Functionality in Ostendo Operations Software
There is one thing Ostendo is not short on and that is operations functionality. We rarely receive complaints about functionality and if we do, we consider it, apply the 80 / 20 rule and build it into a pending update. Updates are released every 3 - 4 months. See for yourself in the Update History. This link also shows you new features our development team are currently designing, programming and testing for planned release in future updates.
We have grouped Ostendo’s Features into these major categories for your convenience...
