Software[edit]

Deacom produces a system, referred to as DEACOM ERP, that is designed for manufacturing and distribution companies which include, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, sealants, and paints. The system has specific capabilities for niche industries, such as: warehousing, formulation management, sales management, process manufacturing management, point-of-sale, direct-store-delivery, lot traceability, and forecasting.[6] The software was originally built on Microsoft Visual FoxPro but was converted to the .NET platform in 2017. Since Version 15, the system's architecture is built on a Microsoft technology stack. The ERP system can be deployed either on-premises or hosted in the cloud.[7]
