Project Management

Ontash uses an Agile methodology and its own internal “best practices” to plan, estimate, monitor and contract software projects. This incorporates internal reviews, feedback from stakeholders and extensive QA to ensure projects across all platforms are delivered on-time and within budget.

Successful project management is primarily about building a culture among project stakeholders (users, developers, customers, managers, QA engineers, etc.), one that is honest, transparent, and where everything moves toward improving the product.

The process is further supported by various software tools. The Ontash Agile methodology features short (usually 1-2 week) sprints. And best practices are ever-evolving.

AI and Predictive Data Analytics

Extract valuable insights from your data using reporting & visualization tools. Model your domain using Machine Learning and/or Rule Based AI Engines to make actionable predictions on what is going to happen next. Ontash can show you how to get the most insights out of your data.

There are multiple approaches to getting the most out of your data. First you have to build an infrastructure to capture data from where it is produced, and store it for analysis.

Analysis can be as simple as looking at your data using a reporting or visualization tool such as Tableau or JasperReports and also using conventional statistical analyses using tools like RStudio.

For more sophisticated analysis one can build an AI Rule engine to infer patterns in the data by programming rules provided by domain experts. In the case where this is not possible, or if one is trying to discover patterns which experts do not already comprehend, one can use machine learning to build a model of your data. This model can then be used on new data to make predictions on what will happen next.



Ontash uses Big Data Analytics to reveal reimbursement opportunities for client hospitals. SSI/SSDI reports like the one above, drill-down into the federal government’s HCRIS data bank – a 1TB database – for information that feeds an algorithm for revenue opportunites.



Ontash AI creates a model of the perfect SSI/SSDI candidate, then compares hospital data to the model, predicting likelihood of successful disability application. Award/denial outcomes are input into the system, updating the model on a continuing basis. This improves predictive analysis automatically – so that resources may be allocated to those candidates most likely to be awarded disability.

DevOps

DevOps practices combine software development, Quality Assurance, Release Management, Deployment and Operations.

The holy grail is a seamless and automated DevOps process where releases (changes to software) can be made multiple times a day if needed. This means automating the merging of software changes from different developers, building software, performing QA tests and deploying to production with the option of quickly undoing the last step if a problem were encountered. Ontash can show you how to do this.

Mobile & Web Application Development

More than half of all web searches are conducted using mobile devices, and research shows the trend toward mobile usage is growing.


That’s why Ontash web development always begins and ends with responsive design – and how the site communicates via the tiniest phones to the largest desktops. But responsive design doesn’t always provide all the remote functionality a growing business needs. When network connectivity cannot be taken for granted, when response time needs to be very fast, or when the application needs special access to hardware features (e.g. accelerometer, camera, etc.) – the answer may be a hybrid mobile app or native app. Whether iOS, Windows or Android, Ontash has the experience and know-how to put the needed functionality in your pocket.


Willows is a secure, encrypted iOS/Android cross-platform mobile app for building owners/managers and tenants. Managers can issue, collect and track fees, send individual SMS (text) and email notifications, or broadcast announcements to everyone. Tenants pay fees online, report and track complaints or repair requests – all with completely open and secure communications both ways.


Zippora is a branded mobile food app for restaurants. Customers place orders, and pay online. The restaurant can instantly change menus, coordinate the kitchen, track deliveries and collect payments. All using a secure, encrypted iOS/Android cross-platform mobile app, hosted in the cloud and delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS).

CRM - Customer Relationship Management Systems

One of the first indications that a business is outgrowing its software, is when marketing and sales seem to be out-of-synch. Marketing campaigns are driving prospects to your website, the sales pipeline is filled with leads. But leads are not converting to sales. A good CRM system could be the answer to this problem and more.

CRM software will allow you to launch marketing campaigns using email, telephone, SMS, social media and website lead capture. Then, with advanced analytics, the CRM will display real-time results – so you can modify messaging and media channels – so you can make changes on the fly. Sales team members are given ownership and responsibility for accounts, leads, opportunities with expected volumes and closing dates. No longer will it remain a mystery as to “what happened to all those leads?” Ontash can implement a stand-alone CRM system like SugarCRM, or an integrated CRM module within an Enterprise Resource Planning system.



Ontash has been providing CRM solutions with SugarCRM for over 10 years. Automate marketing campaigns, manage the sales pipeline, support customer service and provide a platform for collaboration on projects. Ontash will help you set-up SugarCRM and create custom reports for you.



The Odoo CRM app will do everything that SugarCRM can do, PLUS integrate sales, purchasing, inventory, accounting and other business groups. So when all apps are in place and a sale is recorded, it will automatically generate an invoice/check inventory/create POs to replace parts/enter amounts in AR and begin the ageing process/show impact on General Ledger – and more.

ERP Systems - Enterprise Resource Planning Systems

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is the ultimate software solution for any business. At one time, not long ago, software with this ability to manage all aspects of a business was the province of very large businesses only. Today, with ERP platforms like Odoo, the ERP system can be implemented in modules, very cost-effectively.


When a business is forced to use multiple software systems, bolted together and working autonomously, the same information must be entered into different systems over and over…with each keystroke offering another opportunity for error. A completely integrated ERP system will have custom workflows between all business areas. So an email campaign will create a sales lead, which will be converted to a sale, which will trigger an invoice, which will trigger a sales commission, which will trigger an impact on general ledger, which will reduce inventory to minimum stocking levels, which will trigger a purchase order, which will result in new stock on dock, which will be inventoried and accounted for in finance. Everything showing up on a dashboard, with fewer keystrokes, fewer errors and greatly increased efficiency.



The Ontash Agriculture Financial Services module offers a gateway that accepts a John Deere Financial payment, integrated directly into Odoo version 15 or 16 for POS and Sales Order invoices.


Ontash has customized a payment gateway using Stripe (third party) allowing users a credit card payment option at Points Of Sale integrated into odoo version 15.


Ontash has customized the Odoo Partner Ledger displaying customer Monthly Statements, showing all invoice and payment transactions as well as accrued interest for “past due” invoices.


Ontash has created several custom modules for Odoo, enhancing system capabilities and providing features not available out-of-box. One customization modifies data in the Partner Ledger to produce Monthly Statements for customers showing invoices paid, not paid, and the balance forward. Ontash has also created a custom module allowing version 15 users to charge a credit card at Point Of Sale for purchases. Most recently, Ontash is offering a module that provides a payment gateway for John Deere customers – to charge items at POS as well as unpaid Sales Order/Invoices to their John Deere Multi-Use account. Every ERP installation will require features not available in the basic software package. Ontash has the engineering resources to meet these challenges and deliver systems that fulfill client needs.



Responsive design and cross-platform mobile apps provide access to Odoo apps wherever there’s wi-fi or cellular reception. Perfect for installation, maintenance and repair businesses where workers in the field need immediate access to Odoo for ongoing projects.
