BLISS is an advanced, integrated suite of modular software able to support single site businesses as well as multi-site, multi-national operations. It enables control to be exercised over all aspects of the manufacturing and logistics process from receipt of order to distribution of product.

Independent of any hardware platform, the BLISS user interface and database structure ensures that customer investment is protected from future technological changes. The modular nature of BLISS enables it to be implemented across all types and sizes of company.

BLISS was originally designed, and continues to be developed, to satisfy the needs of process manufacturers. Its pedigree gives it a unique depth of functionality and breadth of scope unequalled in traditional MRPII systems.

• It supports a consistent, single and highly visible view of all the enterprise's information
• BLISS exploits the latest software innovations such as client/server architecture, UNIX Open systems standards, graphical and character user interfaces, relational database options, and on-line, case sensitive help
• Batch semi-process and continuous process manufacturing styles are catered for, enabling those organisations with a mix of styles to operate without limitation
