Archipelia is an all-in-one business management software (ERP) that helps manage your company’s various processes on a single platform, including commercial management, supply chain management, production management, product information management (PIM), B2B/B2C omni-channel commerce, CRM and marketing, and accounting.

The ERP also integrates with two additional tools: POSia, a mobile and connected point-of-sale management system, and TCBia for managing warehouses. Archipelia is a cloud-based solution, providing access to the software from anywhere at any time.

The subscription covers hosting, maintenance, updates, and support or hotline services. Archipelia has solutions for businesses of all sizes, offering Archipelia Origin for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and Archipelia Unlimited for mid-sized companies.

Archipelia Origin is a scalable ERP for SMEs, startups, and VSEs that want to grow. It shares the same core software as the Unlimited version, allowing for easy upgrades.

Archipelia Unlimited is an ERP solution designed for SMEs and large organizations with diverse functional requirements and specific business actions, providing customized support through dedicated project managers.

The ERP offers eight modules, which can be purchased individually based on the company’s needs, covering various aspects such as commercial management, supply chain management, production management, PIM, B2B/B2C omni-channel commerce, CRM and marketing, accounting, and reporting and business intelligence.

Benefits of Archipelia include a comprehensive solution for all departments, streamlined information flow between departments in real-time, centralized data management accessible by all departments, and real-time connectivity with e-commerce sites, marketplaces, and mobile or touch checkouts for efficient commercial management.

For the implementation of Archipelia, you will encounter several complex alterations that adjust the system's default behavior to better suit your processes. Therefore, when rolling out and updating this implementation, it's essential to ensure that any previously made modifications still function as expected.

Typically, the process begins with manual validation, whereby certain assigned individuals scrutinize existing functionality to ensure it operates correctly.

However, as the validation volume increases, you may find that the process becomes time-consuming, impeding progress and efficiency. Moreover, the human element introduces the risk of errors and the potential for significant issues to be overlooked.

This is where the need for an automated system to replace manual validation activities becomes apparent. Automation can significantly reduce the time and resources spent on validation, enhancing its accuracy and efficiency. Nonetheless, this process presents its own challenges:

• First, there's the issue of constant updates and test maintenance. Archipelia is regularly updated with new versions, which could cause your test automation to fail due to subtle changes introduced in the new release. This could render a large portion of your tests obsolete, thus undermining the very purpose of test automation.
• Second, there's the requirement to hire engineers capable of building automation. These highly-skilled professionals can be challenging to find and represent a substantial investment for your organization.

Fortunately, there's a solution: testRigor. testRigor is a revolutionary human emulator that understands English and conducts tests from the perspective of an end-user. This innovative approach to automation allows your organization to simultaneously achieve multiple key objectives:

1. Enable your existing employees to build test automation, regardless of their technical proficiency. As testRigor is an AI-driven, no-code solution, setting up the environment and building tests becomes a much more seamless and efficient process compared to traditional testing tools.
2. Ensure your automation system is robust enough to withstand the release of new versions. Unlike other systems, testRigor does not rely on the detailed specifics of the implementation. This results in unparalleled stability, saving countless hours each week.
3. Enhance visibility within the team, as anyone will be able to understand the tests and contribute if needed.
