InterAcct Software has now announced that the Payroll Software module is now provided as an optional extra with their Lite version.
Previously, only the standard InterAcct package offered the numerous optional Software Modules – including Payroll.
Pricing is as per the InterAcct Lite Pricing Schedule (see separate note).
Rental: from $20 a month. Outright purchase $900, plus Annual Support @ 20%. Training allowance: 5 hours @ $140 per hour. All figures + GST.
The InterAcct Lite system was previously only available on a monthly “subscription” basis. Now, there is the option to purchase the Lite system outright.
The outright purchase price includes –

Effective from January 1, 2011, InterAcct Software have announced a substantial price reduction in regard to their new InterAcct Lite version.
This reduction is to be made retrospective for all previous InterAcct Lite customers.
The monthly subscription payment has been reduced by $50 a month ($600 per annum). This represents a 25% saving !!
In other words, the total cost for the (3 User) InterAcct Lite version is –
Please Note : All costs are plus GST (+ 10% in Australia).
The InterAcct Lite version includes CRM, Accounting, Job Costing, Estimating, and Quoting. For further details, please refer the InterAcct-Lite Software Profile.
InterAcct have developed a new Software Module to handle Debtors accounting where there is a Head Office and Branches involved.
Previously, this requirement was achieved through individual customer software personalisation, so having a standard module will now mean –
This module offers –
InterAcct Software has commenced work on a new customer software installation – yet another Lighting Manufacturer.
This new customer has purchased the Bill of Materials Manufacturing and Production Scheduling system. Also included is the Sales Kitting software module which allows them to sell a bundle of products as a single item.
Some database and report personalisation work is being carried out to meet this customer’s specific software requirements. This includes –
Later, this same customer plans to extend their use of InterAcct into their Retail Lighting stores – using InterAcct’s I-POS (Retail Point of Sale software).
As you may know, we have been installing software packages into businesses now for nearly thirty years.
It can certainly can be a case of the pain before the gain if you don’t go about it the right way.
InterAcct has just produced an updated version of their long standing Implementation Process note.
One could argue that this document is probably not perfect – so we may need to modify it for your InterAcct installation.

InterAcct now have two versions of their successful software package to offer the Trades and Contracting industry with the introduction of their InterAcct Lite system.
The software integrates into one system Job Costing, Budget Estimating, Quotations, Accounting, and Sales & Marketing. The Materials (Stock) database show purchase cost history, and sub contractor’s Works Orders are linked to the job along with Purchase Orders, and Employee Timesheets.
The emphasis is on simplicity of use with the Lite version requiring the minimum number of keystrokes to create a job budget estimate. Many of the normal accounting functions have been automated.
Pricing of the software and services reflects the emphasis on small/medium sized businesses. There is the option of a simple Rental, or Outright Purchase. GST is not included in these figures.
Rental starts from just $100 a month (less than $50 a week) which includes the annual software support licence. Outright purchase starts from $1,800 (plus annual support, 20%). Add to this the minimum training and implementation package of 20 hours ($2,800) and you can calculate the cost of a fully installed system.
The Payroll software module is the only option. This adds $20 a month, 5 hours training, or an outright purchase of $900 (+ GST); Great value for money for Trades related companies.
The standard InterAcct system then allows you the opportunity to add optional software modules. These modules include payroll, additional methods for job cost (detailed and quick) estimating. Variations to Contract control is also contained in the Lite version.
We are justifiably proud, and just a little bit excited about the possibilities, of our latest Software Enhancement. It’s not every day that we release a new Software Module for the InterAcct system (arguably unique in Australia) that -
A Kit is a recipe to make a new finished product item - converted from a list of ’raw’ Material components, Labour, Sub Contractor’s costs, Sundries, Overhead recovery, and Plant/Machine time costs.
Anyone business that has a simple production process to make essentially a standard product or sub assembly. This might include Windows, Shower Screens, Bakery items, furniture, electrical components.
Drawing down from stock the material components and then adding the costs of converting them into a new product does not require the purchase of either the Manufacturing (Bill of Materials) nor the Job Costing software modules.
Kit Conversions is a stand-alone software module that only requires the base InterAcct system to work. As an example, a five (5) User Network software package is only $ 3,000 (plus GST, support & services).
In other words, you would get InterAcct’s CRM (Sales & Marketing), Accounting, Stock Control plus the Kit Conversion software module for as little as $ 33 a week (or $58 for a 10 User system) with our “Rent to Own” option.
The whole emphasis is on ease of use. All that is required is to create your kit of cost components, and then (for a Kit Conversion “job”) say how many you have made.
Also included is…
If the finished product item is for stock – then all the component materials are automatically issued from stock, and the finished item is added back to stock. Related accounting entries are all automatic.
However, if the finished product relates to a Customer’s Sales (back) order, or part of a Job/Project, then it is automatically integrated with those files too. It can make the Manufacturing of a multi level Bill of Materials system so much simpler too – by separately making the sub assemblies via Kit Conversion routines.
Please see the Software Profile, and also click on the link to our web site to view the Demonstration video.
Hopefully you will see how easy it will be for you to set up (and copy) your Kits, and then use them in the process to convert ‘raw’ materials into a finished product. It is a very clever little system.
However, if you send me details of your own costings (to make a product) then we can show you how it might work in your situation. Also, can I remind you to continue to check our “Latest News” Blog on our web site for other recent software enhancements.
Like any computer system, InterAcct can generate various temporary files as part of normal operations (such as report data and undelete files). These files can be routinely selected and deleted from your computer in order to free up disk space and also the computer’s memory required when accessing those Folders.
This new software enhancement makes this selection and deletion process much easier to use (requiring no special technical skills), and also less error prone (to deleting the wrong types of files).
This latest enhancement could side step the need to purchase InterAcct’s full Manufacturing software module, let alone the Job Costing system.
The Kit Conversion software module provides for a simple process to convert –
into a new finished manufactured product. The emphasis is very much on a simple to use system that does all the processing automatically, and very rapidly.
The advantages of this system are:
