While the exact timeline varies based on scale and scope, the implementation typically follows these steps:
Needs Assessment & Planning
Begin by mapping your business processes and objectives—like billing, inventory, or e-commerce requirements—and defining success criteria.
Solution Selection
Choose the appropriate Alterdata package (e.g., Shop, Shop Simples, ERP4ME.Smart) based on your size and tax regime.
Project Kickoff & Configuration Design
Outline the project plan with milestones, responsibilities, and data migration needs. This phase can take 1–2 weeks, depending on complexity.
Initial System Setup (“Primeiros Passos”)
Install the software or connect your cloud instance. Configure basic settings like company data, tax profiles, users, stores, products, payment methods, and TEF/PIX integrations.
Data Import & Parameterisation
Load product lists, suppliers, pricing, branches, and fiscal parameters. Most versions include templates and wizards for rapid configuration.
Implement custom connector logic via Bimer API.
Testing & Training
Validate workflows end-to-end (e.g., sales → invoice → shipment). Simultaneously, train users using built-in tutorials, videos, and support tools.
Go-Live & Stabilization
Transition to full operation; expect support from Alterdata during the early days to correct issues and adjust configurations.
Continuous Improvement
Post-launch enhancements, such as batch editing, automations, BI reports, and domain-specific adjustments, can be applied via dashboards and APIs.
Alterdata Store is highly customizable across workflows, fiscal setups, integrations, and functional modules:
Alterdata Store follows a continuous update cycle, with frequent releases to address fiscal changes, compliance requirements, and feature enhancements. Updates are typically automatic for cloud-hosted versions and pushed via Alterdata’s servers, ensuring minimal disruption. For on-premise installations, updates are managed through the Alterdata Updater tool, which downloads and applies patches after user confirmation. Critical updates—such as tax rule changes—are prioritized and often deployed immediately to maintain compliance. Users receive notifications through the system dashboard and email alerts, and detailed release notes are published in the Alterdata Help Center.
Alterdata’s policy aligns with LGPD (Brazilian Data Protection Law) principles. Customers retain full ownership of their operational and personal data. The platform provides export capabilities for invoices, accounting records, inventory, and customer data in standard formats (Excel, XML, TXT) to ensure portability. API access via Bimer API allows programmatic extraction for integration with external systems. Additionally, Alterdata supports data deletion requests and consent management, giving businesses control over the data lifecycle. No data is shared with third parties without explicit consent.
Alterdata Store offers modular scalability, allowing businesses to add or remove features such as e-commerce integration, BI dashboards, or multi-store management as needed. Subscription plans are flexible—users can upgrade to higher tiers or downgrade to simpler versions (e.g., from full Shop to Shop Simples) without migrating to a new platform. Scaling typically involves adjusting user licenses, activating additional modules, and updating fiscal configurations. Alterdata provides API-based integrations and centralised configuration tools to make scaling seamless, and pricing adjusts proportionally based on active modules and user count.
