As with everything in life, our skill level improves as we gain more experience; and as your skills advance in using xTuple, the value of this toolset increases exponentially.

When you first see xTuple, it may seem strange and complicated. Yet, over time you'll find it extremely powerful in assisting you and your business to become more efficient and effective. That effectiveness, though, depends on learning how xTuple works — and developing (and maintaining) business rules and procedures to take full advantage of the application.

xTuple software does not run on autopilot. Like any part of your business, it requires regular human maintenance and review. So what are you maintaining?

  • Information about all of the elements of your business, which naturally change over time, such as items, costs, customers, vendors, terms.
  • Ongoing activities in the system, such as open payables and receivables, inventory levels, sales orders, purchase orders, and work orders.

Assigning at least one (1) member of your team with ownership of xTuple at your organization significantly improves the effectiveness of the tool, and its value for your business. It's our mission to support you learning about — and your successful use of — xTuple.
