some already celebrated it earlier this year, and others are still waiting in anticipation of this day of glory. Whatever the date, the meaning of this day is the same for everyone which is to celebrate the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. Not all of us are mothers (partly due to biologically predefined incapabilities), but we all have one and every single one of us has their own idea of what they are grateful for and how they would like to express it.

During these pandemic-stricken times the role of the mother has regained a great deal of importance in view of the majority of social interactions being abruptly confined to the homes. Managing home office, home schooling, childcare, household affairs and many other daily routines under one roof has become a 24/7 job no one had ever dared to imagine to this extent before 2020. But mothers all over the world „womanned“ up and confronted the task laying all their power and strength into keeping their world and that of their loved ones from falling apart. This commitment deserves the highest recognition and a big shout-out to all mothers in the world: Thank you!

Managing a multitude of tasks under one roof, sometimes simultaneously while keeping track of things going on in the background and an eye on scheduled appointments coming up, always retaining some resources for unexpected events — now that sounds pretty much like running a business. And in order to not be completely overwhelmed by this situation, there are tools like metasfresh that help and support you by taking as much work off your hands as possible so you can breathe and spend more time being creative and constructive instead of permanently worrying that things might fall apart.

metasfresh ERP is designed for exactly this scenario and is already helping many companies grow and scale their business and achieve their goals better and faster every day. Our weekly releases include constant improvements, new features and bugfixes to ensure the ongoing functionality of your ERP system and offer everyone the same opportunities to manage their enterprise resourcefully. Take a look at the list below for details about this week’s release package and feel free to update your system to the latest version today!

In times like these it’s important to remind yourself every now and then that despite the ongoing social distancing measures, you are not alone. Although we have gotten used to our new reality of being bound to our homes most of the time for over a year now, our natural urge to get out there and mingle is only growing stronger by the day and most of us are probably already sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for the world to open up again and give way to all their pent-up creativity destined to thrive amongst the crowds instead of falling victim to the evanescence of the digital space.

Many things may still be on hold for now, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t happening or won’t happen in the near future. Patience is a virtue and working as a team is key to achieve the things we set out to do. Remember: If you can imagine it, you can create it. And if you can create it, you can share it. And if you can share it — well, just see for yourself! Because today we are sharing with you another one of our weekly releases filled with new features and bugfixes designed to improve, extend and enhance your metasfresh ERP system. Take a look at the list below for more information about the contents of this week’s update package and bump up your system to the latest version today. It’s free — as free as Open Source can be!
