Written by The NFS Group | 20 Feb 2023

Every company, from the smallest to the largest, knows it must start with efficient administrative management to ensure continued growth and profitability. Abacus, Switzerland's leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software and our strategic partner, aims at facilitating business control and management by optimizing business processes.

Abacus consists of several modules built using Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. The function of each of them is to facilitate automation and digitization of a company, providing it with the tools it needs to remain competitive by streamlining processes and eliminating administrative issues related to manual and paper-based management.

The different modules of which it is composed make Abacus an extremely customizable solution that can be adapted to any need of realities of all types, from SMEs to multinationals.

Among its various functions, Abacus stands out as a software for digitizing accounting and HR management. Two fundamental aspects for the proper functioning of a business, but for which still many companies remain tied to traditional management processes. A pity, considering how much software such as Abacus enables entrepreneurs to maximize productivity, saving costs and reallocating resources to the core business, giving maximum vent to creativity and talent.
