What is the Hardcat V-Series?
The Hardcat suite of software products plays a pivotal role in driving the success of our customer solutions. It consists of two primary offerings: and enterprise system Hardcat Lebosi® and the Hardcat V-series, each designed with modular applications and mobile support for enhanced functionality.
Hardcat Lebosi serves as the foundation for large-scale, enterprise-level deployments, seamlessly integrating with existing business applications such as Finance, ERP, and HR systems. It is tailored for organisations requiring specialised asset management capabilities to complement their broader business operations.
On the other hand, the Hardcat V-Series is ideal for smaller deployments, providing a comprehensive solution for organisations in need of a single, robust system. While maintaining Hardcat’s core asset management expertise, it also includes features a finance module (depreciation), making it a strong choice for businesses looking for targeted, self-contained asset management solutions. The capabilities of the V-Series solutions are packaged to address the customer’s specific set of operational needs and can be made-up of a combination of modules.
