BE-terna Reactor Platform for Developers

A ready-to-use Application Development Framework for ERP-skilled organizations and partners

BE-terna Reactor Platform for Developers is designed for companies and partners who want to build their own user applications directly inside their ERP landscape. It provides a ready-to-use, low-maintenance development environment that makes it simple for in-house ERP specialists or implementation partners to create, extend, and deploy business applications.

Why is the Reactor Platform different?

The Reactor Platform has been developed and refined by BE-terna over many years and is a well-founded, thoroughly tested tool for both partners and customers. 

The following special features apply to our platform:

  • User-friendly and system-independent. A platform that let's you build apps directly in the ERP system (Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or Finance & Supply Chain Management) or any other web services or OData providing system, e.g., an old ERP system you would like to replace in the future.
  • One single source of code to create applications in multiple operating systems, i.e., Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
  • 100% automation and digitization, 100% mobility, and 100% integration with most hardware types, e.g., barcode or RFID scanners, Bluetooth devices, Android scales, and third-party hardware.
  • No middleware between the ERP system and the device, so data transfer happens in real time and is even possible in offline environments. 
  • The Reactor applications are most often developed in the leading ERP solution and can be shipped in bundles with either our or your core industry solutions. If you want to customize them yourself, the source code is compiled in one place, making it easy for you to manage, maintain, and deploy.

Benefits for users

Applications built on the Reactor Platform not only help you accelerate and simplify a variety of business processes but also improve customer and employee satisfaction.
On-the-go

On-the-go

Most importantly, the Reactor Platform makes employees’ individual processes available on the go and integrates hardware and additional third-party software components super easily.

Simplified processes

Simplified processes

Business applications for, among others, inventory, stock taking, production and logistics, simplify data collection, data registration, and data analysis for all kinds of processes and industries.

Faster and more accurate workflows

Faster and more accurate workflows

Each application is a digital mirror of the business processes and the actual doing, enabling much faster and flawless work processes for users.

Online and offline flexibility

Online and offline flexibility

All users can securely access the apps targeted to their specific job role and business line, get insight into data, and register data directly in the app, both real-time, while using the original ERP logic, validations, and process steps, and offline, without having access to the ERP system. The offline program code is also written in the source ERP system.

Benefits for Developers

Overall, everything is prepared and preconfigured for developers and for the end users. Easy integration with hardware and software, and coding in the primary ERP language are two of the most essential benefits for developers.
Easy integration

Easy integration

The Reactor Platform encapsulates everything and integrates with everything. The Reactor Platform provides a curated selection of hardware and third-party SDK (Software Development Kit), which is integrated in the base platform and publishes optimized features for developers. Thus, developers should no longer worry about developing a native Android app or how to integrate hardware. This is done by BE-terna's core development team which provides all the functionality through the core platform.

Coding in the main ERP language

Coding in the main ERP language

Developers don’t need to learn a new code language as they can work in their familiar ERP coding environment. If a process in the ERP system changes, the workflow is also automatically affected and updated because the process is 100% compiled and tested in the original ERP system. Since you can mix UI/UX and ERP process logic directly in the same code side by side, it allows you a really fluent and intuitive programming.

Complete freedom

Complete freedom

Unlike low-code/no-code solutions, developers have complete freedom and flexibility in the webapp-based UI design and the implementation of the logic/behaviour of the applications they create. Furthermore, developers can use predefined style sets, layouts, and architectural hierarchies, such as extensions. All user interfaces are fully customizable, and all modules can be reused.

Scanning features

Scanning features

BE-terna integrates RFID, native Android features, or augmented reality components from other software vendors and makes them easily available to you or your developers.

Ready-made apps

Ready-made apps

With the help of an automatic built system, ready-made apps for all environments (e.g., development, test, production environments for desktop and mobile clients) are provided and available from day one. The responsive design of the interface always adapts exactly to the screen size of your hardware. So, there is no need to distinguish between mobile or tablet sized solutions.
