ERP software provider Glovia International today said it is offering its order management application as a subscription service delivered as part of Salesforce.com’s cloud computing infrastructure.

Introduced today at Salesforce.com’s annual Dreamforce customer conference, the order management service is available for $65 per user per month, Glovia said.

The Salesforce.com cloud computing platform becomes the third major channel through which Glovia delivers its applications. The company, a subsidiary of Fujitsu Ltd., has been selling traditional on-premise versions of its Glovia ERP suite to engineer-to-order, make-to-order, high-volume, and mixed-mode manufacturers for several years. Glovia also sells GSInnovate for Manufacturing, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) version of its ERP suite.

Although Glovia was one of the first ERP software purveyors to offer its applications on a SaaS basis, the company is facing increasing competition from vendors such as SAP, Infor, Lawson, and Plexus, all of which now sell SaaS versions of their products.

Force.com is Salesforce.com’s software development and run-time environment that allows manufacturers and independent software vendors to build software applications and run them as Web-based services.

Glovia already offers its GSInnovate for Manufacturing suite on Salesforce.com’s AppExchange, another platform for hosting SaaS applications.

Hosting its order management application as a service on Force.com will make it easier for the company to integrate that system with Salesforce.com’s CRM and sales force automation applications, Glovia said in a statement. Glovia officials were not available today to answer questions.

The order management application, officially called glovia.com Order Management on Force.com, covers order management, quoting, inventory, fulfillment, and billing functions, according to Glovia.

Running on the Force.com platform, Glovia’s order management application can be accessed via a Web browser or mobile devices such as the Apple iPhone.
