Gillani Inc., a provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions for small-to-mid-size businesses (972-918-0400, www.gillani.com), announced a new pay-as-you-go application service provider (ASP) model.

"We wanted to create a solution to meet the needs of small distributors in a growth mode who are ready for the functionality of an ERP system, but aren't ready to make the full investment," said Syed Kamal, CEO. "An ASP model allows them to acquire and quickly utilize a world-class ERP and supply chain management solution to address changing customer requirements, business growth and an evolving market."

The Web-enabled system provides order management, inventory and warehouse management, advanced inventory planning and replenishment, purchasing and procurement, as well as financial and accounting functionality.

The system is designed for small distributors with $5 to $75 million in annual revenues and fewer than 100 employees. Users pay only for those applications they need. Kamal said that a typical user can implement an ASP model in six to nine weeks.
