Wendtsoft launches 2 new products

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI NOV. 26. Wendtsoft, a division of Wendt (India), today launched a couple of excise management software products. They are Centrac and Smartrade.

Centrac version 8.0 is claimed to be user-friendly and comes with new Excise Register I format. This is supposedly a package that meets the stringent needs. Touted as an `ERP in disguise', Centrac, it is claimed, will give users the value for money. This product, it is argued, will provide end-to-end solution beginning from the point of purchase to despatch. Wendtsoft officials maintain that it is possible to upgrade Centrac over Internet, if changing rules required.

Wendtsoft unleashed on the market another product, Smartrade. This one is also an excise management product but is designed for traders. Besides automating the excise transactions of a trader, Smartrade also facilitates generation of excise reports and automates his business activities from purchase to despatch.

Wendt (India) is a joint venture between the Murugappa Group and Wendt Gmbh of Germany. The Murugappa group, it may be recalled, got into the company sometime in 1991 by staging the Corporate India's first successful hostile takeover, edging out the Khatutus in the bargain.

The Wendtsoft division is contributing just about a crore business to Wendt (India) turnover, which is around Rs. 25 crores. Company sources said that the division was doing software work for in-house needs as well besides developing these excise management products. Sources admitted that the division could develop into an `outsourcing' point for the German parent in the years to come. At the moment, however, the focus was on proving the capabilities of this division, these sources pointed out.
