For the last three decades, every website and every browser-based application ever made has had the same massive flaw: you can only open one page at a time.

Something had to be done, and we did it.

At ProBuilt Software, we created a Patent-Pending breakthrough that delivers the same multitasking capabilities as installed software to browser-based applications. Users can finally multitask, meaning they can open an unlimited number of live forms simultaneously. Each interacts with each other as well as any other users working within the application.

To understand the magnitude of this breakthrough, you have to confront the truth that the software industry rarely admits: every website and every browser-based application ever made functions with what we call a “one-page-at-a-time” (OPAT) limitation. If the user needs to look at any record other than the one they are currently viewing, they need to close the current page and open a new one.

For all these years, software companies have ignored this limitation. It became the status quo. This made not only for tedious, slow, and painful data entry, data management, reconciliations, and reporting, it also made for data entry forms that just don’t make sense. Data fields that need to only hold a few characters became a foot long. Dead space on forms and pages became a spot for a chart or a graph, slowing the forms down even more with redundant, unneeded fluff data.

Floating Forms ends that limitation. Users can now view, move, resize, and simultaneously interact with an unlimited number of live forms in the same browser tab. They can work on multiple tasks simultaneously, leaving things open while opening other things, all at the same time. Seamless, live, no wasted time closing and reopening forms.

ProBuilt ERP is not a concept and not a prototype. It is a return to the days when virtually every installed Windows-based application allowed full multitasking, but this time, it’s enabled within a single browser tab. ProBuilt ERP is a full-featured Business Management Solution built on and for our Patent-Pending architecture that proves this invention works in the real world like no other system ever has.

ProBuilt ERP is also the most comprehensive of any of the most popular Business Management Solutions available on the market. By including best-in-class Accounting, CRM, and Operations Management functionality, and then adding a complete Mobile Device version that replicates the browser-based system, Employee Web Portals for HR and PTO Management, Intra-Company Messaging with Document Transfer capabilities, and even high-volume File Storage and Management with every account, ProBuilt ERP is the most significant advancement in Business Management Application design seen in decades.

The consequence is that every website development and web-based software development company on earth now faces a strategic choice: continue delivering the same OPAT experience that they created thirty years ago or evolve into this new multitasking-first reality.

And this breakthrough does not stop at SaaS. It touches every online experience. Consider any shopping website, where customers jump back and forth between product lists and details. This causes user fatigue and lost sales. Floating Forms enable multiple product lists and multiple product detail pages to remain visible and active at the same time. Floating Forms eliminate repetitive and redundant searches, enabling unlimited comparisons and improving sales performance.

The same applies to banking portals, healthcare access systems, travel platforms, insurance claims, field service systems, government websites, and every business workflow currently confined to single task flow. This is a shift that spans the entire internet. It changes how we think about digital interaction.

Paradigm shifts in technology are usually recognized only in hindsight. This time, the shift is obvious, timely, and needed. The loss of multitasking that began decades ago has returned the user experience to one not seen since the days of WYSE 50 dumb terminals connected to System 38s and hot-key posters taped on office walls. This shift finally delivers the experience users expected with online applications.

What comes next is scale. ProBuilt’s Patent-Pending Architecture can be licensed and implemented through a development partnership with ProBuilt. ProBuilt provides the models, the code, and the expertise to enable development teams to multitask-enable their applications in weeks and months, not years.

This isn’t future tech. It’s today’s technology, essential to remain competitive in an environment where the most aggressive companies will embrace the inevitable and adapt, and those that don’t adapt will be eliminated.

It’s akin to 1980, when most analysts stated flatly that Windows was not the future. Now, as it was then, multitasking is back, and here to stay.
