Dansoft policy is to cater and customize for all client needs
Dansoft’s policy is to add all reasonable requested features related to the purchased modules to the standard off-the-shelf system.
This is done within the annual maintenance fee, such that the client is encouraged to put forward requests to optimize the system for the client, without worrying about customization costs.
Through configuration flags, each client can decide which features to turn off or on.
It is also possible to tailor the appearance and functionality of the system to individual users, such that an operator will see only certain modules or have limited access to others.
Even requests for completely new modules are considered favorably, and often provided to the requesting client at a discount.
