Move your system from on-premise to cloud hosting.
From purchase order to port arrival, keep everyone informed.
Imported goods can be difficult to manage once they leave the supplier and begin their journey by sea, road or air. Purchase orders may be split across shipments, containers may include goods from several orders, arrival dates can change, and customers often need updates before the stock has physically arrived.
The Purchase Order Import Delivery Tracking Module is a cloud-based extension for Pegasus Opera, designed to give businesses a clear view of imported purchase orders from supplier order through to expected arrival.
It helps bridge the gap between raising a purchase order in Opera and receiving the goods into stock — a gap that, for importers, can often last weeks or months.
The module extracts purchase order details from Pegasus Opera into a secure cloud SQL database. As advance shipping advice is received, shipment information is added to build a live picture of what is arriving, when it is expected, and which purchase orders and products are included.
This is especially useful where one container includes multiple purchase orders, or where a single purchase order is split across more than one shipment. The system can record details such as container references, product quantities, associated Opera purchase orders, vessel details, departure and arrival ports, sailing dates and estimated arrival dates.
Instead of maintaining this information separately in spreadsheets or Access databases, staff can work from a central, structured system designed specifically for import tracking.
Import tracking is rarely as simple as “one order, one delivery”. A container may include goods from several suppliers or purchase orders. Customers may be waiting for specific products. Warehouses may need to plan labour and space before the goods arrive. Transport companies may need to know when to schedule collection and onward delivery.
The Purchase Order Import Delivery Tracking Module brings this information together so that users can quickly answer the important questions:
That single view helps reduce chasing, duplicated updates and the inevitable “who had the latest spreadsheet?” moment. There is always a latest spreadsheet. It is never the one you have open.
By making shipment and arrival information easier to access, the module helps keep the wider supply chain better informed.
Transport teams can plan collections and onward deliveries with more confidence. Warehouses can see what is expected before containers arrive. Customer service teams can give more accurate updates to customers waiting for stock. Managers can monitor inbound goods and spot delays or priority shipments more easily.
Because the system is cloud-based, authorised users can access the information from different locations, rather than relying on files stored on one machine or updates passed around by email.
Pegasus Opera remains the core back-office system. The tracking module extends Opera by adding specialist shipment and container visibility that is not always practical to manage within standard purchasing screens.
Opera continues to provide the purchase order data. The tracking module adds the importspecific information around that data, including shipping progress, container contents and expected arrival dates. This gives your business a practical enhancement to Opera rather than a separate disconnected process.
Because the data is held in a structured SQL database, reporting can be developed around your business requirements.
Typical reports might include purchase orders currently in transit, containers due within a selected date range, products expected by shipment, overdue arrivals, customer orders awaiting imported stock, or historical lead time analysis.
This creates a foundation not only for day-to-day operational visibility, but also for future dashboards and management reporting.
The Purchase Order Import Delivery Tracking Module helps businesses:
This module is designed for businesses that import goods from overseas suppliers, particularly where shipments involve containers, long lead times, multiple purchase orders, changing arrival dates or regular customer update requests.
It provides a focused, practical extension to Pegasus Opera’s purchasing functionality, helping your team manage the period between ordering goods and receiving them into stock. For importers, that waiting period matters. This module makes it visible, trackable and easier to manage.
Automating data transfer from virtually any Time and Attendance Management system directly into Opera.
Managing payroll data for a large workforce can be time-consuming and prone to error if handled manually. Our PM Payroll Data Importer module is designed to streamline that process by automating data transfer from virtually any Time and Attendance Management (TAM) system directly into Pegasus Opera. Whether you’re handling hundreds or thousands of employees, this solution delivers significant time savings and reduces the risk of manual data entry errors.
One of the standout features of Pegasus Opera is its multi-company capability, allowing multiple legal entities or divisions to share the same software without interference. Our Payroll Data Importer aligns perfectly with this feature. It reads customized CSV files (or other structured data) and posts the relevant entries into each Opera company. No matter how many divisions you manage, the module recognizes each company’s unique code and automatically directs the data accordingly, ensuring every record lands in the correct database.
Manual data entry is one of the biggest bottlenecks in payroll processing. Entering timesheets by hand can take hours—sometimes days—each month, especially if your organization has a high headcount or multiple pay codes and variations to track. By automating the import of timesheet records, leave entries, overtime calculations, and more, the Payroll Data Importer allows staff to focus on higher-value tasks, such as reviewing anomalies, refining policy compliance, or enhancing employee engagement.
Although this module was initially developed to work alongside Astrow, a popular Time and Attendance solution, our approach from day one has been to build a customizable framework. Many TAM systems produce CSV exports or a similar structured data file; the Payroll Data Importer reads these files, applies any mapping rules you define, and posts them into Opera. If your chosen TAM system is not listed, our professional services team can create a tailored mapping that ensures your payroll data flows seamlessly, without having to manually convert or massage the files each time.
While some payroll tools demand complex IT infrastructures or are locked to specific intranet environments, our Payroll Data Importer is built to be lightweight and standalone. You can install it as a simple desktop application on the payroll administrator’s workstation, schedule it to run automatically, or trigger it manually whenever new data is available. If your organization later decides to integrate the importer into an internal intranet portal, we also offer customization services to embed the data import forms and logs into a web-based application—so you can grow and adapt as your business evolves.
In today’s fast-paced environment, manual payroll entry and repeated double-checking can significantly delay month-end and year-end processes. With our PM Payroll Data Importer, you’ll spend less time on tedious tasks and more on strategic oversight. Whether you operate a single payroll company in Opera or a multi-company setup with different sets of employees and pay rules, this robust yet flexible tool ensures you stay on top of your payroll data with minimal hassle.
