Completely integrated operations across your business
The solution is orientated around managing the whole business, and improving procedures around operations, stocks, services, cash flow, sales, purchases and accounts. Everything works in synchronicity, preventing the replication of work and human error, as well as producing critical information while still being very relevant to the task at hand.
Empower your financial controller to save time and make money
Catching nearly all transactions as they happen while automatically updating the nominal ledger eliminates paper chasing and duplication. Once implemented the solution automatically cuts back on many none productive daily operations. Having complete traceability within each individual document, combined with the “click & drill down” function within any related documents overcomes many potentially time-consuming obscurities.
Control your sales and procurement processes
The sales ledger is completely integrated within all aspects of the system and empowers the sales manager to coordinate, standardise, monitor and manage transactions in real-time. It allows for delegation within the sales team to be more efficient and effective not only externally, but also internally with other departments. Enforce mandatory minimum margins and account credit restrictions. Avail of easy to use analytical tools for analysing customer/product historical sales.
Automate credit control procedures
Facilitating proactive and reactive ways to improve a business’s cash flow. Multiple credit limits, customised debtor letters, allocation of account managers, instant access to due transactions, notes & logs of all correspondence, instantly freeze any account, enable contras, enable popups and the ability to view summary analysis of previous historical behaviour patterns.

Financial performance can be monitored and controlled in much more effective fashion than ever before, empowering senior management with real-time visibility of all processes, and has proven to give companies the competitive edge.
Comprehensive ERP Functionality
This business management system has a large number of short-cut utilities to facilitate employees working in a busy telephone environment. Offers key functions such as quick find, quick view, quick entry, clone & change, quick edit, split screen views with complete drill down to real-time information. Other data functions such as group, sort, filter, analyse & chart functions are present within the system itself. Excel exporting is available, but becomes less of a necessity as you can easily customise and save screen views in the format you require.
Flexible Modular Structure
Our solutions are built around modular structure that allows for a product that’s flexible and scalable depending on the size of your business, taking into account your present and future requirements. If at a later time more functionality is required, additional modules can be added that will essentially snap in place and expand the system and allow you to do more. In this way, the price can be kept down to your budget at the time of purchase, with the capability of expanding the feature set over time.
Drill-down to original documents
Our ERP product features complete drill down functionality on all documents, customers, suppliers, products and nominal ledger accounts. At any stage of the transaction process, you are able to see the woods from the trees and gain valuable insight into any business process. Having complete real-time traceability within each individual document, combined with the “click & drill down” function within any related documents overcomes many potentially time-consuming obscurities. Furthermore, there are no mandatory end of month procedures and no loss of detail over time.
