Document Scanning and Revisions

InterAcct has a Central Document Register which links documents in relation to:

  • Jobs
  • Clients/Prospects
  • Employees
  • Product/Materials
  • Suppliers, Sub Contractors

Now, there is a new feature that allows you to directly scan documents (say, relating to one job) – using a normal Scanning Machine – to be stored in the correct hard disk Folder and then automatically linked to that Job.

InterAcct Visual Scheduler

InterAcct is a database software product. As such, your diary of follow ups, (or your work schedule) are shown in a traditional columnar format. With the new InterAcct Scheduler, you can create a graphical calendar of your diary – to see one or more employees, for a day, week, or month.

You can easily view your spare capacity to schedule new (work) appointments, as well as ‘filter’ and re-arrange your view by “Resource” or “Category” such as Employee Class, and Customer Visits.

Requisition Purchase Items

This software enhancement to the standard InterAcct system relates to the requisitioning, and then purchasing, of items that are not normal Product/Material inventory items. These might be expense items such as purchasing protective clothing, consumables, etc.

The system utilises InterAcct’s normal “Required to Purchase” file that leads onto the automatic raising of Purchase Orders. From there, the purchase items are received via a normal Creditor’s Invoice entry (auto receiving of Purchase Orders).

Job Safety Analysis – OH&S

The InterAcct system has for some time now had systems relating to Job Safety Analysis – Occupational Health & Safety.  This is normally associated with “Jobs/Projects”, the servicing of Plant & Equipment, and also Manufacturing operations.

This latest software enhancement has –

  • Improved Reporting – Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Worksheet
  • Automatic Copying across of standard JSA information in respect to a Job Work Activity – saving on data entry considerably.
  • User Controlled areas for defining each area of the Report – No Limits

Areas include a list of Work “Steps” for each main Work Activity/Task, and a list of Potential Hazards, and then a list of the Hazard Control Measures.

Hopefully, the end result is that InterAcct Software can be used to quickly prepare the necessary OH&S Reporting required for each Job, and associated Work Activities.

Intelligent Letter Writer

Being able to use the information within InterAcct’s Client/Prospect database to quickly create a personalised letter to one (or more) of those names is often more efficient than using a separate Word Processor.

InterAcct’s Letter Writer can be used to –

  • selectively send one of your standard form letters to a Contact Name
  • send to a selected group of businesses, and contact names within those companies
  • Create (covering) letters in relation to a job to any job related Party including Variation to Contract letters
  • Minimal keystrokes required
  • The system will also update the Contact History register to keep a log of who got what letter, on what date
  • No need to address labels as letters are formatted to fit into window faced envelopes

Tangible Performance Enhancement

A September 2011 Research Report tabled by the Aberdeen Group (USA) into the success of ERP systems within SME’s concludes that “Best in Class Performances” were being achieved.

ERP    Enterprise Resource Planning (fully integrated business software packages – like InterAcct Software)
SME    Small to Medium Sized Businesses

For the fourth year in a row, Aberdeen turns its eye towards the tangible performance enhancements that SME’s are achieving through ERP systems deployment.

It was discovered that 77% of companies had already implemented an ERP solution in the USA.

The Best in Class Performances resulted in –

  • Average of just 2.69 days to close a month (including Financial Statements)
  • Average of 33.11 days sales outstanding (Debtors aging)
  • 96% complete and on-time delivery of products and services
  • 21% growth in operating profits over the last two years

The survey results showed that the Best in Class firms shared several common characteristics –

  • 96% more likely than all others to provide Decision Makers with automatic alerts when certain defined conditions occur
  • 2.61 times as likely to provide a fully integrated view of all customer information to sales and marketing employees

The key benefits of a successful ERP installation were listed as –

  1. Lower administrative and operational costs
  2. Improve on-time delivery
  3. Increase speed of decision making
  4. Increased customer satisfaction as well as new sales pipeline
  5. Gain a better knowledge of day to day operations

It is interesting to note….

  • InterAcct Software was one of the first in the world to develop an ERP system (being a fully integrated business/accounting software package)
  • Developed in Australia, InterAcct continues to be at the leading edge of this technology.
  • InterAcct’s software and services pricing allows SME’s to easily afford the investment in this software and so reap the benefits experienced by companies around the world using ERP systems.
